Tagda Raho HSR Layout

Long story short....I have always wanted to train myself at a place which had a blend of body weight, traditional Indian tools, ample free and breathing space unlike the conventional gym we come across; and tagda raho served the perfect combination and atmosphere. The tools we get to see here are gada, mudgar, samtola and vajra. The advantage using them is that our core remains engaged mostly during all the movements as the center of grevity for all these far off from the point we hold them and these increases out balance and grip strength. The trainings focusses mostly on strength, mobility, hand and eye coordination because the swings are dependent on coordination. The inclusion of sand pit at the dugout makes even the easy movements look tough which in a way has its own benefits. The trainers at the HSR dugout are very friendly and they guide you through out the sessions. I have personally trained under Sahana, Ashiesh and Raghul and they are just awesome. Tagda Raho feels like home..... The perfect desi akhara with a modern touch

Back in April 2025, I was someone who couldn’t lunge, squat, do a proper push-up, row, or even dream of a chin-up or pull-up. Fast forward to October 2025,, I may not be going deep or high yet, but I can finally hold proper form in most of them! A huge shoutout to Ashish for his extreme patience, he literally had to teach me how to sit on a bench correctly before teaching me to squat properly (assisted, of course). Even push-ups were a rediscovery, learning to actually use my triceps — which, trust me, didn’t exist in April! And about Parikrama… don’t even ask! I started with 4 kg double-hand swings, now I’m at 16 kg. Single-hand swings, left side from 3 kg (short handle) to 6 kg now, right side from 4 kg to 8 kg (long handle), and even hitting 10+ with short handles on good days. I’m nearing the half-century mark in age, but these OG workouts are taking me closer to L-holds — and for the first time in years, I can actually feel my abs waking up. Movement truly is the best medicine!

I had a wonderful experience working out here with the help of the Indian traditional equipments like the gada,Mudgar and Samtola. The coach give proper attention and guide you through out your sessions which is really appreciated here.
