Testimonials – FIT Asia | Advancing Fitness Education

I must say - the last 2 months - were certainly a blast. I enjoyed the intensity of the training and learning new skills. I appreciate both the instructor’s training and how she continued to develop as a confident trainer over the 2-month period! I will definitely recommend this course to my friends and colleagues.

Charlene has been an amazing coach. She has been extremely motivating during each training session. She strives to understand the needs of the client before commencing the programme. She goes the extra mile to customize the session based on how the client is feeling as well. Each session is fun and of course tiring. Hard work pays off and it is important to have a good connection with the coach. Charlene has an uplifting energy about her that makes the client feel motivated and positive. Charlene has allowed me to achieve more than what I thought I could in the past 6 months.

My personal goal was to be able to work out at the gym independently, which was exactly what Berlis taught me, at the same time becoming fitter and stronger. She is very meticulous and ensures that you get the best out of your time in the gym (ensuring that your form is right at the same time) which is what I really like about her. Also, I love that she is also very objective when it comes to goal setting, making sure that you are setting goals that actually can be achieved. Berlis is also knowledgeable and taught me a lot about nutrition and the proper way to engage the muscles. 11/10 would recommend 😊

Engaging Viviane for personal training has been the best decision made in my fitness journey. Her approach to strength and mobility training might not be the usual conventional methods you see, but her program has helped me tremendously in my workouts, and best of all, PAIN-FREE. My posture and range of movement have improved, which makes exercising fun again.

I was happy and satisfied to have Eric as my PT. He was one of the most passionate trainers I have come across, giving 101% of his dedication to train himself and his client. Not a single training session is boring as he is very energetic and optimistic in every session. After the first 13 sessions with Eric, I could see improvement in my workout posture and managed to lift heavier weights, as well as build up muscles. Even my friends and colleagues could see the difference. I also persuaded my girlfriend to join me for buddy training, and she could too, see the difference in her posture and salsa dance practice.

Usually I get intimidated and have high inertia in starting anything, but Kareen's programme for me has made it so approachable and easy! I love how someone as unfit as me could do the exercises and still experience the positive outcomes after my first baby.

Leanna

Joel is the first ever PT I worked with and he helped to design a strength training program to start my fitness routine. I’m really impressed with his work ethic & professionalism. He’s very attentive to his clients’ goals & takes special note on any special conditions his clients are facing. He even gave me tips on how to plan my own exercise routines independently from him! He truly believes in empowering his clients to take their fitness into his own hands! Communication with him is always prompt via text and I thank him for being patient with me at the start!

Jemma

Anatomy Live is an absolute must do opportunity! It’s an unforgettable experience that confirms and reminds us how important it is to challenge our beliefs and continue to learn. It opened my eyes to the interconnectedness of all our systems and will positively influence how and what I train with clients into the future.

Phil Timmons

This was exactly what I needed to help me serve my members in a way that is based on longevity and health, and take my business to the next step.

Rachel Seay

It was an amazing and challenging learning experience! I have a better understanding of how to serve others, and a better coaching strategy to help clients live healthier, more balanced lives. Thank you so much!

I just went through your Web site, IoM, I am very impressed. You really have gotten a handle on biotensegrity, and nice slides. Thanks for help in spreading the word.

I learned so much information at your 4 Hr seminar yesterday at Columbus Circle Equinox. Probably the most useful info I have heard in a long time.

Dear Dexter, It was a pleasure attending your course last Saturday. I come to the class with an open heart and mind, and honestly did not know what to expect from it. The reason I attended this course was due to the instructor was Mr Dexter. After I attended this one day course, I wanted to say I will highly recommend it to all. The flow of the course was well structured. It started out with understanding ourselves, what our strengths and weaknesses are. I then began to realize that understanding oneself benefits both ourselves and our clients. Slowly, the course also brought my vision wider to what was happening around us and how we could use whatever resources we had on hand to reach out to our goals and at the same time helping our clients reach their goals during this Covid 19 situation. Lastly, there were the motivational interviews, learning styles and cue lessons which I could put into use. The reason why I wanted to recommend this course to all was the in depth details of the course. There were a lot of self reflection points for one to think about. I must say I do agree that the more I learn, the more I don’t know and this brought me to keep learning so I could benefit not only myself and also my clients. I also learnt how to build rapport with our clients. That’s was being the authentic Me and kept being genuine curious towards my clients. Once again,my heartfelt appreciation that Fit Asia offered this course to me and Mr Dexter for delivering such insightful lesson.

“What sets Dexter apart is his keen effort in building his personal knowledge, as well as the willingness to share it. As a personal trainer, he goes above and beyond to ensure his clients (myself included) are training well, dieting sensibly and resting sufficiently. I am a testament to Dexter’s commitment – lost 10kg after I started training with Dexter, and have kept the weight off for the past 12 years. His passion for the industry is evident too – frequently flying to guest speak at conferences and conducting master classes for other PTs regionally. Dexter sets a new bar for his responsibility, trustworthiness and knowledge as a trainer.”

