Both Kritika and Arya are grounded in their values of making the space accessible for women on their own different journeys without pushing them towards a standardised goal.

Gym with their big equipments and macho energy used to always daunt me but post 30, I reluctantly started looking for strength training spaces but did not imagine to stumble upon a place so wholesome. Kritika and Arya have managed to swim against the tide of toxic workout industry and truly create something so unique. They are gentle and supportive approach has made me transform my relationship with exercise and my body in whole.

Also, the space itself feels like you’re working out of a vacation home.

- Garima Agarwal, Therapist, Bangalore

As someone who's always had a difficult relationship with exercise, but a very good relationship with my body, it's been so good to find a space and trainers that aren't trying to push me towards weightloss, but rather, focus on strength, consistency, and are doing a wonderful job building a community while they're at it.

- Megha Harish, Bangalore

The trainer I had before her decided that my goal is to acquire a "v shaped torso," even though I had had a lengthy discussion with them before commencing on training. I had followed Kritika for a while on Instagram and had waited for her space to open up, before starting training with her. My fitness journey with her coincided with my need for personal and professional grounding.

Kritika is a revolutionary trainer with an unerring instinct for people's capacities, boundaries, and strengths. As a person, she is warm, humorous and endowed with depth. I always look for evidence-based authenticity in my experiences, and Osmosis studio embodies this perfectly. As a woman in my 40s in perimenopause, I've found Kritika to be empathetic to my needs, and knowledgeable. She brings interdisciplinary training to her practice, and I've been fortunate to meet an eclectic community in her studio. My vocabulary has changed from "calories and counting" to "strength and compassion." We need a growing tribe of trainers like Kritika amidst us, to overturn dangerous narratives governing the wellness industry. Onward and upward, Kritika and Osmosis Studio!

Kritika is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in your progress. She meets you where you are and makes strength training approachable. The studio is a beautiful space. I love going here and would recommend it to all!

- Varalika Singh, Bangalore

Highly recommend Osmosis for anyone looking to build a healthier relationship with their body and feel truly supported.

- Shaheen Peer, Photographer, Bangalore

I’ve been training with them for 8 months now, and I’m inspired by their solidly rooted values of inclusivity and accessibility. Many movement/ fitness instructors talk eloquently about every body being unique, but Kritika and Arya demonstrate their seriousness about the practice of supporting every individual in the uniqueness of their lived experience- no generalized goals or assumptions are imposed. There is a very tangible difference I notice in my relationship with my body and building strength. Being in community with other women folk who are in their own different journeys is so very nourishing too. This space is a real gift to Bangalore.

- Shalini Rao, Therapist, Bangalore

A no nonsense attitude to fitness, respecting the body's cues and making it strong. There are no mirrors, no selfies, no protein shakes and co ord sets. What do you expect is a lot squats, planks and encouragement to do more, lift more.

- Yukti Sharma, Bangalore

It’s a welcoming space designed for women, with small, supportive batches and zero gym aggression. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to show up, take care of yourself, and be inspired by others doing the same.

- Jai Desai, Bangalore

Kritika and Arya are both wonderful trainers and Osmosis is one of the few non intimidating, inclusive spaces in the city.

- Sushma Madappa, Potter, Coorg

A community of wonderful and inclusive women who show up and encourage and inspire. I would highly recommend if you want to move away from the typical gym and online workout set-ups which rarely have a sense of community or inclusivity.

- Aadhya Shah, Bangalore

- Upasana Nallari, Bangalore

They tailored my training to help me ease back in, ensuring I built strength and confidence at my own pace.

Six months later, I feel more connected to my body, stronger, and ready to explore new fitness formats – a journey I couldn’t have imagined without their guidance and encouragement. I’m truly grateful to have found such skilled and compassionate trainers and look forward to a lifetime collaboration with them.

When I opened this form to write a review, I thought about what sets Osmosis apart from other boutique studios. It isn't just their top-notch training program (which is definitely 10/10), but the incredible humans behind it. Ms Kritika and Ms.Arya with their empathy quotient, their experience and warmth truly makes this place a workout haven. And believe you me, I think fitness instructors can make or break your mind and body.

As someone who's been active for over 15 years but always struggled with weights, I was blown away by how quickly the sessions at Osmosis helped me unlearn misconceptions and discover what my body is truly capable of.

