Superstar John.. I had a golden opportunity to team-teach with him last weekend.. He's really awesome..
Melbourne - John Chew
Tommy K describes John Chew as one of the most promising rising stars he has seen. You may not have heard of John, but after witnessing (and hearing his inspiring story), it’s a name you won’t forget. John will be joining you Melbourne from Malaysia for BODYCOMBAT® 49.
It really is a great honour to be invited to Melbourne for the Super Workshop. It is beyond words to describe the excitement I have to be part of the Presenter team and look forward to taking my experiences from Australia back to the Asian team.
Here is John's Story:
It feels so surreal now looking at where I am today in comparison to where I was a few years back. It all started back in 2006 I when I was studying in college, an overweight guy weighing 90kgs. The picture below speaks for itself. I felt sluggish, energy deprived and found it hard to concentrate in classes. One day it just struck me that I wanted to change.
I joined Celebrity Fitness in Penang in 2006. I noticed the gym offered Les Mills group fitness classes. Having martial arts background I naturally gravitated towards the BODYCOMBAT®. After the first class I was hooked – if there was a BODYCOMBAT® class on I was there! Within three months I lost 15kgs from attending BODYCOMBAT®. I was euphoric! I never had such weight loss even during the years that I practiced my martial arts.
In September 2007, I decided to become a BODYCOMBAT® instructor because I saw the changes the program made to me and wanted to inspire others. I trained on release 33 under PK who was an inspiration as well as an amazing trainer. I passed BODYCOMBAT® module training and started teaching in Celebrity Fitness Penang in 2008.
A few years later the opportunity to audition for presenters came up and of course I jumped at the opportunity and submitted a video of 2 tracks. Within a month Les Mills informed me I had been selected for a live audition, I was ecstatic. At the audition I had the opportunity to present to Tommy Koutsonikolis. I waited anxiously over the months for the results to come…I was selected !!! The following next few months were exciting times preparing for Q1, 2011 in KL. I was honored and proud of being given the opportunity to present a track. It was an amazing event to say the least, the energy, the intensity, presenter team, the attendees, simply OUTSTANDING!
I look forward to many more opportunities to present in the following quarters and have now the opportunity to impact more lives. My goal is to continue to inspire others with my experience so that others too will inspired to change their lives for the better.
