Our Testimonials

Literally out of words for this.
There was a day when i just wished to walk normally again and now i’m able to hit PR’s in the gym.

I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Ismat for being such a great guide. I had been suffering from neck pain for the past 2 years. I had visited multiple physiotherapists but with not much relief. I had stopped working out as I was scared I'll injure myself. Along with that, I had put on weight as well. With Ismat's guidance, I was able to reduce my weight by 8 kilos in the last 3 months, got relief from my nagging neck pain and yes, I'm able to exercise again. Thanks for being such an amazing mentor.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Ismat for managing my condition. She made the whole process seamless and incredibly effective. She took the time to thoroughly understand my issues, tailoring the plan to target my specific needs. What impressed me most was Ismat’s professionalism and clear communication. She guided me through each exercise with patience and attention to detail by checking my form in through video clips that I sent, making sure I was doing everything correctly. Thanks to Dr. Ismat, I've seen significant improvement and relief from pain. I feel empowered and more knowledgeable about managing my condition.

A Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Ismat Khoja – More Than Just a Coach! I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible journey Dr. Ismat Khoja has guided me through. As a professional physiotherapist and nutritionist, she didn’t just help me recover from my prolonged lower back injury and meniscus tear—she completely transformed my mindset, my body, and my approach to fitness. When I started, I was stuck in a lethargic lifestyle, struggling with pain, frustration, and self-doubt. Dr. Ismat didn’t just throw a generic plan at me; she took the time to understand my limitations, tailored my rehab and training, and most importantly, taught me patience. She helped me shift my focus from chasing quick fixes to trusting the process. Now, not only have I reduced my fat, but I’ve built strength beyond what I ever imagined possible. What sets her apart is not just her expertise, but her resilience and professionalism. She has had her own struggles, yet she always shows up with the same level of dedication and commitment. There were times when I felt angry at myself, even pitying my situation, but she addressed these emotions with empathy and wisdom, teaching me to stop playing the victim and instead take control of my progress. She has meticulously adjusted my diet based on my goals, making sure it’s sustainable rather than extreme. Through her mentorship, I’ve learned a crucial lesson: expecting babysitting, a magical diet, or overnight results is the wrong approach. Success in fitness requires accountability, and if I am not honest with myself, I cannot blame the coach. This lesson extends beyond Dr. Ismat—it’s something I’ve learned under my previous mentor as well. If you’re looking for someone who will push you, support you, and genuinely care about your long-term progress, Dr. Ismat Khoja is the coach you need. She’s not just a trainer—she’s a mentor who truly changes lives. Highly recommended!

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my coach, Ismat Khoja mam, for her incredible guidance and support throughout my journey. I had ACL surgery, and after that, I was determined to start a weight loss and transformation journey. Thankfully, I found Ismat Khoja mam, and I couldn't have asked for a better coach. Under her guidance, I lost 8 kgs in just 3 months and gained an incredible amount of strength along the way. Ismat mam is not only knowledgeable and experienced but also incredibly patient and supportive. She adjusted my diet and workout plan to suit my needs and limitations, always making sure that I felt comfortable and motivated. She also took the time to teach me the basics of nutrition and exercise, which has given me the confidence to make healthier choices on my own. I had so many questions, and she answered each one with care and patience. Her expertise and dedication truly stand out, and I always felt that she genuinely cared about my progress. If you're looking for someone who is skilled and fully invested in your goals, I can't recommend Ismat Khoja mam highly enough. She's an exceptional coach who will go above and beyond to help you reach your goals..!!

I have been training with Ismat for over an year now. My reason for joining with her was to overcome arthritis pains and have a normal life. Prior to joining her, the doctor asked me to limit all activities. once the doctor has given clearnace, i joined with her. The stretches she recommended gave me some relief to start with. Slowly and steadily I started improving. After few months I had some other health issue and she had patiently supported me throughout. Now I have almost recovered from both health issues. I don't suffer with pains months together, I have also found ways and methods of what works for my body. Everyday I explore to see what else I can do and ismat guides me patiently and supports me always. I would say in this 1 year my life has come back to almost normal, like how I was when I didn't have any pains. There were lots of challenges and I navigated through them with her help. Thanks for guiding me, ismat!

