Institute of Biomechanics and Nutrition Science

The Science Behind Every Training Decision
Finally Explained

Seven complete modules covering biomechanics, blood work interpretation, nutrition science, exercise physiology, rehabilitation protocols, research methodology, and business development, all taught by PhD’s, MSc nutritionists, licensed physiotherapists, and medical doctors.

Institute of Biomechanics and Nutrition Science

Getting Certified Doesn't Make You Competent

Your certification taught you to pass an exam, not to think like a coach. It reduced nutrition to calories in, calories out. It skipped blood work entirely. It never showed you how to read a research paper. Biomechanics was surface-level, just enough to name the muscles. And injury management? Refer out and hope for the best. IOBN fills the gap. We provide you in-depth understanding of everything.

Who the Institute of Biomechanics & Nutrition Science Is Designed For

The Trainer Who's Tired of Googling

You have clients. But every unusual question sends you to Google. Every complex case makes you second-guess yourself. IOBN replaces guesswork with actual understanding.

The Beginner Who Refuses Shortcuts

You're new to this. But you've seen enough confident-sounding trainers who can't explain why they do what they do. You want real foundations. Not weekend certification material.

The Certified Trainer Knows There's More

You passed ACE/NASM/ISSA. You got the certificate. But you know something's missing. The depth was never there. IOBN fills the gaps your certification left behind.

Academic Looking for Real-World Application

You have a strong theoretical background, but lack hands-on exposure to exercise tutorials, workout programming, and diet planning. IOBN turns theory into applied coaching skills.

Kashish Gupta

Founder & Lead Instructor
Modules: Biomechanics | Business & Marketing

What He Teaches:

Why Learn from Kashish: His unique position as both academic educator and successful content creator means you get theory that’s been tested in real-world application. He doesn’t just teach concepts, he shows you how to apply them and build a career around evidence-based practice.

Tejas Rajaputhran

Nutrition Science module
MSc Sports Nutrition

Tejas Rajaputhran has a  Master’s degree in Sports Nutrition, specializing in evidence-based nutritional strategies for performance and body composition optimization.

What He Teaches:

Why Learn from Tejas: His MSc background means you’re learning nutrition science at an academic level, but his practical experience ensures everything translates to real client application. He teaches you to design nutrition strategies based on metabolic principles, not diet trends.

Geoff Futch

Exercise Physiology & Research Methodology module
PhD Candidate in Exercise Physiology

Geoff Futch is a PhD candidate in Exercise Physiology with extensive research experience in muscle physiology, cardiovascular adaptations, and training methodology. He brings cutting-edge research knowledge directly from academic laboratories to practical fitness education.

What He Teaches:

Why Learn from Geoff: As a PhD candidate actively conducting research, Geoff teaches the most current understanding of exercise physiology, not outdated textbook knowledge. He’s trained in the rigorous methodology that produces the research you read, making him uniquely qualified to teach you how to evaluate and apply scientific evidence.

Dr. Priyanka Sehrawat

Blood Work Interpretation module
MD Medicine, DM Neurology (AIIMS Delhi)

Dr. Priyanka Sehrawat is a practicing physician with an MD in Medicine and a DM in Neurology from AIIMS Delhi, one of India’s most prestigious medical institutions. She brings clinical medical expertise to fitness education, teaching trainers and coaches to interpret laboratory results like medical professionals.

What She Teaches:

Why Learn from Dr. Priyanka: Most fitness professionals never learn to read blood work, forcing them to refer clients out or make uninformed recommendations. Dr. Priyanka teaches you to interpret lab results.

Dr. Dhairya

Rehabilitation Module
Bachelor of Physiotherapy

Dr. Dhairya is a licensed physiotherapist. With clinical experience treating diverse patient populations, he brings evidence-based rehabilitation protocols to fitness professionals.

What He Teaches:

Why Learn from Dr. Dhairya: Most trainers panic when clients have pain or injuries, either referring them out immediately or pushing through recklessly. Dr. Dhairya teaches you to understand injury mechanics and design intelligent rehabilitation protocols, turning you from a trainer who avoids problems into one who solves them.

Dr. Gerard McMahon

Guest Lecturer
PhD in Sport and Exercise Science

Dr. Gerard McMahon is a Lecturer in Exercise Physiology at Ulster University (UK), with 15+ years of research on how resistance training affects muscles and tendons at the tissue level. He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, an accredited Performance Scientist, and teaches across BSc, MSc Strength & Conditioning, and MSc Sports Medicine programs.

What He Teaches:

Why Learn from Dr. Gerard McMahon: Everyone is talking about lengthened partials, but very few actually understand the research behind it. Dr. McMahon has spent over 15 years studying exactly this how manipulating muscle length and range of motion during resistance training changes hypertrophy, neuromuscular activation, and tendon properties. He’s published original research on this topic, not just read about it. You’re learning directly from someone who helped build the science, not someone who discovered it on Instagram.

Juan Samudio

Juan Samudio

Muscle Biology & Hypertrophy module
He is doing his Biomedical Engineering from Florida State University

Juan Samudio is a coach focused on biomechanics and muscle biology. He is known for translating complex, often-misunderstood topics in muscle physiology into practical, evidence-based training guidance.

Why Learn from Juan: Juan breaks down the science of how muscles grow and adapt, turning commonly misunderstood hypertrophy concepts into clear, evidence-based guidance you can apply directly to training.
