Client Reviews
Alan Peter
Deckline sir is the best when it comes to strength and conditioning. I can’t think of a better person who has trained me to improve my strength as a tennis player. He has also worked with my students and has given results which are nothing short of exceptional. I’m very fortunate to have trained with him, and will always recommend my students to him as well
Akhilesh Moktali
I was a 17yo badminton player when I first met and trained under Deckline sir. His knowledge and more importantly his application of it in training was fantastic and ahead of its time almost.
Now I’m a 28yo surgeon, with a decent amount of medical expertise, and I can certify that this man knows what he’s doing extremely well. I suffered a left ACL tear in December 23 so I started my rehab with sir. (I had already restarted training with sir since June 23) Jan 24 I got married. I danced on stage for about 2 hours, never felt a thing. My legs had never been stronger. I was able to operate for hours, go to gym as usual, jog and cycle comfortably.
I underwent surgery for my ACL in March 24. My treating doctor told me that I did not have much muscle wasting and that is all thanks to Deckline sir. Currently restarting my rehab with him now. Hoping to get back on court and to full fitness soon. Luckily, I know I’m in great hands ✨
Akilandeswari Mahalingam
We were looking for a S& C training person who would understand the requirements for a specific sport. Who would understand the athlete well, give personalised attention, athlete requirement specific training and not just sport specific. All this and at the same time keeping the athlete injury free. My daughter is a National medallist in swimming and has been training with Deckline and his team of coaches for the past 1 year and we are happy with the way she is improving and also how as an athlete he has helped her to take responsibility of her performance, making her think how her body reacts to certain training methods.
The unique thing about him is, he involves the athletes and has healthy discussion so that they can improve.
Never seen my daughter so happy after a gym session till we met him..
Really happy to have him as her S&C coach.🙂🙂🙂
Manjunath Nallappa
My both kids were in competitive sports and did strengthening classes under his supervision for quite some time. The approach was to keep them injury free and same time getting professional classes that required for the sport. He and his team are thorough professionals and really helped to manage this well.

I’ve been working with Deckline sir for my tennis fitness for many years. I can definitely say that I’m at my fittest, strongest and lightest.
You can be assured that there is enough knowledge and experience in him to guide you to train right and waste less time in guessing what works.
Annanya Pravin
I have known Deckline Sir for the past 7 years and I’m currently training under him for Strength and Conditioning. He has helped me immensely with recovering from a severe ankle injury earlier, and now working on improving my physical fitness and strength. He has been a huge guiding factor for me in many different aspects! I find Deckline Sir’s training style very engaging & keeps me on path of continuous learning & improvement. I really enjoy training under him!
Rakshith Shetty
Deckline sir is a great strength and conditioning trainer . Loads of knowledge about how an athlete’s body works and how to get performance out of it .He can also be a great mentor for you whenever you need . Me being a swimmer , I needed a dryland training designed specifically for my sport . He has helped me to come out of injury and get back to my best shape and performance within a year! Would recommend him to anyone who is really serious about his/her career in sports.
sunaina manjunath
I’m a national swimmer and have trained under Deckline sir for about 4 years. He’s one of the finest professional fitness trainer I’ve come across and certainly bought out the best performance in me. His training methods are very effective as he has a balance of giving tough workouts but not to the point that it causes injuries. It’s been a great pleasure working with Deckline sir who motivated and encouraged me to do my very best at the pool!
Sowgandhika Gowda
My son is an athlete, a national medalist and my daughter a swimmer also a national medalist trained under Deckline and I believe that he is one of the most experienced and committed trainer around. He has a vast knowledge of his profession. All the trainers under him are professional, friendly , understanding and encouraging at all times. Most of all Deckline believes in injury free workouts.
Just before any big event he mentally
Prepares the kids to perform at their best ability.
Manjusha Kanwar
Deckline is one of the best trainers in India and am truly blessed to have him as my friend, guide & trainer. He is One of the best strength & conditioning coaches! He knows exactly how much to load (strength training) and how to off load also, & that’s very imp to staying injury free. The best part of Deckline is his total professionalism. He treats all his students with so much respect and passionately trains every one of them, be it the current lots of sportspersons to the normal office goers, dekline always gives equal respect and never judges anyone. I really wish I would have had him as my trainer in my playing days, it would definitely have made a difference in my game.
shubha lalith
My daughter,a professional swimmer by passion and practice, has been a student of Mr Deckline Leitao from 2years now. She incurred a major shoulder injury and we were staring at a surgery at the age of 13yrs. We took the decision to go the non surgical way. During this course, sir was a constant support for all the help needed right from heading to the best of shoulder specialists in the city to being an agony aunt to our emotional breakdowns.Now that we have got past that stage, makes us realise it would have been lot tougher if sir wasn’t around for us.
He is a thorough professional who emotionally invests in each and every student of his. All the workout sessions are planned around the athletes physique, ability , age and so on. He foresees the requirement for a better performance and curates the training accordingly. He wants all his students to be healthy physically and mentally.
He is the most humble and down-to-earth person you can come across inspite of all his well deserved achievements. He is always there for his students and can be approached anytime without a forethought. Getting my daughter under Deckline sir and Shrikanth sir has been one of best decisions as parents for us.

Our daughter started her gym workouts second week of April. She had 6 weeks to train before the senior state swimming competition. She had not been training before April for 6 months due the exams.
Deckline sir’s one on one quality training made her ready for the state meet where she clocked her new personal best in 50m & 100m Backstroke, 50m Freestyle & almost came close to her 200m Backstroke best time.
Thank you so much Deckline sir & team for all your support!
