Train with Brijesh Joshi from anywhere
Twenty-six years of coaching people in a room, applied to people who are not in the room. Brijesh Joshi started coaching online in 2024, and the method did not change, only the delivery did.
Kalpesh, sixteen weeks, nine and a half time zones away.
Kalpesh trained in the United States. His coach was in Surat. The programme, the adjustments and the food were handled remotely across a time difference that meant neither of them was ever awake at a convenient moment.
It is the clearest demonstration on this site that the coaching, not the room, is what does the work.
How it works
- You describe your actual situation. Goal, training history, injuries, what your week really looks like, and what equipment you can get to. Not the idealised version, the real one, because the plan is built on it.
- He writes the plan. Training and nutrition, built for your schedule and your food. If you eat Gujarati vegetarian food, the plan is built on Gujarati vegetarian food.
- You report back and it changes. Weights logged, weight tracked, photographs when they are useful. The first plan is always wrong somewhere; the adjustment is the service.
Who this is for
- People outside Surat who want this specific coach.
- Members of the gym who move away and want to keep the same programming.
- Indians abroad who want a coach who understands the food they actually grew up eating.
- Anyone whose schedule makes a fixed gym appointment impossible but who still wants to be accountable to someone.
When to choose something else
If you have never lifted before and you live in Surat, come to the gym instead. Learning to squat and deadlift is faster and safer with someone standing next to you, and both branches are open six days a week. Online coaching is better once you can execute the lifts.
And if what you want is a plan you can follow without ever replying to a message, this will be the wrong fit. The reporting back is not admin, it is the mechanism.
What it costs
Priced by block length and how closely you want to be supervised. Message+91 98790 69960 and say what you are after; you will get a straight answer rather than a funnel.

- Yes. S R Gym's online clients have included people training outside India, one published result, Kalpesh, was coached from Surat to the United States over sixteen weeks.
- Do I need a gym for online coaching?
- No. The plan is written around the equipment you have access to, whether that is a commercial gym, a small home setup or nothing but bodyweight and a pair of dumbbells. What you have is a constraint on the programme, not a barrier to starting.
- How much does online coaching cost?
- Online coaching is priced by the length of the block and how closely you want to be supervised. Message +91 98790 69960 on WhatsApp for current rates.
- How is online coaching different from a downloaded plan?
