Fitness Workshops For Singapore Schools: 5 Lessons Fitness Training Can Teach You
If a picture paints a thousand words, what would it paint of you? I think it would say get up, get ready and get fit. For the past three months, my team of fitness trainers has been privileged to bring our fitness workshops to different secondary schools in Singapore. From July to September 2015, we left our imprints on Yio Chu Kang Secondary School. And in October 2015, we brought the same fitness workshop to Chestnut Drive Secondary School. As fitness trainers in Singapore, we deem it a beautiful gift to help others kickstart their fitness journey. I strongly feel …
Health & Fitness Workshop for Jurong Junior College JC1 Girls: Part 2
Today’s the second installment of my health and fitness workshop at Jurong Junior College (JJC) for the JC1 Girls’ Camp. Returning for the second time is always memorable as feedback from yesterday’s session showed the students wanting more bodyweight exercises. Sporting a more energetic look in my sporty red & black themed gym gear, the stage was set for an energising 1.5hr session ahead. Looking at the girls decked in their PT attire reminded me of my own school days. With the floodgate of junior college memories wide open, I started the workshop by getting the girls to do a …
Health And Fitness Talk For Ministry Of Education (MOE)
Imagine being asked to speak at a service excellence themed event on a topic that is non-service related. Most people would probably think twice before accepting. But not the organizers and myself. We agreed that it could be done and would be interesting. Titled “Serving You, Serving Me”, the service excellence themed event at the Ministry of Education (MOE) Headquarters first kicked off with an award presentation ceremony honoring the most service oriented staff in the ministry under the “Serving You” category before proceeding with my portion on health and fitness which was billed under “Serving Me”. If you think …

Health And Fitness Lifeskills Elective Module For Marsiling Secondary School
To broaden the quality of school education and allow students to look forward to more opportunities for experiential, practice-oriented learning, an increasing number of schools have started to introduce elective modules. As its name suggests, an elective module is a specially designed programme to help students discover their interests and talents, and make learning more engaging. Many a times, what we learn from the textbooks cannot measure up to what actually happens in the real world. Welcome to the real world! The real world out there is where our skills are tested and where we gather new knowledge. Forget about …
Health And Fitness Talk For Edgefield Secondary School
I always believe being able to share my knowledge with others is a blessing. And being able to multiply that many times and share with 320 students is a huge blessing. This was what awaited me at Edgefield Secondary School this morning. I was invited to the school to talk to the Secondary 1 students on health and fitness. Walking into the school hall and being introduced on stage in front of a big group felt like a far-fetched dream years ago. After all, wasn’t I the shy, introverted, pock-marked face hermit? Fast forward to today and I have shed …
Health Talk For Chung Cheng High School
Health and fitness will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s not only because it has become part of my lifestyle, but more importantly, it’s my roots. So when I was invited to give a health and fitness talk to the Secondary 4 graduating students of Chung Cheng High School, I agreed readily. When you are seen as a role model for others to emulate, there is no greater privilege than this. Like many others out there, I have had my own insecurities too when I first started out. To show the students that the me back then …
Health And Fitness Talks At AusGroup
It’s been a long while since I was invited back to the industrial estates to conduct my health and fitness talks. And here I am, in this two-part series, yesterday and today, at AusGroup, located at the far far west of Tuas.As with any other industrial, construction, manufacturing or shipping industries, holding a talk is always challenging for any trainer as you need to code switch between English, Mandarin and dialects sometimes too! Faced with the different nationalities in the room, from our locals to the Malaysians, Indians and Chinese nationals, being able to switch from one tongue to another was …
10 Week Health Fitness Training Programme For West Spring Secondary School
We all love a good story – one that tells the tale of some sort of transformation. People change because of some circumstance in their lives. While some reasons are extrinsic, others are intrinsic. There is no denying that a positive change is always welcome. When you know you have the ability to transform into someone better, will you take up the challenge? Ask no further than the 24 students from West Spring Secondary School. Armed with enthusiasm of a love for fitness, they chose to take up an elective module for the last 10 weeks. From the initial awkwardness …
Health & Fitness Workshop for Jurong Junior College JC1 Girls: Part 1
Hot on the heels of the grooming workshop which ended in the morning is a health and fitness workshop for the JC1 girls of Jurong Junior College. Dressed in my workout gear, I met up with the girls who were also all in their PT attire in the air-conditioned hall. It’s all about being appropriately dressed for the occasion. Dividing up the girls into five teams for easier coordination, the health and fitness workshop continued to bring the girls along on a journey of self-discovery. It is one thing to know something, yet another altogether to face up to the reality. Now that everyone …
