When you think of a fitness retreat in India, what comes to mind? For many, it’s group workouts, generalized diets, and fleeting motivation. But at 1ON1 Fitness Retreat in Kodaikanal, you get something entirely different: the chance to train one-on-one with the founder himself, Prahlladh Bulchandani, with over 25-30 years of experience, the strength and lifestyle coach behind The Mountain Way.
Why Training with Prahlladh is Different
Most retreats rely on assistants or sub-trainers. At 1ON1 Fitness retreat India, you work directly with the head coach. Every squat, every rep, every breath is guided by Prahlladh himself.
He brings something rare to the table: the lived experience of injury and recovery. Having rehabilitated his own injuries, Prahlladh Weight loss trainer has a sharp eye for safe movement and a gift for guiding people through pain-free progress.
From teenagers of 13 to clients in their 70s, from those recovering from diabetes, cancer, or paralysis to professionals seeking more strength — Prahlladh adapts training to every individual.
The Joy of Strength Training
For Prahlladh, ...
... strength training isn’t only about lifting heavy. It’s about cultivating the muscle–mind connection — feeling each movement, mastering posture, and experiencing the joy of being strong. His approach is deeply functional. Training with him prepares you for real life: lifting your suitcase without strain, carrying groceries with ease, climbing stairs with confidence. His philosophy is simple: strength is not just for the gym — it’s for life.
A Lifelong Student of Strength
Prahlladh is not only a coach but a lifelong learner. He travels the world to learn from legendary lifters and elite coaches, constantly refining his craft.
His global training includes:
• 8 weeks of personal training with Milos Sarcev (Fit Nation Gym, Los Angeles)
• 6 weeks of personal training with Jurgen Michael, World Champion (Primal Fitness, Phuket)
• Advanced Program Design for Athletes, Kilo Strength Society, Los Angeles
• Poliquin International Certification Program (PICP) – Levels 1 & 2
• Bio-Print Practitioner, trained under Charles Poliquin in Sydney
• Weightlifting Seminar with Poliquin & Dimitry Klokov, Sydney
• CrossFit Level 1 Trainer
• Certified Kettlebell Instructor (Level 1)
• Personal Trainer & Sports Massage Therapist, Premier Global UK

This rare combination of rehabilitation wisdom and high-performance training defines The Mountain Way.
The Mountain Way: Strength with Soul
Nestled in the misty hills of Kodaikanal, 1ON1 Luxury Fitness Retreat in India is more than a getaway — it’s a transformation. Under Prahlladh’s guidance, guests discover how strength, nutrition, and stillness combine to reset both body and mind.
It’s not about punishment or drill-sergeant workouts. It’s about learning why posture matters, how breathing fuels strength, and when to push or pause. Every client is hand-held through the journey, building not just a fitter body, but the skills to live stronger every single day.
That’s Prahlladh Bulchandani — the man behind The Mountain Way. A coach, a mentor, and proof that strength is not only about muscle — it’s about living life with power, joy, and confidence.
