About Vastaad
Bringing Traditional Indian Training into Modern Fitness.
VASTAAD®️ began with a simple question: “Why are India's traditional training tools still underrepresented in the modern fitness world?”
As a Strength & Conditioning Coach, I have always been interested in understanding the science, history, and evolution of strength training and fitness equipment.
While reading about the history and evolution of strength-training equipment such as dumbbells and barbells, I came across references to traditional training tools such as the Mudgal, Gada, and Indian Clubs.
This sparked my curiosity to explore these traditional methods more deeply. For generations, tools such as the Mudgal and Gada have been associated with Indian Akhadas, wrestlers, and traditional physical training.
Indian club-swinging practices also attracted attention outside India. During the 19th century, forms of Indian Club training were adopted and developed within British physical training systems and later became popular in Europe and the United States.
This raised an important question
“If the world recognised the value of these traditional training methods, why shouldn't we bring our own training heritage back into modern fitness?”
That thought became the foundation of VASTAAD®️.
A word for a master, teacher, coach — someone highly skilled in their craft.
In traditional Indian Akhada culture, the word “Vastaad” is commonly associated with a master, teacher, coach, or someone highly skilled in their craft.
The name therefore represents the values behind the brand — knowledge, training, discipline, strength, skill, and the Guru–Shishya tradition.
The purpose of VASTAAD®️ is not simply to sell equipment — it's to make sure it's used well.
The purpose of VASTAAD®️ is not simply to sell traditional fitness equipment such as Mudgals, Gadas, Indian Clubs, and Push-Up Pattis.
We believe that providing the right training tool should also include helping people understand how to use it correctly and effectively.
That is why VASTAAD®️ introduced the concept of providing QR Code-based training information with its products. By scanning the QR Code, users can access exercise demonstrations, training guidance, and information designed to help them better understand and use the equipment.
VASTAAD®️ represents the meeting point of Tradition, Knowledge, and Modern Training.
Our purpose is to reintroduce traditional Indian training tools to a new generation, explain their practical application, and connect India's traditional training heritage with modern Strength & Conditioning and Functional Training principles.
From shaping and balancing to the final check before it leaves the workshop — here's a look at the hands and process behind every tool.
Seasoned timber, turned and shaped for balance before anything else.
Sanded, oiled, and grip-tested by hand before anything ships.
Every piece weighed, inspected, and packed for the journey to you.
“Every Vastaad tool is shaped by hand, tested by practice, and finished with intent.”
Tradition carried forward by the people who live it.
