“Over the past month, Shaun has been nothing but friendly and super supportive as a personal trainer and helped me make immense progress starting from someone that was scared of even stepping foot in the gym to someone feeling comfortable and confident in the gym by herself - all from across the world. He’s helped me gain a strong foundation into having a better lifestyle leading to a more sustainable habits in terms of training and nutrition, pushing me but at a comfortable pace that I am sure would benefit me in the long term. The only thing I would say is obviously the distance, but I already feel like I’ve made such huge progress so I can only imagine how much more I would progress if I had your hands on help, as well as showing how we’ve dealt with it over the distance and time difference and still show great results. Definitely would recommend Shaun to any beginners looking to start out at the gym, staying consistent and making good habits leading to a healthier lifestyle.”

“TENACITY.

I had an overall weak body devastated by chemo and especially weak knees and back.

Life felt at a standstill. I couldn’t do the thing I used to love. I was an active individual before and the negative  impact felt insurmountable. I had osteoporosis and suffered arthritis in my fingers due to medication.  I couldn’t walk for too long without feeling tired  and out of breath, and felt my knees were going to give way anytime. 

I couldn’t  tell how much I have improved until I realised I could freaking lift almost my own body weight. To top it all, I have no back aches, and I see muscles where previously were batwings. I play tennis and pickleball, practise Pilates and I love strength training! I put on a bit of weight after chemo but now my weight has gone down to pre chemo days and you know what, I don’t care about the scales anymore! I just want to continue getting stronger. My bone density has improved 100% and I no longer have osteoporosis! I have toned up and gone down 2 dress sizes! I love working out and feel good about myself. 

Now, I am healthier, stronger and in the best of health. Happy mind and body means a happy life!

Since working with Shaun I’ve also gotten a perky butt 🤭”

“CONFIDENCE.

“I've trained with other personal trainers before and I can very confidently say that Shaun is the best and my favorite. Under his guidance, I've become stronger, happier and more confident in the gym. He makes training fun and gets you the gains as well! 

When I first started I didn't want to go to the gym. I always knew that weight training is the most superior form of exercise with the most benefits to the body - but I just never got down to do anything about it. 

Since working with Shaun, I enjoy weight training now! I am confident going to the gym by myself as I am sure that my form is good and that I won't injure myself. Also got into the habit of continually tracking my progress and trying to beat my record from the previous month - so we have managed to also gamify the workouts to make it fun.

I feel better about myself knowing that I am doing something hard. 

Training with Shaun has been super fun! I genuinely enjoy the workouts!”

Nadia Hasbi, Pet Influencer

“Our sessions felt very customized to my goals, a lot of trainers provide ‘custom’ plans but aren’t adaptable to clients' ever changing lifestyle needs.

Within our first three sessions Shaun introduced some great exercises that alleviated my nagging shoulder pain. Lastly is all about personality. Shaun makes his clients comfortable really quickly.

His brand of professionalism is personal and that helps everything else.”

Arvin Rahman, Product Designer

“I came to Shaun to work on my general lack of fitness and wellbeing. My butt was sagging and I had a slight stomach bulge plus I would pull my back if I overdid my gardening. 

I felt lethargic on most days and I hated wearing tight jeans because of my flat butt! Gardening was also very draining.

Since working with Shaun I feel a lot more energised. My butt has gotten firmer and my stomach bulge is smaller. My back is also a lot stronger now.

My tight jeans have now come out of the wardrobe! I’m also not so weary of bending when gardening.”

Corine Ooi Bremner, Nutritionist/Retiree

“Sometime at the end of September I found myself at the heaviest I had ever been. The numbers on the scale made my eyes bulge almost as much as my tummy, which had been ballooning on a gassy stream of fried chicken and nasi lemak. The emotions came as followed – disbelief, disgust and then worst of all - indifference. We all get old and fat eventually, right? Nothing wrong with getting a head start.

I have been training with Shaun for over 3 years. Our range of training over the years has spanned from Pilates on the reformer to “Brodude” weightlifting, which speaks to his versatility as a trainer. However, he is truly effective when you have a goal in mind. Basically, it takes two to mango, and this became abundantly clear to me after my pickleball fever started. 

Shaun excels in listening to your motivations for training and takes the time to craft specific exercises to help you achieve your goals. He is always willing to improvise and get creative with your fitness regime, throwing curveballs, sometimes literally, in your workout sessions. This keeps things fresh and purposeful, which is great for people who hate exercise like me – where the only thing worse than torture is mindless torture. With his targeted training, I’ve reduced my cramps, improved my flexibility and gained more stamina and strength in general.”

Joshua Tan, Entrepreneur

“I’ve certainly noticed physical differences, specifically increased strength and also more consistent form on skill-based exercises. But perhaps an understated change is just to be able to train on my own with confidence. 

I know I’m doing the right things if I’m following Shaun’s guide.”

Brandon Lau, Composer

“I’ve always thought that I’ll never be able to do Pilates but with Shaun, he made it very comfortable for me. He knows exactly what I need and he’s a great communicator as you just know where your legs and arms need to do with just him talking to me. He also explains what the exercises does to different parts of the body which really helps. 

I’m thoroughly enjoying my sessions although he tortures me sometimes but I know when he pushes he knows when to stop. The best part are the results, it’s only been about a month but I can feel improvement in my movements. Sometimes you just need to find the right instructor to make your exercise sessions enjoyable. And I’m so glad I found Shaun through a friend.”

Janet Yap, HR Executive

“Shaun has helped me stretch tight muscles and strengthen my weak points. He’s a very observant instructor and is very patient with me with more challenging exercises.”

Kimbra Powers, Librarian

“Shaun gives very clear instructions and is very careful when handling my shoulder. Ever since starting with him my posture has improved and my shoulder pain has gotten a lot better.”

Gordon Dao Corporate Executive

“Shaun makes movements easy to understand. He doesn’t dumb it down but he contextualizes them in ways that I like. 

His humor also helps take the pain away! He responds to questions with straightforward answers and is super positive so I always feel supported and I feel like his humor goes a long way!”

Josephine Gutierrez, Marketing Executive

“Shaun is a very considerate and responsible instructor. He would find out about my health concerns and needs before he tailored the lesson for me. It’s an enjoyable experience for me to have a lesson with him.”

Mertice Yap, Teacher

“Shaun is an excellent instructor. He makes Pilates enjoyable for newbies like me and my friends. He is careful and gives clear and concise instructions. He allows us to progress at our own pace. I would definitely recommend Shaun to everyone who is new to Pilates.”

Lay Phing, Corporate Director

“I came to Shaun because of shoulder pain that held me back from my training. Shaun has helped me get stronger and improved my technique in my lifts. Since working with Shaun I can actually feel my muscles work and my shoulder pain has improved. Sessions with him are very engaging and educational.”

Nelson Ng, Construction

“I’ve got a few key mobility exercises that I do consistently which have translated to a smoother feeling pull up. I also feel a better mind muscle connection for my squat after the form feedback. I feel very reassured knowing that I can get detailed feedback about my form when doing both familiar and new exercises- this makes me more confident when working out because I know that I’ll both get stronger over time and also keep my body injury free while doing so.”

Byron Dolon, Tech

“I came to Shaun to help me with my balance and arm pain. Now, I'm steadier on my feet and I'm able to move my shoulders without pain. I am very pleased with his patience, guidance, and motivation. I have seen little mice muscles appear, hoping they will turn into rats soon.”
