As a fitness coach the first question people ask is what are my fees and when I tell them they usually can’t believe it. It’s like I’ve told them they’re going to die. “Seriously, you charge that much?” is a not uncommon response.
I charge less than a doctor so why pay him and not me? If you had paid me less initially you probably wouldn’t have to pay the doctor more now, right? Plus the time away from your job and all that time you’ll probably spend doing nothing. Plus medication, complications, mental health consequences etc etc.
All because you didn’t want to pay a fair price for your health up front.
Well that’s my opinion anyway.
My business is sickness PREVENTION. There’s a concept called the sickness-wellness continuum and that continuum is towards fitness. If you’re well, how do you measure that? Can you? No, you can’t. Can you measure fitness? Yes, in many ways and I have posted extensively about this previously.
People are highly impressed at my wealth of knowledge especially of fitness as it relates to health. As we get older it becomes imperative we do certain things daily and other things weekly to maintain basic human function.
It is alarming to me how many people are unaware of the need for this type of maintenance, without it the consequences are significant and general physical decline guaranteed. Illness and disease are the next cabs off the rank.
We are creatures of movement and our nervous systems, the various receptor sites, the smaller, deep muscles, connective tissues, larger muscles and bones are all working together in a single dynamic unit.
Note the word dynamic. We are organisms that function in a highly complex fashion with many moving parts all contributing to incredibly nimble, powerful and fluid actions. Any little kink in the chain results in interruptions to normal function. And this is the issue.
Once we’ve departed from “normal” we’re in trouble physiologically and the road back is long and arduous. We don’t want to go there!
My specialisations are in firstly screening for normal movement function, intervening in areas that are in dysfunction, rebuilding and then improvements in strength and conditioning.
This means for you losing weight, getting fitter, leaner and stronger, pain relief, joint and bone longevity and gaining all-round higher quality of lifestyle.
I’m a professional that prides myself on only the best outcomes for my clients. I turn over every stone and use a finely tuned systematic approach developed by myself over the past decade as I built Singapore’s most successful independently owned fitness business.
Please understand that you get what you pay for and quite frankly I see a lot of substandard offerings that at best may help in the short term. But at worst these can become a waste of time and money and may even contribute to long term health issues in chronic pain, joint and other physiological dysfunction. You can trust me when I tell you that I more often see bad squats, lunges, deadlifts and overhead pressing as opposed to good ones. This is a major problem for all the functional reasons already stated.
Stop guessing and start taking your fitness and health seriously – you get 1 chance!