She is a fantastic coach. So patient with me. She answers all my queries, no matter how silly they are. I will recommend her to anyone. the fact that she is a physiotherapist also helps alot. I have back issues and she has given me a workout plan keeping my problems in mind. I couldn't have asked for someone better.

Thank you Ismat for helping me out in this transformation!! She gave me diet according to my eating preferences. I lost 13 kg during my journey because of her !!! She is a wonderful person and amazing mentor. I would definitely recommend her to everyone.

Ismat Khoja is the coolest coach I could hope for ? Always instilling confidence in me, constantly motivating. Never letting me loose hope when I was frustrated ,calmly encouraging me "Hoga, Hoga" . Constantly guiding me on when not to get carried away with certain workouts or postures which could be stressful for my back. Always promptly responding to my sometimes very silly queries, it became a pleasure sharing small achievements with her ? and she would respond "Chhoti Chhoti Khushiyan" After my first 12 weeks I decided to renew my package with her for another 12 weeks. Very happy and satisfied with my transformation. The grind is still on. In the past 6 months I've found a friend and guide in her! Love you Ismat Khoja

An amazing person, an amazing mentor,full of enthusiasm. She transfers her positive vibe to you in a way that you always feel motivated. She has always been patient with my silly queries, endless ranting! Be the same girl and all the best!

I have been with IsmAt for a year now and her knowledge is unbeatable. She is very patient and also gives feedback on meal prep for busy mums like me. I have so many health issues and With IsmAt rehab exercises, those are getting fixed . Her knowledge in physio is very helpful in this program .

The program helped me become more mindful about my diet and overall health. I appreciated the emphasis on sustainable habits. I was able to lose 5.3 kg during the program and also saw an improvement in my HbA1c levels (from 5.9 to 5.7). Thank you for your guidance and support.

Dr Khoja was recommended to me by my brother Dr Yatin Kher for rehabilitation of my shoulder (ACJ joint arthritis). When I started the rehab, I was close to getting a surgery but she was confident that I wouldn’t need one. After more than a month of flowing her routine, the shoulder feels much better and I have the confidence that my shoulder is on way to mend

I reached out to Ismat maam in October 2023 and took training from her for 3 months, but I waited to post this review because I wanted to make sure the techniques and exercises she recommended were effective in the long term. After struggling with varicocele for 8 years, I was constantly told by doctors to quit the gym. But after working with her, not only was I able to continue training, but I am now lifting heavier weights than I ever thought possible! Her personalized approach and expert advice have completely changed my fitness journey, and I am so grateful for the improvement in my health. The results speak for themselves, and I’m now free from a long-standing problem that I thought would never go away. Thank you, Ismat ji , for your incredible support and for giving me my fitness back!"

i would recommend these services, great approch.

I am really stoked with the results I got... I have gotten much relief from my back pain and lost my post pregnancy weight which i was struggling to lose since long time ..very thanks to my coach who made it possible with her suggestions ..she was always available to me and cleared all my doubts and motivated me.. so I'm able to achieve the result which I was not able to do previously.. thank you so much ismat

In 2023–24, I lost 20 kg within a year, but after I stopped training, all my old issues came back. I have been dealing with rheumatoid arthritis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, trigger thumb, and sciatica. Gradually, the pain returned—especially in my lower back, hip joint, and coccyx area.

That’s when I decided to restart my rehab with Dr. Ismat. With proper guidance and structured strength training, I began recovering again. Today, I’m able to perform exercises like deadlifts and barbell squats, which once felt impossible.

Most importantly, my pain has reduced by around 85%, and I feel much stronger and more confident in my body.