Justin Ong, Strategy & Partnerships, SPH

“Dexter is loyal, hard working and tenacious with a high degree of integrity and commitment. I always found him to be someone who always gives his best and attacks not only his own personal goals but the team’s goal with a real sense of purpose and spirit. He is a fantastic team player and often is the guy who rallies and gels the team with his energy. A man of strong faith, balanced with real world practicality and intuitive perception. I count him as a true friend and would highly recommend him to anyone or any organization.”

Dean Wantenaar, Director of Operations, Western Region (Saudi Arabia)

“As someone who is relatively new to the fitness industry, this course has definitely let me realized that there is so much more to fitness than just being fit. The Positive Psychology – Character Strength test has made me understand myself a little bit more and allowed me to re-think on how I can better coach and train my current and future clients. With us being in this current situation where most of us are conducting classes online, the provision of the right internal and external cues is important as well. I especially liked that we had a practice session on how to cue various exercises. It is a course that I’d enjoyed and will definitely recommend it to anyone who’s looking to keep themselves ahead. Looking forward to more new courses by Fit Asia”

Ever since I started on my fitness journey 6 years ago, my commitment to living a healthy lifestyle has been a non-negotiable. I realized there is a deeply fuelled passion in me, and I can make a meaningful career by joining the fitness industry. I enrolled for the PTDP (ACE-CPT) course with FitSG, because their professionalism really stood out. Edgar and Emilie did a wonderful job in explaining the course outline and shared their experiences in career advancements. The course structure was well developed; there was sufficient theory and practical lessons to ensure a thorough understanding of how to apply the relevant knowledge in real life. Head instructor Dexter leads by example, and is incredibly inspiring with his depth of knowledge and enthusiasm in educating the next generation of fitness professionals. Many thanks to FitSG, for this amazing learning experience. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is keen to broaden his or her fitness knowledge and attain a well-recognized certification.

As someone who has always been active and involved in competitive sports since primary school, it is no doubt that fitness plays a major role in my life. With my growing passion in sports and fitness, as well as my hope to inspire and help individuals to meet their fitness goals, I signed up for the PTDP / ACE-CPT course with FIT Asia. The PTDP equips me with the right knowledge and skill set to plan training programs and provides a comprehensive training (theoretical and practical) leading up to the ACE examination. The educators are dedicated in providing the best learning experience for everyone and I’m thankful for Emilie for she has taken time off to revise with me prior to my ACE exam. The course not only helps widen my knowledge in fitness, I have also met like-minded people who shares the same passion. Thank you, FIT Singapore, for providing the best learning experience and I highly recommend this course to anyone who’s looking to expand their fitness knowledge!

Nothing Beats having a portable handheld IASTM Smart Tools as a Manual Therapist and Trainer, myself. The IASTM Smart Tools enables me to effectively address my clients’ scar tissue yet breaking down any possible facial restrictions. It is proven by many of my clients who were injured to achieve a faster recovery and a better outcome for acute and chronic conditions such as Achilles Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, IT Band Syndrome, Trigger Finger Syndrome or Lumbar Strains. I love each of the different IASTM Smart Tools as they are designed to work into unreachable angles in which conventional manual handwork therapy can’t. It helps to maintain an optimal range of motion and injury-free for Athletes who are constantly pushing their bodies at their peak. Thank you to FIT Educator, Dexter Tay for his effective coaching on the fundamental and practical usage of the IASTM Smart Tools! I will strongly recommend this for all Trainers/ Rehab Practitioners out there who cares for your clients’ recovery to achieve a better performance results.

I am a fitness trainer and FIT Asia has always been my first choice fitness education provider. Their courses’ venues are well located and courses preparation are always well organized. In particular, I have always enjoyed courses from the FTI as the valuable knowledge I gained from them not only help to enhance my fitness knowledge but most importantly, to impart them with proper cues to gym members and clients alike.

Lee Yi Ping

I was already leading my own Ladies Bootcamp / small-group fitness classes but after attending and completing SGT Ken Boot Camp Instructor & Mentoring course, I could see myself conducting my groups and personal training with more confidence and physically resilience. I am entrusted with the responsibility for other's well being, I will lead by example and never provide training that I cannot perform myself. Thank you SGT Ken for all the encouragement and sharing your knowledge throughout the course and Fit Asia for the opportunity. Hooaah! Never stop LEARNING, because LIFE never stop TEACHING

Nooryani Abdul Talib

IASTM Smart Tools course exceeded my expectations. Dexter Tay was a great instructor who communicated with ease and explained things clearly, and the content of the course itself is very useful and easy to put into practice. The results in terms of extra range of motion gained are visible very quickly with even 1-2min working on a muscle and it was just so impressive. Can't wait for level 2.

