Functional Fitness Box · Kharadi, Pune

Hit Hard.
Scale Smart.
Repeat.

Cinderblock is a raw, coached functional-fitness box. Every session is a whiteboard workout that hits hard on the clock — and scales, honestly, to whoever walks through the roll-up door. Day one or year five.

Why the block

A box, not a gym floor

We opened Cinderblock in a stripped-back warehouse off Mundhwa–Kharadi Road because Pune had plenty of mirrors and not enough places to actually get capable. No machines lined up in rows. Just a rig, real barbells, a wall for wall-balls, and a coach who knows your name and your last score.

The whiteboard is the boss. One workout, one clock, one room full of people chasing the same thing at completely different levels — and a coach whose whole job is to scale the work so it fits you today. That's the promise: it hits hard, and it fits anyone.

  • 01Coached, always. Every class is led. You never guess, you never lift alone.
  • 02Scaled, honestly. Rx, Scaled or Foundations — same stimulus, your capacity.
  • 03Measured, weekly. Scores on the board so progress is a number, not a vibe.

Pick your poison

Eight formats, one whiteboard philosophy. Every one is coached, capped and scalable — walk into any of them on day one.

AMRAP

Grind Room

Pure conditioning — as many rounds as possible against a hard clock. Big engine builder, zero standing around.

45 min · Intermediate+

Structured squat, press and pull cycles with real percentages. Get technically strong under a coach who watches every rep.

60 min · All levels
EMOM

Lunchbreak EMOM

Thirty tight minutes, every-minute-on-the-minute. In, sweaty, out — built for the Kharadi work crowd.

Rohan Deshpande

On the board

Scores that stuck

Real members, real numbers. Ask them at the water cooler — they never shut up about it.

“
Walked in unable to do a single pull-up. Six months later I strung together fifteen in a WOD. The scaling was never a shortcut — it was a ladder.

I came for weight loss and stayed for the barbell. Down 11 kilos, deadlifting double bodyweight, and I actually look forward to 6am now. Never thought I'd say that.

The Engine Room got me a marathon PB I chased for three years. Coaches program like they mean it, and the whole room celebrates when you hit a number. That's rare.
