NBD Training Assessment

You go to the gym. You have gone for months. And you still cannot say, with a number, whether it is working. Before you buy another programme, have a real coach read what you are actually doing — and tell you what to change.

Why training stalls

Doing workouts is not the same as having a direction.

Effort is almost never the missing piece. What is missing is a plan written for your body, a record of what actually happened, and somebody reading it.

01

A plan nobody wrote for you

A programme off the internet does not know your gym, your schedule, your injuries or your lifts. So you edit it. Two years later you are still editing it, and still not sure it is working.

02

No record of what happened

You remember roughly what you lifted last week. Roughly is not a number. Without the number, this week is a guess built on a guess.

03

Nobody notices when you stop

Miss a session and nothing happens. Miss three and nothing happens. A plan with nobody reading it is a document, not coaching.

None of that is a motivation problem. It is a missing system — and the assessment is where the system starts.

The NBD approach

Assess. Understand. Plan. Train. Track. Adjust.

This is the loop every NBD client runs. It does not end when a block ends — it restarts, with better information. The assessment is step one, and it is the only step you are buying on this page.

  1. Step 01Assess

    Your goal, training experience, what you are doing now, how many days you can honestly train, the equipment you actually have, anything your body is dealing with, and what is stopping you right now.

  2. Step 02Understand

    Within 24 hours a coach reads every answer personally and tells you where you stand, what is holding the result back, and what has to change first.

  3. Step 03Plan

    You get a recommended training path — which NBD block fits, why that one, and what your first four weeks would look like. Then you decide.

  4. Step 04Train

    If you join, your programme arrives in the NBD roadmap one day at a time. Today is open. Everything after today is locked until you reach it.

  5. Step 05Track

    Every set goes in as weight and reps. Skipped days stay unchecked. The record is honest because there is nothing to hide behind.

  6. Step 06Adjust

    At the weekly check-in your coach reads your report next to the real log — including the days that did not happen — and rewrites what comes next.

Step six feeds step three. Every week, for as long as you are coached. See how NBD coaching works in full →

The product itself

What your assessment covers.

About five minutes of honest answers. There are no trick questions and no fitness test — the point is to give a coach enough real detail to say something useful.

What you give

  • Your goal — fat loss, muscle, strength, or not sure yet.
  • Your training experience and what you are currently doing.
  • How many days a week you can genuinely train — not the number you wish you could.
  • The equipment your gym actually has, so nothing is prescribed that you cannot load.
  • Anything your body is dealing with — pain, an old injury, a limitation.
  • What is stopping you right now, in your own words.

What you get back, within 24 hours

  • A real coach reads every answer. Not a form response, not a generated plan.
  • Where you currently stand — read from what you train, how often, and what you lift.
  • What needs to change first, and why that before anything else.
  • A recommended training path — which NBD block fits you, and what your first four weeks would look like.
  • A plain referral if you need one. If something in your history needs a doctor before it needs a coach, you are told that directly.
  • Your ₹499 credit code, valid once on any Train With NBD coaching block.

The assessment is a written review, not a video form check. If you want a lift analysed frame by frame, read what a coach actually looks for in a form-check video and say so in your answers — your coach will tell you whether that is the right next step for you.

The economics, stated plainly

Your ₹499 is not spent twice.

If you go on to train with NBD, the assessment fee comes off the price of your plan. You pay it once, at the start, and it lands back in the thing you actually came for.

You pay ₹499

One time. No subscription, no auto-renewal, nothing recurring.

You get your review + a credit code

A personal code worth ₹499, sent with your recommendation.

You use it on a plan

Valid once on the 4, 8 or 12-week Train With NBD coaching blocks. A real reduction of what you pay.

It is credited, not refunded — the fee is not returned as cash once the review has been carried out. If you decide not to train with NBD, you still keep the review and the recommendation.

What happens if you join

Your programme, one day at a time.

NBD coaching does not arrive as a PDF. It arrives in the NBD roadmap — a web app you open in your phone's browser, with five screens and one job each.

Today

The only screen you open daily

Day N of M, split into Workout, Nutrition and Recovery. Every lift shows what you did last time. You log each set as weight and reps, with a rest timer seeded from the prescription.

Roadmap

The whole block, honestly

Every week as an accordion, every day as a chip: logged, open, today, or locked. Nothing after today can be opened early.

History

Every number you have lifted

By exercise: how many times it was logged, when it last appeared, your best kg, and every set behind it. This is what the next block gets built from.

Progress

Adherence, streak, items logged

Adherence counts only days that have already opened. Locked days are never held against you.

Coach

A message thread with Team NBD

Inside the roadmap, next to the log your coach is reading. Plus direct WhatsApp access on every plan.

And

Nothing to install

It runs in the browser you already have. No app store, no download, no second login to remember.

Where the assessment leads

The NBD coaching blocks.