I’m forever grateful to Ismat for helping me regain my strength and improve my quality of life.

I highly recommend Dr. Ismat for anyone struggling with disk herniation. Prior to working with her, even walking 3-4 km resulted in severe back pain for me. Under her care, I've experienced a remarkable transformation; I can now effortlessly walk 10-15 km without any issues. Dr. Ismat's approach is holistic and personalized, focusing not just on physical therapy but also on dietary adjustments to support recovery and enhance overall fitness. Her physical therapy regimen is tailored to strengthen the back effectively, and the exercises prescribed were both manageable and effective in reducing pain and improving mobility. What stands out most is Dr. Ismat’s dedication to her patients' recovery. She regularly checks in to monitor progress and makes adjustments as needed, showing a genuine commitment to her patients' health and well-being. The combination of diet, fitness advice, and physical therapy has not only helped heal my back but has also greatly improved my quality of life. If you're seeking a therapist who offers comprehensive and compassionate care, Dr. Ismat is an excellent choice.

I used to be an active athlete until college and suffered a lot of sports injuries. After joining work I reduced playing much and with age the injuries started flaring up. I also had put on lot of weight, especially after marriage and with hectic work schedules. I chose Ismat because of a friend’s recommendation and it was one of the best decisions. Ismat being a doctor guided me good with nutrition and workouts. Although workouts were easy for me coz of my past sports experience, getting my body to understand my diet was tough and she helped us a lot on that. After 4 months I saw 7 kgs in reduction. But more than the weight reduction it’s the other things that made me happy. I was more confident about handling injuries, sickness and getting back after injuries. I learnt how to keep a track of my diet even during sickness. My appetite has changed for good and I m able to listen to what my body needs. I became more active, earlier I used to be exhausted by the time I m done with work. I also saw other minor changes like hair growth, reduced hairfall, stronger & healthy hair and glowing skin. I had pcos and had difficulties with getting periods on time. In 2-3 months I got it reversed and been having regular periods. My cholesterol levels have also gone down. Overall I feel confident I m on the right track to a healthy lifestyle 😊

Highly recommend Ismat for any rehab and transformation needs. I and my wife had enrolled with Ismat. I have slip disc and my wife has spondylosis. Under Ismat's guidance we have learnt how to manage the pain, lost nearly 10kgs and have adopted healthy life style as a way of life. Many thanks to Ismat for this transformation

I'm writing this a bit late, but when I reflect back on my 2023 year , I have to say a huge thanks to Dr. Ismat! When I enrolled under her in May, I was suffering from chronic backache.Even after doing physiotherapy sessions with a couple of physiotherapists, pain was not getting relieved! When I enrolled under her, I requested a video conference call and made her understand my concerns and also mentioned that I am postponing my pregnancy due to this backache!! She made a rehab plan accordingly along with a diet plan! I did rehab exercises exactly like that, and slowly, we started with lightweight strength training! I would say that within 4 months of time , I had confidence in lifting 5kg dumbells in comparison to earlier, where I was not able to lift 1kg due to fear🙃 I am happy to share that I am 4.5 months pregnant with minimal backache! Thank you, Dr. Ismat for making tailor-made exercise and diet plans for me and helping me recover from my backache and fear also! I was with her till November, and we never skipped an update call, so she is very professional as well! Once again, a big thank you 😊

she's one of the most amazing trainers. I lost 8kgs and a good amount of inches under her training. I fell off track due to a few issues and the fact that I let me laziness take over. she still kept in touch with me and helped me get back on track. she's a friend who's got your back and is a task master to ensure you workout and be active in your program. lot of love to her. she's a Rockstar.

