Amy Osborne PT & Online Coach
Hi! I'm Amy, a fully qualified Personal Trainer based in Windsor.
I pride myself in helping women achieve the body and ultimately, the confidence they are longing for whilst shaping their knowledge and mindset in order to stay on track long term!

How many time over the last few years have you lost weight only to gain it back again?
Maybe because every time you try to lose weight.. you have to lost it as fast as possible?
Fat loss isnโt a race!
Committing to sustainable fat loss is committing to anything from 3 months to 1 year (depending on your starting point)..
This in the grand scheme of 80+ years of your life is not very much .. particularly if you only have to do it once!
Now add up the times youโve lost weight or even just tried and how long youโve looked the same or reverted back..
Now write that number down and compare it to the 6 months - 1 year one off (bearing in mind that every month of this journey youโll look/feel better and better..)
There are no shortcuts to sustainable fat loss .. and once you understand that - youโll make lasting progress!
If you need help on HOW to do this and have accountability along the way.. DM me or click the link in my bio and letโs see if youโre the right fit for the program!

Just a handful of transformations to give you a flavour of what coaching is about..
When I say โtransformationโ , this doesnโt just refer to the aesthetic but everything..
Coaching with me we go โALL INโ .. itโs about habit stacking, movement outside of the gym, training properly in the gym (although not necessary), nutrition, daily wins, managing social events, the list goes on..
But my coaching FITS around your lifestyle and not your lifestyle fits around it..
The ultimate goal is that I give you the knowledge & tools, I support you as much as I can, when you need it - to the point where you no longer need me anymore and you can sustain it for the foreseeable future.. ๐
If you want results like these, or youโre on the fence about coaching .. DM me the word โRESULTSโ and letโs see if weโre the right fit!
๐
๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐..
My aim from now until the end of the year (and beyond) is to help as many people as possible - and I donโt mean just 1-1 clients .. I mean with free content ..
But why?
Because frankly Iโm frustrated for you.. there is so much misinformation and coaches feeding you BS that youโre probably in a cycle of confusion .. when all you want to do is lose weight!!
Well Iโm here to make fat loss easier .. strip it down.. show you how simple it is!
And yes.. if you need more than this then my DMs are always open .. but for now - take it and run!
Save, share, follow for more! โ๏ธ

๐ธ dump from a wedding weekend - mostly of me with a drink (or two)..
I preach balance to all of my clients and those who follow me and I wouldnโt be leading by example if I didnโt practice what I preach..
I bloody love a wedding and equally love a good reason to have a few cocktails and let my hair down (literally) once in a while - after all itโs not often I step out of gym or riding gear ๐
Did I feel a bit done in the next day? Yes
Do I regret it? No
Do I feel bad about it? No
Do I change anything this week? No ..
I go back to normal and enjoy the memories ๐ฅฐ
All in all .. balance is key.
Consistency over perfection every time ๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ค
This is 6 weeks of progress which involved a holiday, weekends away, dinners out .. all on top of an already busy lifestyle!
- 3.3kg down
- Holiday
- Dinners out/ social events
This client has a great knowledge of health and exercise but needed a bit of refinement with her nutrition in order to push the needle forwards and have a macro/nutrition plan tailored to her body.
Diet wise, she is vegetarian so the main focus is making sure sheโs getting enough protein in and hitting her targets whilst putting her into a deficit that worked with her lifestyle and managing life events - which sheโs doing brilliantly!
A few tweaks as we go and progress is consistent ๐
Excellent work - watch this space!
If youโre struggling to push the needle forwards with your fat loss and fitting it WITH your lifestyle .. DM me and letโs get your progress underway!
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐
Stop stressing about calories burned - fitness watches only need totally be 30% accurate to pass so the likelihood is what youโre seeing is not correct and itโs a waste of your time and energy worrying about it.
Focus on being as active as you can and how you FEEL.
โโโโ-
What will matter FAR more that calories burned is the amount you consume
โโโโโ-
No you should NOT be losing weight faster - if youโre losing weight rapidly, youโre almost certainly not going to sustain in long term and fall into the yo-yo cycle
โโโโโ-
Quality workouts will always be more important & effective than quantity done.
So lift heavy, work effectively and progressively overload on each session.
โโโโ
We all get off track from time to time but itโs your response to it that matters more and how long it takes.
Donโt over restrict & punish yourself, follow it up with going back to where you left off the very next meal and stay consistent.. donโt let it turn into more off track, or over restricting which will equal a binge.
โโโโโ-
Your nutrition & non planned activity will equate to far more of your deficit than how many times you do โkillerโ workouts .. you canโt out train a bad diet so focus on these two first and foremost.

