About Purnima
From Code to Core Strength – My Journey :) I started my career as a software developer, spending long hours behind a desk. While I enjoyed the challenge of coding, I realized my true passion was elsewhere — in fitness, health, and personal transformation. Over the years, I transitioned into becoming an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, driven by the desire to help others experience the same positive changes that fitness brought into my life. My practice goes beyond workouts. As a Vipassana meditator, I’ve learned how deeply the mind and body are connected. Movement isn’t just about burning calories — it’s about releasing stress, regaining energy, and building clarity. Fitness for me is as much about mental strength as it is about physical progress. When you train with me, you don’t just get structured workouts and progress charts — you gain a partner who understands discipline, resilience, and the joy of small, consistent steps. I believe everyone can unlock their potential, and I’m here to guide you in building not only a healthier body but also a calmer, stronger mindset.

Every program is personalised to your goals, fitness level, lifestyle, movement quality, and any physical limitations. Whether your goal is fat loss, strength, better posture, improved flexibility, or simply feeling healthier, your training plan is designed specifically for you.
How We Begin
Every new client starts with a 45-minute consultation (₹1200).
During this session, we will:
- Understand your goals and expectations.
- Discuss your medical history, injuries, pain, and lifestyle.
- Assess your posture and movement patterns.
- Identify strength, mobility, flexibility, and stability limitations.
- Create a personalised roadmap based on your needs.
Only after this assessment will your customized training program be designed.
My Teaching Methodology
- I don't believe in making everyone perform the same workout.
- Instead, I teach you how to move correctly before moving harder.
Each session focuses on:
- Building proper movement mechanics and body awareness.
- Learning correct exercise technique before increasing intensity.
- Progressive strength training based on your current ability.
- Deep core activation for improved stability and lower back support.
- Mobility and flexibility to improve joint health and movement quality.
- Correcting posture and muscular imbalances.
Explaining the purpose behind every exercise so you understand what your body is learning.
Gradually progressing your program as your body becomes stronger and more capable.
I believe that mastering your own body is the foundation of long-term fitness. Once you learn to control your body weight efficiently, adding external resistance becomes safer, more effective, and far more rewarding.
Training Options
Programs may include:
- Strength Training
- Bodyweight Training
- Dumbbell Training
- Pilates-Based Movement
- Mobility Training
- Flexibility Training
- Functional Movement
- Posture Correction
- Deep Core Activation
If you don't own any equipment, that's absolutely fine. Effective training can be achieved using your own body weight, and we'll progress only when your body is ready.
Who Are These Classes For?
- Beginners starting their fitness journey.
- Working professionals with busy schedules.
- Adults looking to lose weight sustainably.
- Anyone wanting to build strength without intimidation.
- People experiencing poor posture, shoulder imbalances, or lower back discomfort.
- Individuals wanting to improve flexibility, mobility, and balance.
- Anyone who wants to understand their body instead of simply following workouts.
Who May Not Be a Good Fit
My coaching is best suited for people who are willing to learn, stay consistent, and trust the process. If you're looking for quick fixes, crash diets, or unrealistic transformations, my coaching style may not be the right fit.

Very good at understanding at understanding the body and mind of the client and knows how to work accordingly.
I highly recommend her as your personal trainer if you’re a beginner and trying to start your fitness journeyI have a decent workout experience, but I had no idea that home workouts could be so effective. I reached out to Purnima for muscle gain, and she helped me well attain my goals. Apart from this, she made me consistent and also helped me with my anxiety issues. She is knowledgeable and knows how to work well. I definitely recommend her!
The consultation itself was worth it. Purnima assessed my posture, movement, and technique before prescribing any exercises. She immediately spotted the compensations I had developed over the years and explained how they were affecting my movement.
I had never been able to engage my lower core properly until she taught me how. I also learned that I was unknowingly shifting my weight onto one leg whenever I got tired. Small corrections like these made a huge difference.
I've lost weight, my movement feels much more natural, and I feel stronger and more aware of my body. Her coaching is thoughtful, detailed, and very different from trainers who simply count repetitions.
I had a great experience training with Purnima. My favourite things about her coaching style were:
- Punctuality: The coach was on time for every session
- Accountability and push: I was motivated to keep going which helped me lose fat and get toned
- Upper body strength: For the longest I struggled with building upper body strength and now my back pain & hunched back is also gone
All thanks to Purnima for tailoring the program to my needs and pushing me to gradually progress and get results.I took session with Purnima. She conducted session nicely .I appreciate that she listened issues carefully and worked
Purnima is a very knowledgeable coach and designs strength training sessions according to the needs of the student, making the sessions friendly and interactive. She also makes sure to introduce new workouts and gives equal focus to strength and flexibility. I have gained a lot from her sessions personally and would greatly recommend her.