André Correia

Most of the programs I have attended at FIT Asia are hands-on, and thought-provoking that left me inspired; feeling much more empowered with many actionable take-aways I can apply immediately! The information and acquired skills learned in the workshops enhanced my knowledge and bring value to my clients. As the science, technology and fitness industry is always evolving, it's good for one to keep building on the knowledge and share after learning. This is what FIT Singapore allows me to to achieve in a wide range of fitness topics!

Prior to taking sgt ken bootcamp course, I lacked confidence and the technical know-how to lead a small group fitness class. It provided me great depth of knowledge in functional fitness programmes, safety and proper form, circuit training & partner assisted drills and games. In short, I learnt a repertoire of set-skills to which raised my confidence and motivational level. Sgt ken was a great role model and I learnt from him how to effectively engage the partipants thru appropriate vocal control, eye contact, music, showmanship, verbal instructions and cadence calling. I came as a novice and left as an expert group trainer! This course was definitely a game changer for me. I have no problem handling any group fitness now. A good example was a mass walk event organised by the Spore Cancer Society in April this year. As a recent cancer survivor cum a fitness bootcamp trainer I was given the honour to lead a 10-12 min warm-up session for about 350 odd participants..mainly 50yrs and above. Though I was out of action for one over year due to my cancer treatment...I felt at ease handling such a big crowd of seniors by using the set skills which I learnt from the Sgt Ken level 1& 2 senior bootcamp instructor course. The positive feedback I got from the participants and the organisers were really fabulous. I would not have being able to pull off this huge workout without the solid foundations instilled in me from the course..Thank you Sgt Ken and thank you Fit S'pore for giving me the opportunity to do this course. I am hoping you will able to bring in Sgt Ken's Master Trainer bootcamp course soon.

'As someone wanting to change my career to become a Personal Trainer, I went to Fit Asia to gain more knowledge about the Fitness Industry. I've completed a Weight Loss Specialist Course, and now a Kettlebell Course with them. Not only have I learned invaluable knowledge and physically impressive skills with Fit Asia, but also my confidence has grown and I've met some amazing people. Their staff are incredibly helpful and supportive; the courses are well structured, planned and executed to a high level. I have more courses booked and I'm planning on doing even more! Every course with Fit Asia is a pleasure and I'm more than happy giving up weekends to learn the skills and theory taught by the amazing tutors they have and bring in to educate us. Could not recommend highly enough if you want to expand your Fitness knowledge and skill set.'

Frankie

Since becoming a stay-at-home mum of 2 young children, my mindset about exercise has shifted from something I should do to something I absolutely need! Whether you’re in a stressful office job with demanding work hours or a stay-at-home mum like me, fitness has a role to play in all of our lives – but you have to enjoy it….that’s where the magic happens. After almost 10 years of living and working in Asia, in Singapore I’ve been able to turn what has pretty much been a lifelong passion for fitness into an exciting career change. So with the support of my family I finally took the plunge and signed up for my ACE PT certification with FIT Asia. I really enjoyed the course. It equipped me with all the know-how so I can design effective programs that are suitable for range of client fitness levels. And it wasn’t necessarily just about passing the exam either – the tools we walked away with I know I will always refer back to in my career as a trainer. I’m also passionate about helping women achieve their fitness goals at various life-stages, so I also recently enrolled in the Women's Fitness Specialist course - which was really insightful. I’ve since joined an awesome team of trainers at Momentum Bootcamps and am excited and honoured to have the opportunity to help others live better, while training in stunning tropical locations around Singapore. Bring it on!

Taking the Certified Exercise Instructor Course refined my techniques for coaching and spotting the basic movements of our body. Being able to learn from such an experienced instructor as Jerrican, who personalised the experience to each individual participant added to the wholesome experience of the course. The detailed and structured learning provided me with skills and tools to better coach my participants in the future. I have already enrolled on the Master Functional Trainer Program and am signed up for the Functional Aging Specialist Course too! Singapore covers all my training needs!

Freddie

The course at FIT Asia for Training Pregnant and Post-Partum clients course is very insightful and made me more aware and knowledgeable as a Free Lance Personal Trainer on how to programme workouts for such clients as well as the the do's and don'ts considering hormonal and other changes throughout the body. The live workshop conducted by their Educator was a blast and it made a real difference! I highly recommended this course for those wanting to specialize in this womens fitness and work with this complex population!

Eugene

Being a Personal Trainer in India ,attending the ACE CPT course in Singapore gave me a wide range of skills that helped me understand my clients and their needs. Mr.Jerrican Tan an outstanding master of his craft, he made sure the students understood the concepts and techniques in theory and practical sessions. Personally I look forward to attending many more programs by FIT Asia.
