About Me

Height: 1.90m | Weight: 94kg

After serving the National Service as an Officer for the Air Force, I decided to take a degree in Engineering as I always had a passion for science, math and numbers since young. I graduated from National University of Singapore with a Degree in Civil Engineering (Honors with Distinction) in 2017.

After that, I worked for the Housing & Development Board (HDB) for 4 years under a Ministry of National Development (MND) Scholarship. During my time there, I started to develop my passion for fitness, reading books, watching videos, and taking up a part-time Personal Trainer role. After my bond ended, I decided to become a full-time Personal Trainer and open my own gym.

I am currently an ACE Certified Fitness Trainer with many years of experience in helping over 100 people achieve their fitness goals with science, data and automation, without starvation diets or spending hours in the gym.

I am the owner of Homeground Gym Tampines and Farrer Park. I am also the Head Coach there to 8-12 Trainers.

I won 1st Place in the Fitness Movement Physique Showdown (Cat E, Seniors) in 2019. I am also a lifelong natural.

To me, the 3 pillars to reach your fitness goals sustainably are Nutrition, Training and Mindset. All 3 pillars have to work hand in hand - you will have to eat right, train smart and have the right mindset as you are in this for the long haul.

I enjoy writing evidence-based articles on these 3 pillars to educate people. Writing also helps to consolidate my knowledge.

In my years of coaching experience, I always integrate these 3 pillars into my methods. These pillars are specific and personalized to your needs, after understanding your lifestyle and habits. This is done initially through interviews, then fine-tuning along the way through observations and relationship building.

In addition to the 3 pillars, I also hold strong to the 3 values below, be it for coaching or for writing.

My 3 Values

Science, Data, Automation

Science

Exercise Selection, Exercise Order, Periodization, Load, Reps and Sets, Rest Times, Intensity are all Science-Based. Meaning, they are backed up by research (Randomized Controlled Trials, Meta-Analysis) that have been done over the past years. This is supplemented by anecdotal data and experience with the 100 over clients I have worked with. This means that my training methods have proven to work. Training Program are personalized by me for each and every client.

Data

I use Data like Body Weight, Calories consumed, Protein intake, Step count, Exercise Burnt to see your progress and how to adjust each variable to minimize effort and maximize results. Progress is also tracked through body measurements and progress pictures. I’ve developed it myself and it collates all the data into one platform for your easy viewing. This means adjustments can be made real-time.

Automation

We all have busy lives. Dedicating more time to achieving your fitness goals should be kept to a minimum and thus I want to make things easy for my clients. To collect data in the point above, I have made this process as seamless as possible by integrating my app with your phone. I also developed a Telegram Bot that summarizes all the data and gives constant reminders on what to do the next day too.

My training program also automates Progressive Overload (meaning to increase reps and/or load each week) which is unlike 99% of the training apps out there. This means that you can follow the program yourself without waiting for me to change it manually.

Putting in All Together

With Science-Based Methods, this means that if you can follow my plan, I can guarantee you the results. And progress can be tweak on a real-time basis because of all the Data that I have. Progress will also be sustainable through Automation, making the process easier to follow.