My life saver & yes she gave me a new life. She helped in coming out of my biggest fears. After 6 months of physiotherapies for neck & lower back I enrolled under her. My mentor helped me fully, at every moment. More like friend & sister to me she helped me& provided me bestest services. She is a motivator & booster. I started my journey# with golden words# bazar jatae tab bhi 3,4 kg uthaa te naa, toh bs vhy karna hai# Hoaengaa# I was so scared to go to gym again but her words creates a big wonder in my life. All negative thoughts created so bad boundaries around me; as i was on bed for 2,3 months. But when i started my fitness journey with her i discoverd new me- mentally & physically too. New change, was i look for possiblity not one but more possiblities :) :) I gained confidence & i am doing much better in other fields also. She is an amazing Mentor with very good qualities. She took care of me very well. If a girl with injuries & a girl having cervical can do in competition - TC6 why not you. What all i need, I get best even much more than that. Blessed to be part of SQUATS, Thanku JC Sir & My teacher/ mentor, may you more rise & shine - my superstar Mentor

ISMAT has been a wonderful coach, available all the time. She replied patiently to all my queries at any time of the day. Has been a great motivator. Days when i wanted to quit, she has encouraged me with positive notes. Am extremely happy with my transformation under her. I still have a long way to go in my journey of being fit and even after my program has got over she is still there to help and responds promptly to all my queries. Have couple of family and friends who have enrolled her and they have equally benefited by her guidance.

I have been experiencing severe back and knee pain due to a L4-L5 disc bulge and chondromalacia, which is caused by a deficiency of vitamins and more. Through the Fittr community, I discovered Dr. Ismat and made the decision to enroll with her. We began working on my condition through a combination of rehabilitation and strength training, and I have witnessed significant improvements. Not only that, but she's helped me shed fat and gain some solid muscle too. Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the help and guidance.

Ismat is very good coach. She listen properly to all my problems and change the plan according to that. After joining her, my herniated disc and sciatica pain is much less now. I also lost some weight and my strength is improving. Now I feel more active and energetic. Sometimes pain is still there, but when I talk to her she changes my plan and it becomes better when I follow it.
3+ weeks completed with her and I want to continue more. Thank you so much for your help 😊

Truly grateful for this amazing weight-loss journey ✨
Following her diet plan, I lost 7 kgs in just 3 months with proper, balanced eating—no starvation and no unnecessary restrictions.
The plan was practical, effective, and easy to follow, along with a little exercise.
She is extremely supportive, motivating, and always available whenever needed, which made the journey even more comfortable and confident.
Highly recommend her to anyone looking for healthy and sustainable weight loss 💚

I got trained with Ismat mainly to get treated for my shoulder and back pain which was approx 6 years old. The pain was so bad that I couldn't do gym as it used to give me horrible pain.

Ismat helped creating a curated plan after my pain assessment and in just 2 weeks of workout i started feeling the difference. Today is more than 1 year after training with Ismat and the pain never came back. I can freely lift heavy weights in gym now without any issues.

I worked with Dr. Khoja for my sciatica pain which I had been struggling for past 1 year. She help me with a rehab which eased my pain within 3 consultations. Thank you so much for making my life less painful.

