Before you book.
Do I need to have had osteopathic treatment with Amina first?
No. You can book coaching independently. Some clients come for coaching having never had osteopathy; others use both services together. Amina will carry out an initial assessment at the start of coaching to understand your movement and history regardless of whether you have had treatment with her before.
What equipment do I need?
This depends on your programme. Amina designs around what you have access to. A gym membership is not required; many clients work from home with minimal equipment. If you have access to a gym, she will make use of that. The assessment will clarify what makes sense for you.
How often do coaching sessions take place?
This varies depending on your goals and schedule. Some clients meet fortnightly; others prefer monthly check-ins with independent work in between. Amina will suggest a frequency that makes sense for where you are and what you are working towards.
I have never lifted weights before. Is this suitable for me?
Yes. Amina works with women at all levels, including those who are entirely new to structured exercise. Starting from scratch is a completely normal and very workable starting point. The programme will be built to meet you exactly where you are.
How is coaching with Amina different from a standard personal trainer?
Amina holds both a YMCA Level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing and Personal Training and a Master of Osteopathy degree, GOsC registered. That clinical background means she understands injury, pain, and how the musculoskeletal system works at a level that goes beyond standard personal training. If something hurts or does not feel right during your programming, she can assess it properly rather than guessing.
Is coaching in-person or online?
Both. Sessions can take place in person in Chelsea SW10 or online by video call, whichever suits you better. The exact clinic location is provided when you book.
Is coaching women-only?
Yes. Osteoxfit is a women-only practice, and that applies to fitness and strength coaching as well as osteopathy.
