Meet Amena

Hi, I’m Amena.

 

I've been coaching since 2008, helping people build strength, move with greater confidence and make training part of their lives. My career grew from a personal love of aerobic exercise and strength training into a commitment to helping others discover what they can do.

​

During 14 years working in commercial gyms, I coached people with different starting points and goals—from beginners to recreational lifters and athletes. That experience shaped how I coach today: with a clear purpose, guidance grounded in evidence, and adjustments that suit the person in front of me.

​

In 2022, I opened MixXFITT in Christ Church, Barbados, to create a smaller, more personal training environment. Here, you work directly with me. I help you learn the movements, understand your training and progress at a pace that challenges you while respecting your starting point.

​

Much of my work is with women navigating changing bodies and busy lives. I also coach recreational athletes who want to get stronger and support the sports they enjoy. Whether you’re returning to exercise, working towards a specific goal or building strength for everyday life, we’ll shape your training around your experience, abilities and priorities.

​

My coaching brings together strength training, nutrition and lifestyle guidance. I aim to help you understand what matters for your goals and build habits you can sustain.

I believe strength gives you more options—in your training, in the activities you enjoy and in everyday life. My role is to help you build that strength with

knowledgeable guidance, encouragement and a plan that makes sense for you.