Firstly - cutest photo-bomber ๐
Someone recently asked me if they should be doing โbelly fat workoutsโ in order to get abs..
If youโve seen my content then youโll know that you canโt spot target fat loss .. so you can do as many a workouts as you like but if youโre not in a calorie deficit.. fat loss will not occur.
Building muscle in your abs will require training them with purpose - I train abs as a separate day workout.
I used to have minimal muscle in my mid section so decided to change that! This required training them as a separate muscle group and progressively overloading over time.
HOWEVER
If your nutrition is not in alignment with your training and your goals - youโll struggle to โseeโ the muscle youโve built with definition. Having and will require a certain level of body composition in order to expose them (low body fat, lean muscle) which again will be acquired through your nutrition ..
As the saying goes.. โAbs are built in the kitchenโ ..
If you need help with aligning your nutrition with your goals and maximising the results you want.. DM me and Iโll be happy to help!

Physiques are built in the kitchen.. hear me out ..
Someone recently asked me how to get abs and should they be doing โbelly fat workoutsโ..
If youโve seen any of my content then youโll know that you canโt spot target belly fat - but you can train your abs like any other muscle group (I train them once a week as a separate training day) .. this will increase strength and build lean muscle if youโre progressively overloading (A year ago I had a very little abdominal muscle compared to now so I made it my mission to change this..)
HOWEVER
In order to have your abs visible, your body composition needs to be optimal (lower body fat with lean muscle) and this will come from your nutrition..
As the saying goes.. โAbs are built in the kitchenโ.
If you need help in transforming your physique and have no idea how to adapt your nutrition to complement it, DM me and Iโd be happy to help!

Itโs been a busy old month !
4 trips to Devon to guide our riding events, Albusโ first trip to the beach, shooting, managed to stay on top of training.. the list continues.. !

In January this client began her journey wanting to know/understand what to do in the gym in order to reach her goals .. as she was just doing the same thing week in week out and not seeing great changes.
Her goals:
- Reduce body fat
- Increase muscle tone & definition
- Improve all round physique to become happier with how she looks
- Improve gym confidence/knowledge
*note.. she was reluctant at the start to lift any heavier than she was currently doing & had lack of confidence in some exercises due to prior hip injury!*
So we made a plan that was specific to her goals;
- replied ranges were varied
- exercises were specific and bespoke
- Progression expectations were laid out & each mini goal met was celebrated each week
- Every phase was/is being monitored and tweaked so progressions is still flying
The current state of play:
- Body fat reduced
- Definition & muscle tone popping
- HUGE strength increases!
- Confidence in own ability & hip sky rocketed
- New drive to keep progressing
- New confidence in the way she looks and feels about her body
- Less worry around lifting heavier
Iโm extremely excited about how far she has come so far and the direction we are taking it!!
Watch this space!!
โโโโโโ
If you find yourself doing the same thing and not really seeing any changes towards your goals then you may need a plan that is designed in alignment with you!!
DM me and Iโd be happy to talk this through ๐

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐
Rebecca had an INCREDIBLE transformation - both in body, mind & lifestyle! Iโll let the post speak for itself โฆ
The most important part of this is that she is 1 year in and easily maintaining her weight without me and has the knowledge and know-how to do so!
None of this was with restriction, crazy exercise or cutting out anything she enjoys - it was about working WITH what she enjoys, what her body needs and managing this all around a busy work life.
I still check in on her and vice versa if she needs a bit of guidance but for the most part sheโs absolutely smashing it!
Nearly 20 KG down and more confidence and happy in herself - this is how every woman should feel!
Itโs my mission in life to transform the lives of women who feel like this and turn them into the woman they ARE and deserve to show up as!
So if youโre sick of how you look, tired of feeling uncomfortable in photos or clothes.. maybe you have your own wedding coming up?
Or simply want to become the woman you desperately want to be - DM me and I would love to chat with you ๐ฅฐ

