About Monkeyflag
A neighbourhood gym with serious standards.
We opened the doors in 2017 because Pune needed a gym that took coaching seriously. Years later, we still coach every session.
Our story
Built by coaches, for people who want to move better.
Monkeyflag started as a corner of a futsal arena with two barbells, a pull-up rig, and a stubborn belief: most people don't need a bigger gym — they need better coaching.
We built this place around the training we wanted for ourselves.
- Coaches on the floor, every session. No phone-scrollers at the front desk pretending to supervise.
- Programming you can trust. Real periodisation, not a random WOD from the internet.
- A room full of people who show up. Accountability is free here.

The team on the floor.
You'll see us every session — coaching, lifting alongside you, and occasionally yelling at you to finish the set.
