As a former representative of Malaysia in the sport of Short Track Speed Skating, I am no stranger to the world of sports and fitness. From the ages of 13 to 18, I competed in multiple international competitions all across Asia and Europe. My training took me beyond borders to cities such as Seoul, South Korea, and Kunming in the mountains of China where I endured high-altitude training. Along the way, I discovered my talent in coaching and decided to jump into the world of personal training. Now, with 3 years in the fitness industry equipped with knowledge from my past athlete experience and having trained clients from the ages of 14 to 78 years old, I'm ready to change the lives of my clients and make them feel stronger and youthful.

As an athlete, strength training was essential for me to get stronger so that I could perform better in my sport. Little did I know the full extent of benefits that strength training had to offer. After taking my FISAF Level 3 Personal Trainer certification and doing more research, I realized how beneficial strength training is to everyone regardless of age. My mission now as a personal trainer is to improve the lives of my clients and spread awareness of how fitness plays a big part in the longevity of your health.
