Testimonials

"I would like to place on record my appreciation and sometimes awe of Mr ArunKR. 

I have been training under Arun from June 2015 and I have never felt better or stronger.

Arun’s approach has been methodical and always tailored to my needs, I went to him as an overweight cyclist with delusions of fitness, and now 5 years hence I am happy to note that I’m at my ideal body weight, i have never cycled stronger nor faster and I have graduated to aspire to be a triathlete.

Arun is an embodiment of the word Strength , and it resonates with everything he does. His subject knowledge, the strength to rein in an over zealous client , the strength to push you beyond your limit, but just within your breaking point. The Strength to deal with your emotional state, why do i say all this ? In my opinion Fitness is an overall way of life. Its not spending 3 hours a week in a gym, its about nutrition , stress levels, training history, goals, sleep and emotional state. Sometimes you are in a dark place and you need an anchor, you need a constant which you can draw strength from, and for me pumping iron , is one of those. The sheer purity of strength training has always been a high for me ,and i always will be grateful to Arun for showing me this path and constantly motivated to stick to the program.

As a person , I always like to understand the science of whatever fascinates me , and Arun is a treasure trove on exercise physiology ,from ‘Activation Potentiation’ to ‘Posterior Kinetic Chain Firing’ I been set loose on a  rabbit hole of knowledge. After training with him, in his studio “The Training Lab” I cannot think of stepping into a commerical gym. I’ve sometimes been referred by my family and friends as a snob, but frankly I don’t care. Arun and the Training  lab are not for everyone, they are meant for the Purists , and the ones not ashamed to call ourselves snobs. Until then he is our guarded secret.

I wish Arun and his team only Success, and in my opinion its inevitable , because  they are just that damn good!" 

 "For the past 18 months I have had the pleasure of personal training with Mona Arjuna at The Training Lab. At my initial assessment, it was determined that I had markedly reduced flexibility, strength and mobility. 

I was also pushing the upper limit of my ideal weight range. Under Mona's careful supervision and personalized programme, I have improved on all 3 parameters and reached an ideal weight. Remarkably even during lockdown Mona has continued to work with me at the same level of dedication and attention and meeting her virtually has been a lifesaver in all respects! Thank you Mona and Training Lab!" 

"I have been training with Mona at the Training Lab since 2018. In fact my first interaction with Arun and the training lab environment is dated May 2017, where I had one of a kind experiences, getting introduced to a space, that is like no other regular workout. I was not initially used to the personal training set up but working out with Mona has been very easy and comforting and now when I see the journey I am convinced of the choice. Mona is diligent at her work. She keenly observes you , and pushes you to take on challenging workouts – based on your ability and drive. She is not one to be easily convinced and if you receive a “Nice or a Good work-out” comment from her, then you probably have done your best that day. The options and alternatives she has are plenty and therefore there is still something for us to learn and explore through the not so fit days, which is normal through our routine life. One thing I can quite proudly say that in these new normal times that the world is adapting to, I seamlessly have transitioned into is not just my Work from home, but also my Work – out from home. Mona has helped me maintain my fitness levels, balance out my stress and anxiety peaks through workout and her sessions gives me confidence to forge further with even more commitment. Thank you Mona and Arun and The Training Lab for being part of my fitness journey!"
