Something to consider when it comes to health and fitness, you can’t just look at one aspect and generalise everything.

Consider all factors and improve them, compounding effect does wonders.

Sarah… you got me on my knees…

Thank you to .n.ember for this very memorable day where the stars aligned🙏🏽

Bulgarians or rear foot elevated split squat - whatever you wanna call it. Constantly butchered and from what I’m judging, wrongly set up a fair bit for people who don’t have the range to begin with.

Having the typical high set up of placing it on a bench is really not necessary for most, a small elevation with a platform/plate should do the trick to address things like mobility and stability.

Moving from point A to B is cool, but helping my clients to understand positions to facilitate the movements and what the exercise can provide for you BEST is what I do on the gym floor. Individualised set up before Intensity to always keep things safe and build confidence.

Note how much more hip flexion I’m getting and also not sitting ‘back’ in to my right knee with the different set up? That’s probably a lot more ideal given the inability to remove the back quad out of the equation.

Have centre of mass over front foot > keep it forward as you descend > pause and suffer!

Swipe for other exercises that allow you to bias the hips that allows you to push intensity and fail safely💪🏽

Guess it’s time for me to start putting up reviews so here it goes - working with Shawn has been a huge blessing, he has allowed me to grow in many stages of my career and also provided me with many problems to solve in this journey.

Left VS Right:
Bodyweight: 80kg ↘️74.9kg
Body fat %: 16.7% ↘️12.1%

It’s cut and dry, everything is binary. You either do it or you don’t.

Some of his big lifts numbers below and also getting down to 12% BF were the milestones for him in 2024:
135kg Trap Bar DL
28kg DB Bench Press
15kg Weighted Pull-ups
95kg Back Squats

The ‘problem’ with this whole fitness and health thing is instant gratification, but you just have to put the work in, and Shawn is an exemplar of that with his consistent hardwork.

One of those with new resolutions and need some accountability? Let’s work something out!🤝🏽

I’d like to think that I’m making a positive impact on someone in some way or another and that’s pretty much the best part about what I’m doing.

Bottom line is everyone wants some sort of progress in their desired direction and I’m just a guide.

Here’s my client who brought her parents in for a session and giving me a nice little update on where she’s at after seeing the doctor this week after 1.5 years working together🤝

It’s never too late to get into things for yourself and those around you, more than happy to help anyone:

Strength training.
Cardio training.
Hybrid training.

Whatever mode of training it is, it should depend entirely on what you want and need. Everyone can preach about their “superior” way of training, but here’s the truth:
• If you want to get stronger, isn’t strength training the clear choice?
• If you don’t want to struggle climbing a flight of stairs, doesn’t cardio make more sense?
• If you want to excel at both strength and endurance, hybrid training is where it’s at.

You can try to do it all, but if it feels like a chore, it won’t stick. And when life is already packed with responsibilities—family, work, and more—what matters most is not the “perfect” plan, but finding a system that works for you and your lifestyle.

I take pride in helping people cut through the noise and create a plan that feels good, fits their goals, and becomes a sustainable part of their lives.

Beyond just improving physical health, I focus on aligning your training with your mindset, behaviors, and preferences—because lasting results come from consistency, not just “optimal” programs on paper.

Let’s build your path to long term success TOGETHER!

I hope I’ve matured and grown over my experiences and mistakes because being in the game longer doesn’t make me a more qualified person, so here’s 10 things I’ve learned about being in the fitness industry working with clients, ‘colleagues’ and multiple gyms over the last 5 years:

1. This job is all about Customer Service, mostly results driven that is bonded by how strong the relationship, communication between both parties , and in some way transactional but ultimately HELPING someone all into one. Your body being a business card is subjective but also useful to show that you’ve put in the work and know what it takes - time and hardwork.

2. It’s never about me, it’s about the person across me. Everyone enjoys talking about themselves but the goal is to understand and dig deeper.

3. IMO, I low key hate the fact that I’m actually part of Singapore’s fitness industry because of the sheer amount of crap I’ve seen. I can safely count and conclude that I only have less than 10 people that I can wholeheartedly trust.

4. I’ve started pulling back from making much comments on anything and learn to be humble as best as possible. Some way or another it’s gonna bite you back in the ass.

5. My clients have taught me so many valuable lessons, and the most important of it all is that they never fail to answer my questions and sharing what they know. Thank you for addressing my curiosity.

6. The little things compound, stay the course and put the next step forward.

7. Science and research papers are informative, but application is the important bit and with that comes experience along with psychology and personality types of the person to ‘manipulate’ them.

8. Finding your ‘WHY’ is the most important thing. You can be vain, insecure, clueless and goal oriented but it still ties back to that one word.

9. ‘You shouldn’t judge someone, but you can always have an opinion.’ - Harry

10. Your past probably defines you, but if you keep talking about it, you’ve probably lived a very regretful life. Live in the moment but plan ahead (back to 6)

Thank you for the shot

11/02/2024

A lot of things that happened in my life are of coincidence and serendipitous, which I didn’t necessarily plan on.

I’ve taken aim at my sea of troubles, and like the hidden reefs, I find peace in the ebb and flow when I drift away.