great service

I am scoliosis patient (curvature in spine unlike straight spine in normal people) and due to which one side of the body becomes overactive and another side becomes under-active as a result imbalance in body. For the last 1 year I was not working out or doing any weight training as advised by my other physiotherapist prior to Ismat mam. Due to imbalance in the body, a particular side of the body starts losing strength and it becomes very difficult to stand, sit or even sleep as muscles doesn't have strength to support body in any activity of the body which leads to pain in most of the parts of body. I was having severe left scapula pain, radiating pain in legs, lower back, glutes almost every part of body I was having pain and I stopped taking care of body in terms of diet as mentally I was going low. The least I was measured was 56 kgs and my current age is 30 years. Then I decided to move ahead and start working out in gym as I am passionate about fitness because somewhere in my mind I have a belief that if I start working out then I'll definitely heal from this bodily pains and weak muscle issues. But I cannot directly start working out as doctors has advised me to not lift weights and this time I need proper guidance to continue my journey and go longer along with healing of body. I was looking for a coach who have expertise in body movements, muscles strengthening and who knows about scoliosis, so basically a physiotherapist along with knowledge of fitness and diet. I came to know about Ismat mam and before enrolling I spoke to her and told all my bodily physical issues. She is very polite and she very well understand the problem. She prepared diet chart, my workout plan "yes she didn't adviced me to not to lift weights" and along with this rehab exercises. When I enrolled under her my weight was 58.2 kgs. I religiously started following everything she has planned for me and I started feeling better day by day. And exactly on 17th day (yes I could remember because I was very closely observing my body) my scapula pain was gone completely and my body started gaining strength. My muscles starts responding well and today after completion of 3 months I am in much much better position. Intially it was difficult to lift even 5kgs of dumbbell and today I could lift sufficiently heavy weight (this is just to say as to answer how well body recovered). With each week passing by my body started responding very well and each week I have gain approximately 300 to 500 gms of weight. And today after 3 Months by body weights 64.4 kgs with good lean muscles I.e. in total I gained 6.2 kgs. To say about her diet she was very flexible with what I would like to eat and on weekly progress calls every time she used to ask me about my diet, workouts and rehab exercises. Her diet was very simple, not at all fancy. My diet includes the food sources that a normal person eats daily. One can reach out to her at any time if someone is facing any issues in terms of food, diet and workout. I thank you Ismat mam for your guidance, support and help. Because of you I have started my fitness journey once again for which I am passionate about. Thank you for pushing me during the peak lockdown time as I was diverted from my routine in this period.

Hello Ismat, I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all your guidance and support throughout last 6 months. Your advices and encouragement have truly made a significant difference in my life. Specially to recover from my back pain Thank you for pushing me to be the best version of myself and for believing in my potential all the time. While I had some up and downs during last session, I look forward to continuing this journey with you probably in next November for achieving greater goals together. Again, thanks a lot for your time and support Ismat. Regards, Kalana

Dr. Ismat is a Rockstar!

I came to her with a lot of confusion, fear and honestly zero clarity about what was happening with my back.

What I appreciated the most was not just the exercises, but the way she handled my mindset. She didn’t overpromise, didn’t scare me, and didn’t give generic advice. Everything was structured, practical and tailored to my condition.

There were phases where I overthought symptoms or got anxious about small sensations, but she always guided me with logic and clarity instead of panic. That made a huge difference.

The rehab plan was simple yet effective. No unnecessary complexity, no gimmicks, just consistent, progressive work. And now reaching a point where I’m discharged into maintenance and being told to return to running and sports again says everything about the process.

More than physical recovery, she helped me regain confidence in my body.

If someone is dealing with a back issue and wants someone who actually understands both the physical and mental side of recovery, she’s the right person.

Grateful for the guidance.

Hello all I enrolled with Dr Ismat and it is very easy to follow the instructions given by her and magically helpful to get rid of all small / big health issues. As i am a diabetic that brings all health issues, the easy diet n workout plan given by Dr Ismat ma'am bring my blood sugar level normal and all my pain related issues are vanished. I feel energetic and young. I am satisfied with my progress with fitness and will take next step of body shape improvement under guidance of Dr Ismat. Thank you Ismat ma'am 'Nagpur chi mulgi' 🙏🏻

Working with Ismat was a great learning experience. I have been able to lose a ton of weight in the past doing it myself but always struggled to sustain a lean bulk. Ismat helped me figure out how to do it the right way and this has not only helped me progress with my workouts but also develop a healthy relationship with food. I don't ever feel like binging anymore and I now know how to quantify in surplus