Feeling stuck on your path to progress?ย What if small wins could lead to massive changes?ย
The snowball effect is a simple approach to FAST action. How?
By prioritising progress, no matter how big or small.
Think of your goal as a snowball at the top of a hill...ย
Initially, your goal is just an idea, a small snowball ball that needs a gentle push to start moving down the hillโฆ
But the โgentle pushโ is the start of something bigโฆ
Each step builds your experience and confidence, growing the snowball. And before you know itย ..
Youโve formed a new habit and the ball is rolling at flying speeds.
Example:
Letโs say you walk for just ten minutes a day. Simple, right?
Over the course of a year, your ten minutes a day stacks to overย 60 hoursย of health boosting exerciseโฆ ย
By simply commiting to starting with ten minutes per day!
The trick is to get the ball rolling with something easy, and build bigger from there.
Iโmย Amy and I create content to help live happier and fitter lives.ย
This approach is something I use with all of my clients because habits are the foundation of creating the lifestyle you need to achieve your goals and must be approached sustainably.
Do you have need help to build better habits?

The sun is out, you've got a long weekend.. it's normal to over indulge and fall off the band wagon a bit!
So here are 5 things to do before starting a fresh week.
๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ < ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
Some lunch Inspo..
All High protein, 20-25 mins preparation so no excuse for meal prep!
~ Chicken Pesto Bagel
~ Chicken Caprese Pasta Salad
~ Crispy BBQ Chicken Wrap
~ Tuna Omelette with fruit salad
Follow for more meal ideas - next up: Snacks!

It's normal to find it hard to begin with! You're changing your routine .. trying to start something new which is upsetting your current balance.
This is a pivotal time and will set the course for what's to come.. and this is where having a coach to help you structure your schedule and give you accountability can be invaluable.
Persevere until a point that these changes start to become habit..
Eg. Walking every morning becomes normal and when you miss it for a day you notice how you don't feel as good..
Eg. Fall in love with the process ๐
Write down a list of your 'why's' ..
Why do you want to change the way you look?
What is it that makes you feel bad about yourself currently,m
That way when you feel weak or like you're falling back to bad habits.. you can remind yourself of these reasons and that you're doing the right thing by pushing through ..

My clients know that I take sleep seriously .. especially as most of us don't prioritize it!.. but this is one of the FUNDAMENTALS when us comes to making progress..
Firstly.. what is the optimum?
Most adults need between 7.5-8.5 hours of quality sleep in order to function optimally.
It is during this time that the real recovery happens, through protein synthesis and human growth hormone release.
It also gives your brain the chance to refresh and maintain normal function.
Recovery, performance, muscle growth and brain function will take a backward step if one does not prioritize sleep, so if you're feeling unmotivated, short on energy or hitting a plateau with your program. .. have a think about how much good quality sleep you are getting!
Personally I sleep at the LATEST 10.00pm during the week as I have early starts and I will always notice if I go over even by half an hour when it comes to how I feel and my training the day after.
So set yourself an actionable task this week to improve your night time routine.. set yourself a time you will be switching the lights off (and putting your phone away!!) and then an hour before then give yourself time to unwind.. dim the lights, relax, switch off - your body and progress will thank you for it!
If you have a fitness goal - all factors must be aligned!

It's time to break free from the thinking that cardio equates to fat loss and weight training equates to building muscle and weight gain.
It's simply the case.
While doing cardio can help your fat-loss goals, in a lot of ways weight training is more effective and will also help shape your physique.
While lifting weights can help you build muscle mass, you need to be in a fairly sufficient surplus of food, shifting weights with purpose & progressively overloading regularly.. but even then, particularly as a female with lower levels of testosterone, it's pretty hard to build that kind of muscle even over a long period of time.
I'm not saying cardio is bad, it's a key part of your health and there's an important place for it, but why not take it outdoors where you can enjoy nature. A combination of both will certainly amplify your achievements !
My guess is that you jump on a cardio machine because you're not sure what else to do & the thought of being amongst the men is a scary one.. am I right?
If yes, DM me and let me help rectify this! The results you're after are well within reach with a little guidance ๐ฅฐ
If any of one these are your goal, then lifting weights will only help you!
Fat loss
Changing your physique - better legs, killer b***y!

