TESTIMONIALS

“I’m enjoying my new exercise routine, which is helping me stay as healthy as possible for the future. I’m glad I prioritized my health and well-being, ensuring I can live my best life in the years to come.”

Aging comes with its share of aches and pains, and I’ve certainly felt them. Simple activities like getting up and climbing stairs have become more challenging. A big wake-up call was when I realized I could no longer do an Asian squat, which used to be so easy. Determined to improve my health and be more fit, I decided to take action.

At the end of last year, I signed up for Pilates classes and found them incredibly enjoyable. These classes have made me more aware of my posture and movements, encouraging consistent, small, daily changes to train and improve my reflexes. My goal is to build core strength, which I currently lack.

I’ve also been reading about sarcopenia, the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength that comes with aging and immobility, and learned that it can be reversed. This led me to discover the Senior Classes at Level, which seemed promising. I started the classes this year and have no regrets.

I’ve always been intimidated by fitness gyms, with their complex machines and super fit people. I felt shy because I didn’t know how to use the equipment and didn’t want to embarrass myself. However, it turned out to be okay. Farrah, the trainer, is warm, helpful, and a great motivator. While I enjoy the flexibility and comfort of working out at home, having someone at the gym to guide and encourage me has been invaluable. Farrah’s support in perfecting my form and pushing me to lift heavier weights has been especially helpful.

– Magdelene Ng (60 years)

“I have fibromyalgia that leaves my body in chronic pain & fatigue. Farrah’s training strengthened me, and to my pleasant surprise, even enabled me to reduce one of my medications!”

Each personal training session built upon the one before. Farrah made it a point to check in on my body at every session. She tailor-made exercises that I could continue practising at home, systematically correcting my posture, and strengthening my back and core. I felt more confident, hopeful and assured after learning & doing these exercises.

Farrah’s genuineness and adept skills gave me hope and belief that I can get better! I enjoyed how Farrah thoughtfully and skilfully approach training sessions, always thinking out of the box to help me.

Thank you, Farrah, for your concern and knowledge you demonstrated! 💖

– V Ng (50 years)

“After 6 months of dedicated training, I’m thrilled to share that my bone density has improved significantly – I have moved away from osteoporosis levels to now healthy bone profile in my lumbar, and only marginal osteopaenia in my lower limb! I also climb stairs with ease now, where I used to struggle with knee cap pain in the past.”

When I started working with my personal trainer Farrah, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. My main goal was to build strength, improve my bones and my overall fitness.

The tailored sessions and focus on strength training were instrumental in my progress. Farrah’s in-depth knowledge of exercise science is truly impressive. She takes the time to understand my unique needs, and customizes workouts specifically for my situation. Not only does she create effective training programs, but her insights into proper nutrition and lifestyle changes have also been invaluable in supporting my bone health.

I truly enjoyed the supportive atmosphere during our sessions. Farrah always kept the workouts engaging and motivating, which pushes me to improve my endurance and I appreciated the personalized attention and encouragement she provides.

I highly recommend Farrah to anyone looking to improve their long-term health and fitness. Training with Farrah is a highlight of my week; I genuinely enjoy every session! Her expertise and dedication can truly make a difference. I feel far more confident and stronger in my physical abilities and workouts in the gym!

Kudos to Farrah for being such an outstanding personal trainer! Her commitment to her clients, extensive knowledge, and motivational approach sets her apart in the fitness industry. I want to congratulate LEVEL for having such a remarkable trainer on their team.

– E Ng (61 years)

“Farrah is patient and continually adapts to my exercises. My recent annual health screen indicated healthy bone density and cholesterol scores for me again!”

I started personal training for osteoporosis and high LDL cholesterol management and did not wish to rely on medication. I was recommended Farrah for her track record and field of study, and am so thankful for the positive impact she’s made on both my health and mindset.

Beyond this, our sessions together have improved frozen shoulder symptoms and frequent neck and shoulder aches. I recently did an overseas hike and was overjoyed with my endurance! Thank you, Farrah, for believing in me and always respectfully pushing me beyond what I could achieve.

– S Koh (64 years)

“Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Farrah to anyone dealing with posture issues. It has truly changed my life for the better!”

I have been struggling with hunchback posture for some years, which affect my confidence level at times. Things have improved after I decided to enroll in a senior gym program to target on my hunchback issue, with exercises and personalized guidance from Farrah.

Throughout the program, I was impressed by her professionalism and knowledge. She tailored exercises to address my specific needs, I started to notice improvements within months where I could feel my back getting more aligned and more self-confidence. Of course, it wasn’t without challenges; maintaining motivation was tough at times, but the regular checks from her keeps me accountable and with a group of positive companions helps. My advice to anyone considering this path is to stay patient and consistent—progress takes time.

– A Heng (65 years)

“I initially struggled with mobility issues and arm difficulties, but Farrah’s focus on helping me regain mobility & build strength, especially considering my low bone density, has been remarkable. I have progressed to lifting heavier weights, which has boosted my confidence and prepared me for the long overseas hikes that I have been planning for this & next year.”

Farrah’s knowledge, motivation, and excellent guidance have been invaluable, keeping me motivated and pushing me towards my goals in a comfortable yet challenging manner. Her expertise and guidance have been instrumental in achieving results in phases, gradually conditioning my body for strength training. Training with Farrah has been an incredible experience fueled by energy and enthusiasm.

I like the flexibility of the sessions, allowing me to tailor them to my schedule. I am grateful to Farrah for kickstarting my strength journey and providing ongoing guidance to improve both strength and form. Her feedback & follow-ups on my “homework” ensure that each session builds upon the last, pushing me out of my comfort zone & making me stronger with each step.

I particularly like the setup at LEVEL Singapore – it is not overcrowded and the atmosphere is just right for focused workouts. I highly recommend checking out Level for personal training sessions. Thank you, Farrah, for your dedication and support!

“It was a very good session we learnt about good posture and functional fitness.”

Our children signed us up. It’s very important as you get older. We need to exercise regularly. Today’s session was fun and the group size was just nice.

– Wee Lee and Ah Mee (65 years)

“The session was good!”

I exercise six days a week – walking, cycling, swimming – but I have not done strength training before. Cardio is very easy for everyone, strength training less so. It is good to learn the techniques of strength training and which muscles to use. Also the functional use behind each exercise.

– Paul (72 years)

“The instructor was very friendly and helpful. It was very interesting to learn the right technique!”

Normally when we exercise at home, we do very chin chai. We were not scared of the weights and the rowing machine was very fun! We learnt something new today!