I have been getting coached under Ismat from more than an year now. It was the Connect event of Fittr where I was talking about by L4-L5 disc bulge issues with coach Siddesh Vojhala. I was advised by him to go for a consultation with Ismat Khoja. I talked to Ismat and explained my problems and told her that I want to get transformmed without effecting my lower back or worsening it. I was very much impressed with the way she was handling the situation and I decided to register with her. She gave me customised rehab program and we started out on workouts and diet plans as suggested. I bugged her with all the questions and she patiently answered all of them and I was amazed of the knowledge she has. She keeps thing simple, precise and on point. She keeps me accountable by following up. When I used to miss my diet plan due to some changes, I used to fear as she puts me on spot and asks the reason for deviation in a healthy way. I am also a INFS scholar but I learned a lot from her about coaching and many other concepts which in which I was a newbie. I am happy with the transformation so far. I have lost inches and I could see body recomposition. My focus on tracking weight is almost gone. :) I am seeing differences in my dressing fit, posture, energy levels and more than anything I have learned to still workout and do pain management and respect my body. I would definetely recommend Ismat Khoja for anyone who wants to reach their fitness goals. My goals are changed so I am doing preparation for that and I know Ismat will be always reachable. Thanks Ismat for all the support so far and I wish you all the best !!!

Excellent coach. Very patient and friendly. I started exercising after my slip disc and I couldn't have found someone better to guide me through this phase. She took extra care to ensure I was comfortable with the workout plan.

Ismat is professional, she knows her job and is excellent in dealing with issues. I had a leg injury and my aim was to strengthen my weak points along with fat loss which she helped tremendously. She did send me weekly motivation and diet changes as per requirements, and always reverted back to silly queries within 24 hours. Her diet is very kitchen and budget friendly and you wont feel like all my money is going on diet food. She always explains why she is asking you to do this and that which makes a mentee concentrate more as she knows what she is looking for. She is a store house of bubbly positive energy which surely trickles down to the right bones when you feel like giving up. Her approach is gentle, she co-operates with the difficulties in the path and gives excellent advice's whenever asked for. Wishing her moons and stars in this path of life. I have learnt much more in these 12 weeks than I expected, and I know I have her all life being a friend/lil sister now!!

amazing mentor,very supportive,listens to the problem n provide support.

I made the decision to enroll under Dr. Ismat Khoja after struggling with my workouts for a year due to the restrictions imposed on me by an ACL injury, sciatica and shoulder stiffness. Ismat embodied every quality I was searching for in a trainer- a gentle, understanding buddy who understands your lifestyle, offers medical advice, allows modifications to dietary choices, inspires you to exercise on the days you are feeling down and is strict enough to keep you on track. Her exercise and rehab plans have been a life-saver. Her simple-to-follow technique has helped me perform better at the gym and live a pain-free life. I can't thank her enough for everything she does to make each and every one of her clients feel at ease on their fitness journey.

I’ve been living with Rheumatoid Arthritis for the past 17 years, which made walking difficult and caused constant joint pain along with weight gain. My daughter introduced me to Dr. Ismat Khoja considering my clinical condition, and we began the program in April.

Ismat is an excellent coach and always approachable, ready to guide whenever I reached out. She provided weekly customised meal plans and adjusted my exercises based on my pain levels.

Over 12 weeks, I lost 4 kg along with noticeable inch loss. Most importantly, I am now able to walk with much more ease. I am truly grateful for her support.

Hello - I’ve had few injuries with my fitness journey, most notably on my shoulders and elbow.
Dr. Ismat is my go to person for every injury. She is extremely knowledgeable and the diagnosis is impeccable. The online consultation is effective and immediately after the diagnosis, I receive the rehab plan that I need to follow.
The plans are well tailored and I do see an improvement within few days of the plan.

Thank you so much Dr. Ismat

I have known Ismat for 6 years now and am glad I found her at this stage in my life. She is my go to person for anything needing physiotherapy. She helped me 5 years ago when I was suffering from shoulder Bursitis and now with my knee pain. I feel hopeful that I would come out of my knee issue like I did last time under Ismat's able guidance. I greatly appreciate her support and would definitely recommend her to anyone dealing with sports injuries or injuries in general.

Great service
