Step Up And Lose Weight Now
If you’ve always hated running, rowing or any other forms of cardio exercises, do not worry. Try taking the stairs! Yes, you didn’t hear me wrongly. The flights of stairs in your office building and HDB block might just be your answer to shedding those extra kilos. We are very fortunate to be living in Singapore. Besides being able to take the stairs up our HDB or condo block, we can also take the stairs whereever we can – think MRT stations, office stairs, shopping malls etc. The possibilities are endless. The best thing about stair-climbing is that you can …
I Am A Certified Master Trainer
I’ve been considering to upgrade my personal trainer qualifications for some months now and since it’s already December, I decided to just bite the bullet and go for it. If there’s one thing I hate in life, it’s staying stagnant as it signifies no growth. Everyday in life, we are either growing or not. It feels like varsity all over again with lecture notes, case studies and the final exam. The only difference this time is I feel more confident as my clientele base continues to build up steadily. With more clients, I am able to draw from my experience and …
Personal Training Changes Lives
It is the worst kept secret that when we embark on something new, it’s almost always the most difficult. And that’s when some of us would feel like throwing in the towel and walk away. We tell ourselves it’s too difficult and it cannot be done. But for the rest of us who persevere and watch the weeks go by, the results really speak for themselves. Such is the case of one of my male clients. Comparing the first time when he started training and the training he just completed today (his 15th lesson), the results are just phenomenal. …
New Significant Fitness Milestones Achieved
Words cannot quite describe how I feel today…It’s a really beautiful feeling – one mixed with the emotions of gratitude, pride and achievement. And best of all, I have been testimony to all that has been happening till date. I’m literally feeling over the moon because two of my newest clients (who are barely one month old each) have made significant progress in their workouts! Initially still struggling with both machine weights and bodyweight exercises when I first met them, their maiden foray into free weights didn’t prove too much of a challenge! This can only mean one thing – …

Happy New Year everyone! As we usher in a brand new year with an exciting 12 new months ahead of us, here’s 3 new year resolutions for 2011 which I hope you find useful 🙂 1.

You need to have a purpose in life. Make that a goal. We all know goal-setting is the most important as it helps us make or break our …
New Weights At Clubfitt Gyms
If you’ve always thought the public gyms were the poorer cousins of the private gyms, perhaps it’s time to rethink that again. Situated conveniently around the island, the 15 (and soon more to come I believe) Clubfitt gyms have been slowly, but surely undergoing a renewal of sorts of its own. Imagine our pleasant surprise today at Toa Payoh Clubfitt Gym when both my client and myself saw gleaming, new weights. Like a kid finding new candy bars in the store, it was indeed a welcome sight. The new barbell weights on the rack The new rubberised dumbells In a …
The Sunday Times Article: Dressed For Success
Many people want to step out and exit the rat race but have not summoned enough courage to do so. I can relate to this and all of the pulling back factors – chief among them strong family objection, the fear of failure and a lack of self-conviction. But there will come a point in time when enough is enough. You just have to sack your boss and move on. Staying on would mean continued misery, false promises and a decreasing quality of life. Only upon leaving would one truly become free and fulfill one’s destiny on this planet. This was …
