My journey

I started BODYCOMBAT in 2006 when I returned from Singapore for good.. At that time, I know nothing about martial arts particularly, having joined California Fitness Singapore for about a year while I was there.. I knew about workout and stuffs like that, but nothing about LesMills etc..

When I came back, a friend pulled me to join the classes.. From then on, I was hooked.. That time, it was BC35.. And the rest is history.. I decided to take up training in BC36, but somehow, something came up and prevented me from doing so...

I was dejected, and then I left the gym.. it wasn't until a year or so later when I finally gathered back myself and religiously follow a few classes a week, without fail...

Then the next opportunity came up during BC42 when I was coaxed by one of my former neighbour-turned-friend-turned-instructor-turned-buddy helped me and encouraged me to pick up instructing.. and BC43, I enrolled..

The rest is really history...

Never looked back since.. No regrets even though the investments were high.. I have a fitter body now, a more muscular built, a fresher outlook.. And I have also gained mass and weight.. All these thanks to the continuous trainings and workouts to keep fit..

My first breakthrough came when I was offered a permanent class in one of the neighbourhood gyms.. Even though the class is small averaging at 5 people, the gym pays the highest in the country.. There is no single gym that can match its pay.. On the contrary, Fitness First is known to pay the least in the country.. I am also in Celebrity Fitness but more functionning as replacement instructor because there's just too many instructors and not enough slots..

CF is opening two more clubs next year on the confirmed side, well whether or not I get a class in CF will depends largely on the senior aerobics manager.. will see how lah...

And now, I am also trained in CXWORX, another program by LesMills, focusing on the abs and core works..  Time being, only True Fitness Malaysia has CXWORX classes in the entire Asia region, and again, I am on the instructor panel but not given a class, priority rests with their in-house instructors first..

I guess, my journey has just begun... there's a long way to go, and every week I am refreshing my tracklists to alternate tracks each week.. and when I do that, it comes with hours of rehearsals, preparation, practicing, writing, timing, and lastly mop the floor when I am done..

Never once I tire of it.. it's just... fantastic...

If anyone of you aspire to be an instructor, just go for it - enjoy and have fun in the training, and before you know it, you're a whole new you!!

Trust me, I've been there, twice lol... only, but I can tell you something, it's worth going for it!!!
