About us

Co-founder of The Scientific Athlete

At The Scientific Athlete, we coach with one simple principle: performance is built, not guessed. Founded by Prathviraj and Anant, both national-level road cyclists with multiple state championships and top-10 national finishes, we combine competitive experience with scientific precision.

With formal qualifications in Exercise Physiology and hands-on experience at the Sports Authority of India (SAI), we bring both lab knowledge and field-tested insight to every training plan.

Whether it’s structured coaching for cyclists and runners, strength training, nutrition guidance, or equipment support, our approach is science-heavy, with just the right amount of personalization, focused on building sustainable, measurable progress.

Based in Bhopal and Chennai, we coach athletes across India, from beginners chasing their first milestones to experienced competitors refining their edge.

At The Scientific Athlete,
we simplify endurance performance for all.