The warmth and empathy at Osmosis create a uniquely mindful environment. For the first time ever, I'm able to shut out the noise of daily life and be fully present during my workouts. It's not just exercise; it's a mini-retreat for body and mind.

If you're looking for expert guidance, genuine care, and a place that will help you fall in love with fitness, look no further than Osmosis. It's become one of the best parts of my life, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

Basreena Bashir, Bangalore

I've joined the group training sessions and it's absolutely wonderful. The training is of high quality and there is a wonderful community that one feels part of. Way to go Osmosis!

- Sheeba Sen, Bangalore

I joined the small group sessions at Osmosis Studio in August. The studio provides a welcoming environment and the workouts are effective while taking into account personal needs. I love that the small group sizes enables Arya & Kritika to provide individual attention to correct form and posture. I am excited to attend my sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays and that's been lovely. Above everything, I love that their focus is genuinely on our holistic health. I highly recommend Osmosis Studio and I look forward to continuing my health and wellbeing journey with them!

- Poorvaja Prakash, Bangalore

I’ve been at Osmosis for 4 months, started my journey with never having done any strength and functional training but now so much more at ease with it thanks to the programme run by Krithika and Arya - they are focused on us getting our form right and being fit more than just hitting a number on the scale!

- Velinka Alphonso, Bangalore

I remember the first time I reached out to Kritika on instagram, in November of last year. I was fed up of all the fitness classes I had enrolled in the past few years - each one making me feel worse about myself than the other. All of them reinforced the same thing - that I was not strong enough, not thin enough, not agile enough. I had developed a negative relationship with exercise and I reached out to her in a desperate attempt to fix that.

Instead of pushing me to exercise on day 1, she started me on health coaching for a couple of months. We met online every week and looked at various aspects of my lifestyle and how I can optimise my energy levels. There were no pictures of food I was eating, no "cheat" days, no before and after pictures. It was a refreshing change.

And around 2 months in, I walked into Osmosis Studio. I did PT initially, and then eventually joined the group classes. Osmosis is a warm and welcoming space in the heart of Indira Nagar. I almost feel like I'm working out in a tree house. Having consistently worked out there for a few months now (I travel down from HSR because I love the space so much!), I can confidently say that she has changed my relationship to exercise. I look forward to exercising, and I'm kinder to myself on days when I don't have the energy to exercise.

- Namrita Rao, Bangalore

I have been training with Kritika at this beautiful spot for a little over 6 months now.

She has truly changed the way I look at fitness. My relationship with my body is a lot more positive. A bite of food or the scale does not govern my mood or my day any more.

Going out for a workout is not a chore any more, I look forward to it. She reminded me of the sheer joy of moving my body! ❤️ Osmosis has been one of the best decisions I took.

- Diya Chakraborty, Therapist, Bangalore

I love coming here because every time the outside world preaches diet culture, stepping in here reminds me that my body is more than just a number on the scale. Kruthika has created thoughtful exercise programmes that help you build your strength, flexibility and get fit(ter) with other like-minded women who help build each other up. What's more, the location is on top of a treehouse overlooking the pretty Indira Nagar streets. I'd 100 percent recommend Osmosis Studio for everyone regardless of where they are in their fitness journey, because over here, the only person you're competing against is the previous version of yourself and you're having so much fun, you don't even realise your body is getting to exactly where you want it to be.

- Suganya Manivannan, Bangalore

Kritika is extremely patient with her clients and loves what she does that is creating sustainable workouts that work in the long run. Workouts are progressed slowly keeping in mind what her clients strength and weaknesses. Oh one more thing it’s PET FRIENDLY and you will get the honour of meeting Chi chi!!

- Kannika Marwaha, Bangalore

The program is tailored to your body in a way that is challenging, while keeping both your physical and mental health in mind. No gimmicks, no quick fixes, just good form and focus on long-term goals. The studio is beautiful, comfortable and full of light. A true oasis in the middle of Indiranagar.

- Tena Pick, Bangalore

She’s understanding and accommodating but also pushes you to reach your goals at the same time. I’m very glad I found this space to train in, more than the physical benefits it does wonders to your mental well-being too (Charlie is an added absolute bonus of course)

- Arathi Kannan, Bangalore

She's patient, knowledgeable about different body types and knows how much to push you based on your personality and capability. She helps you build a routine slowly but effectively and makes you enjoy workouts!
