Off Balance fitness & wellbeing coaches · Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala

One madness. Two methods.

Coach CJ is the heart behind the fitness training: he makes change feel possible. Achuthan is the rhythm behind the ritual: he turns growth into a simple, repeatable strength system.

Coach CJ

CJ began his journey as a young footballer who wanted to get better at his sport. When the COVID-19 lockdown made movement a part of his life at home, he discovered how much it could support both physical and mental wellbeing.

That shift took him from consistent gym training to an internship at Zero Fitness Performance Studio in Trivandrum, and eventually into full-time coaching. Along the way, he explored Animal Flow, Indian swings and landmine training—methods he now brings into his work with clients.

With nearly three years of coaching experience, CJ enjoys helping people feel stronger, fitter and more confident. He has found a particular connection with wedding transformations, while his coaching content continues to bring a wide range of people to him.

Achuthan

Achuthan began his journey as someone who found physical activity to be a chore. Experimenting with different forms of movement, he realised how important it is to have fun through it all.

Those lessons helped him pivot from a corporate career to full-time coaching. With over three years of experience, he enjoys working with people and their diverse set of goals.

Approach

Movement that people can enjoy and return to.
A simple system shaped around each person’s goals.

Fitness method in motion.

Strength and wellbeing are built through repeatable coached work—clear enough to begin, grounded enough to keep returning to.

Don’t take our word for it.