Confidence
Being a boss bitch!

When your passion is your career, you never have to work a day in your life.
My job is not just about the physical changes made to a client's body.. it's so much more than that.
It's about the changes you make to their mindset, their habits, their relationship with food... all in all - their LIFE.
I loveee my job and comments like these just fuel my fire! I'm a Sagi after all!

Eating triggers can be sneaky, creeping up on you after a long, stressful day at work and don't only prey on negative feelings of stress/ boredom but also moments of celebration and joy! Either way, it's a form of comfort. .
In most cases, the reason we predominantly go for foods high inย calorie density, is physiological. Food, especially sugar and carbs, set off a release of endorphins, giving you a sense of feeling complete and feeling good.
But the feel-good chemicals donโt last forever.
In fact, often they're followed with crippling guilt & self hate, leading you to over restrict the following day.. and so, the BINGE-RESTRICT cycle repeats itself.
If you find yourself wanting to order one of everything off ubereats or jump into the restaurant buffet, take a look at the bigger picture. Why?
Are you stressed/anxious? Write this down the negatives from the day.
Are you legit hungry? Write down everything you ate that day.. The real culprit might be your restrictive eating patterns.
Are you bored? Ask yourself if you're just looking for something to preoccupy yourself if you're feeling alone.
Are you just happy to be around friends & overwhelmed by the menu?
Whatever the case, only you have the power to put the pizza down.
Once you have identified the reason(s) .. then you can decide how to manage the situation.
Stressed/sad.. why not instead have things in your fridge which are nutrient high, low calorie which will give you the same comfort without the guilt?
Hungry.. get yourself a fullfilling meal based around a protein of your choice which will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
Boredom.. quickly give yourself a task you know you've been putting off ! Or chose one of self care that will redirect your attention. Eg. Paint your nails. Tidy up.
Social gathering/meal.. prepare ! Look ahead at the menu and plan what you're going to eat so you don't give in to the temptation!
My clients have overcome their complicated relationships with food through the support and knowledge I continue to give them.
If you would like to change your relationship with food and achieve balance in your life, DM me ๐ฅฐ

Meal prep can seem like a right faffff.. but it's sooo worth the time !! Especially if, like me, you're constantly on the go.
Ignore the lack of excitement in the picture I've shared.. that was taken during prep so it was never going to be anywhere near gourmet .
Anyway..
Tips to consider:
~ Firstly, get the right containers, which are a) big enough b) secure enough and c) suitable for freezing and being microwaved.
~ Write down your meals so you know exactly what to put on your shopping list and don't forget anything.
~ Use frozen fruit & veggies - this will cut down on prep time and save ya ยฃยฃ.
~Get yourself a whole rotisserie chicken and use in several meals
~ Use your appliances: your Instant Pot, slow cooker and rice cookers can free up your hands (and your mind) so you can focus on other things
~ Go for simple ingredients which you can repurpose in different ways for different meals.
You'll thank yourself later..

Maybe you don't know where to start? Or how to find the motivation??
Here are some things that may help you take that first step:
1. Delete Guilt - no one set a rule that you have to start Jan 1st.. it's your life, your goal, your body = your decision! If you want a few more weeks chilling.. you do you !
2. Find your why - identify WHAT your goal is .. lose weight to fit a dress, gokiday, feel better about yourself in a bikini etc.. focus on this and remember you're only doing this for YOURSELF.
3. Make it easy - allow it to fit easily into your life. Inconvenience in the enemy of coherence !
4. Get a cheer squad - find friends and family that will support you and help you stay on track!
5. Get help - Find yourself a coach who understands your goals so you have the guesswork taken out !
6. Make it fun - spend some time exploring the kind of exercise YOU enjoy!!
7. Reward yourself - set mini goals and give yourself a pat on the back!!
DM me if you been help on your journey this year !! ๐ฅฐ