You do not have to choose one now — that is what the assessment is for. This is what your coach will be choosing between, so you can see where the ₹499 goes. Every block includes a programme written for you, weekly check-ins, direct WhatsApp access and technique correction from your lift videos. What changes is how many times your training gets rewritten.

The upgrade

The Daily Check-In

Not a fourth plan — a private upgrade that runs alongside any block. A message from your coach before every training session, a debrief after it, same-day answers, and a priority queue. Spots stay capped on purpose: daily one-to-one only works while your coach genuinely has room for you.

₹9,999per month

Sold separately, on top of a coaching block. See the Daily Check-In →

Who reads your assessment

Coaches. Not an algorithm.

NBD coaching is delivered by people. A person reads your answers, a person writes your block, and a person reads your log every week.

Head coach

Karman Singh

Founder of NBD Powerlifting and a competing powerlifter. The loop on this page is his: assess, write, log, rewrite.

The team

Qualified coaching team

Programmes are written and reviewed by Level 4 certified coaches — for fat loss, muscle or strength — not by people who got fit once and started selling plans.

The line

A person on WhatsApp

The message you get after your assessment, and every reply after it, comes from a coach who has read your answers and your log.

The gym you train in

Indian commercial gyms, as they are

Your programme is written around the plates, racks and machines your gym actually has — not around equipment you would have to travel to use.

The brand behind it

15,500+ Indians served by NBD

NBD is an Indian strength brand first. The coaching runs on the same standard as the gear.

The method, in the open

We publish how we think

Read the NBD approach to RPE, reps in reserve and hitting a protein target on an Indian vegetarian diet before you spend anything.

The honest filter

This is for you. Or it is not.

₹499 is small, but a wasted assessment is still a wasted assessment. Read both lists before you buy.

Do the assessment if

  • You train, you are putting the work in, and you have stopped seeing change.
  • You have rewritten your own programme for years and cannot tell whether it works.
  • You want fat loss, muscle or strength — and you will log what you actually did.
  • You train in an ordinary commercial gym and want a plan built around what is on that floor.
  • You want a person reading your numbers, not a PDF and not a chatbot.
  • You are about to buy a coaching plan and want to know which one before you spend more.

Do not buy this if

  • You have an acute injury or a medical condition that needs treating. See a doctor first — NBD coaches are not medical professionals.
  • You want a free plan to download once and never speak to anyone.
  • You will not answer honestly. A flattering answer produces a useless recommendation.
  • You expect a result in a fortnight. Blocks are four weeks long for a reason.
  • You want daily motivation. What you get here is daily structure.
  • You are looking for a diet prescription for a diagnosed condition. That is a dietitian's job, not a coach's.

Questions

Before you start.

What exactly am I buying for ₹499?
A written review of your training situation by an NBD coach. You answer around five minutes of questions and within 24 hours a coach reads every answer personally and comes back to you on WhatsApp with a recommended training path — which coaching block suits you, why that one, and what your first four weeks would look like. It is not a sales call and not an auto-generated plan.
Is the ₹499 refundable?
No. It is credited, not refunded. Along with your recommendation you receive a personal credit code worth ₹499, valid once on the 4, 8 or 12-week Train With NBD coaching blocks. It is a real reduction of what you pay for coaching. The fee is not returned as cash once the review has been carried out.
Do I need to be a powerlifter?
No. NBD coaching is for anyone who trains in a gym and wants fat loss, visible muscle or more strength. The assessment asks for your goal, your training history and the equipment your gym has, and the recommendation is written around that. You do not need to know what a block or a training cycle is.
How long does it take, and when do I hear back?
The questions take about five minutes to answer honestly. A coach replies on WhatsApp within 24 hours of receiving your answers.
Am I committing to a coaching plan?
No. The assessment is a standalone product. You get the recommendation and the credit code whether or not you go on to buy a plan, and there is no sales call attached to it.
Is this a medical assessment?
No. NBD coaches are strength coaches, not doctors. This assessment does not diagnose or treat any condition. If anything in your history needs a doctor before it needs a coach, you will be told that plainly and asked to get cleared first.
Does anything get shipped to me?
No. This is a coaching service, not a physical product. Nothing is shipped, there is no delivery charge and no address is needed. Everything is delivered on WhatsApp and in the NBD roadmap in your phone's browser.
Which coaching plan will I be recommended?
That is what the assessment decides. As a guide: the 4-week block is one written block; the 8-week block is two, with the second written from the first; the 12-week block is three, rewritten every four weeks with deload and recovery planned in. Your coach tells you which one fits your goal, your training days and your history, and why.
How is my training tracked once I start?
In the NBD roadmap, a web app you log into from your phone's browser. Each day shows your workout, nutrition and recovery items. For each lift you log every set as weight and reps; nutrition and recovery items are tap-to-complete. Everything you log lands in your History, by exercise, and your coach reads it.
