How is GSF different from other gyms?

At GSF, we focus on making you functionally fit. The workouts are designed to improve your body’s natural movements and thus preparing for real world situations. These workouts improve your speed, strength, endurance, power, agility, coordination and flexibility. An amazing physique is just a by-product. Classes are made interesting with variations in workouts every day.

Why do we need it?

Life today is fast and busy, but not active. We are not running, lifting, pulling, carrying, and moving enough to be fit and strong. Our bodies are designed for physical activities and not for the sedentary lifestyle that we lead today. At GSF, the focus is on functional training with respect to the body’s natural movements. We combine cardiovascular exercises, power lifting and strength, endurance & metabolic conditioning by using natural movements like squatting, lifting, pushing, pulling, running and jumping. You don’t need machines for that. Machines balance the weight for you which leave your stabilizing muscles weak. But free weights force you to balance the weight yourself which strengthens your stabilizers. These workouts are extremely beneficial to your health and well-being.

What is functional fitness?

Functional Fitness is a balanced, total-body, overall fitness program, working on movements as opposed to muscles, is core-centered, involves developing more than functional strength, and often encompasses high intensity interval training. The focus is on compound movements that engage the maximum amount of muscles at one time. You rarely do single-joint movements like curls in the real world. Carrying or picking up heavy objects always engages several muscles. So to get stronger you must practice exercises that mimic real-world movement. This builds explosive strength. Functional Fitness program is the most effective and efficient program to achieve proper health and fitness.

Do I need any prior training experience to join ?

No. At the beginning of each one-hour session, we teach the basic movements and techniques for the day and the participants then take it forward. As fitness levels vary, the participant’s workout at their own pace with constant supervision from the trainers.

Will I get personal attention ?

Yes. We have more than two trainers in each class who work on your techniques and monitor it throughout the class.

How to keep myself motivated and not get bored?

The variations every day ensure that you stay excited and look forward to learning new workouts and techniques. The improvement that you notice in yourself with each passing day keeps you motivated to push your limits. We surprise your body with different engaging workouts everyday so your body doesn’t get used to the same routine. Group and partner workouts create a friendly environment, making it a great place to network.

Is it for me? Who is a typical member at GSF?

Functional Fitness is for everybody as it uses our body’s natural movements. We have members ranging from the age of 8 to 50+. As fitness levels vary, the participant’s workout at their own pace with constant supervision from the trainers. Functional Fitness is your best weapon to combat obesity, aches, pains and injuries, while adding tremendous benefits to your health and social well-being.

Excellent place to develop your overall fitness. You have so many different exercise options every day and they change the routine every month. So it is never boring in here. Very professional and friendly trainers who are always helpful and make sure you do the workouts in the most efficient way. They also pump you to push you to that extra limit that you thought you can never go. I joined 4 months back and can already feel so much difference in me whether it is fitness or Agility or Stamina. If you want to be really fit forget about those traditional Gyms where you spend a lot of time looking at the mirror and chit chatting; GSF is your destination as here they mean real business(fitness). Thank you Suraj and team for the great job you are doing. Day doesn't start without a morning at GSF

Ground sport.. Much recommended. "Don't Train on em machines... Become one.." Using your own strength... Concept well installed by GSF.. Trainers keep encouraging u.. While making sure udon't injure yourself. It feels like every-1 has a PT. It perfects what you have... And the results are definite... *as long as u don't lazy about* all round body development guaranteedwith good equipment. P.S : if we're the horse.. They're the jockey... Yelling "faster faster" Keep it up and don't go away GSF... Or else ill become lazy again

At my age I never thought I'll be doing things they make us do @ GSF. I'm more fitter and happy throughout the day. Its a very friendly & charged atmosphere, which makes come back day after day. Am thankful to my wife for pushing me into this & all the PT's for pushing our limits. Highly recommended. "THE place" to workout.

Undoubtedly the finest fitness centre in or around Mangalore city. Suraj and his current team of trainers are hands on with their training. It has been 2 months since I've joined and I see a big difference in my stamina, speed and strength. I personally love the Muay Thai classes but I've tried to make it to every one of the programs to see for myself and figure out what works the best for me. From Weights, Cardio Kickboxing, Speed & Agility, Pilates, Yoga, MMA Circuit etc. There's a lot to pick and choose from. But worry not, if you stick to a time schedule every day, then the work outs will differ every day. You will find that to benefit you greatly as your body adapts to different intensity in workouts and helps you build muscle as well as improve cardio. You can also visit for any specific classes that you like as many times as you want to. But it would be wise to pay heed to your trainers if you want to see improvements. I've been to other run of the mill (big name & branded) gymnasiums in the city. But they generally lacked the attention to detail and the personal touch that GSF has. Kudos to Suraj and his current team of trainers: Prasad, Bharat and Sharat who make it so much fun to work out. They are always on the floor helping you out, ensuring you maintain proper form while working out or assisting you in some other way. As an entrepreneur myself, it's great to see Suraj's enthusiasm for GSF. The optimism that everyone can be healthy and get strong with a consistent approach to fitness rubs off you from the first meeting itself. If you think lifting weights is the only way to be healthy or strong, you couldn't have been further away from the truth. GSF kicks butt! Take their free class and decide for yourself. I put my money down on the very first visit and looking back it was totally worth it! Muay Thai classes are awesome, if you love martial arts, don't miss this!
