An athlete first, Chelston Pinto’s journey into coaching and entrepreneurship was shaped by personal experience. While competing, he recognized a critical gap, athletes lacked a single space where they could train, rehab, and recover seamlessly. This realization led to the creation of Rapid Sport Fitness (RSF), a facility built to serve athletes of all levels, across all sports.

At RSF, Chelston champions a training philosophy that prioritizes efficiency, helping athletes reach peak performance with the minimum effective dose of work. His approach is rooted in sustainability, ensuring that training is both effective and enjoyable, fostering long-term commitment to the process.

A career-defining injury in 2015 forced Chelston to rethink his future in professional sports. Realizing he couldn’t be confined to a desk job, he dedicated himself to learning, coaching, and strength & conditioning. What started as a personal mission soon evolved into a full-fledged training ecosystem that now supports athletes at every stage of their journey, from youth development to elite performance.

Understanding firsthand the setbacks that injuries bring, Chelston has built RSF’s rehab program to be more than just a recovery process—it’s a support system. The goal is to guide athletes through their comeback, ensuring they return to their sport stronger and more resilient.

Success in sports isn’t just about physical ability, it’s about mindset, discipline, and balance. While elite athletes sometimes need to push past limits, Chelston believes sustainability should always take precedence, particularly for young athletes. His approach integrates communication across coaching teams, ensuring performance goals align with long-term well-being.

RSF is expanding beyond Bangalore, with a vision to train and develop athletes from as young as two years old, fostering motor skills and cognitive development alongside physical training. Additionally, Chelston is passionate about education, his apprenticeship program has already placed numerous strength & conditioning coaches and physiotherapists, with plans to broaden its reach in the future.

Through RSF, Chelston Pinto is redefining athlete development, one smart, sustainable step at a time.
