Testimonials

“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! 💖

“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.

“With Farrah’s help, my lower back and neck pain have significantly reduced, and I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my energy levels, stamina, and body strength.”

I’ve been working with Farrah for several months, and the progress has been incredible. I have lumbar scoliosis and chronic neck and back pain, so my goal was to strengthen my back muscles and overall body strength.

What I love most about our sessions is how patient and attentive Farrah is. She offers great tips to help improve my posture and make the exercises more effective and fun at the same time. She’s always cheerful and encouraging, which makes every session enjoyable and keeps me motivated.

The sessions have also taught me the correct techniques and tools, so I can confidently take what I’ve learned to the gym and continue seeing the benefits on my own. I would love to have more sessions with her in the future. I highly recommend Farrah as a personal trainer!

– E Chan (39 years)

 

“Farrah explains the “why” behind every exercise, is encouraging without being pushy, and brings a friendly, approachable energy that makes sessions something I look forward to. I’m grateful for her patience, professionalism, and genuine care, and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trainer who truly listens, adapts, and inspires!!”

When I first started training with Farrah, my goals were to build strength and endurance for Hyrox and improve my weak pelvic floor. She also taught me to track my meals, energy levels, menstrual cycle, and workouts for a holistic understanding of my body.

Post-Hyrox, my focus shifted to fitting fitness sustainably into my weekly routine with compound exercises, while also correcting postural imbalances and improving mobility to strengthen my core, glutes, and mid-back after a lower back injury. Farrah spotted my limitations early and tailored each session to my needs, lifestyle, and progress.

Her ability to keep workouts challenging yet achievable has kept me motivated week after week. I’ve gained strength, stamina, and a better understanding of muscle engagement — especially for the female body! I now know how to “brace” and activate muscles to prevent injury, improve posture, and move confidently in daily life.

“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.

“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.

“I appreciate the fact that Farrah is encouraging, detailed in her explanations (she has a wealth of knowledge!) and brings with her the right energy level. I have truly enjoyed my personal training sessions with Farrah and have gained valuable lessons that I know will go a long way.”

I took up personal training with Farrah with the goals of managing/improving my lower back pain and ensuring that I build up a strong and proper foundation for strength training. She helped me identify postural issues which I previously wasn’t aware of, and taught me simple exercises I could do to correct them. She patiently guided me through various strength training exercises and really helped me improve my form. Farrah also made sure to focus on exercises targeting my weaker areas.

Thank you Farrah! 🙂

“I wholeheartedly recommend Farrah to anyone looking to start their fitness journey or improve their overall well-being.”

When I first started working with Farrah, my goal was to begin strength training to improve my overall fitness. However, I felt quite intimidated by the idea of going to the gym and didn’t know where to start. Farrah made a world of difference from the very beginning.

Her sessions were very engaging and educational. She tailored each workout to my needs, taking into account my plantar fasciitis and adjusting exercises based on how my body felt each day. As I began to explore new sports like football and table tennis, Farrah incorporated exercises that specifically benefited these activities, which greatly enhanced my overall fitness.

Thanks to her expertise and encouragement, I now feel significantly healthier and fitter. I’m also far more confident and comfortable in the gym, and I genuinely enjoy my workouts.

– Cassandra Koh (25 years)

 

“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 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!

“Training with Farrah has been an amazing experience given her extensive knowledge and bubbly personality, and I’ve definitely become stronger and improved my posture ever since.”

I signed up for personal training with the goal of building strength and improving body posture to ease lower back pain. She is a dedicated and dynamic trainer who adapts well to my changing body conditions, and I especially appreciate the helpful tips and tricks she shares during each session. Thanks for making every workout fun and engaging, and for helping me consistently improve towards my personal best!

“Thank you, Farrah, for helping me in my journey to look better in my wedding dress. I will also very much miss the Sunday morning sessions with you!”

I decided to take private PT lessons at LEVEL in preparation for my wedding after experiencing some amazing group lessons by the trainers at LEVEL at the end of 2023. With Farrah, I had a terrific time learning different strength exercises with her. As a non-regular gym-goer, I was not familiar with all the equipment and exercises, but Farrah made it so easy to understand, and lessons with her felt like learning from a friend 🙂 She also quickly corrected my form and took the time to understand which postures suit different body types best! In the span of 10 months, I can definitely see my body getting more toned, and I am also more confident about going to the gym in my own time! I would recommend anyone keen to kickstart their journey in the gym to go with Farrah.

“Highly recommend getting your parents / seniors to attend, as it’s a great environment and atmosphere for exercise, learning and socialising, and so important for seniors to build / maintain muscle for a better quality of life!”

Have been attending a range of LEVEL classes for several years now; all the instructors are generally very knowledgeable. I especially enjoy Farrah’s and Krystle’s classes as they are so enthusiastic, warm, friendly, attentive and always so so helpful. My mom has always been hesitant about strength training, but now loves going to Farrah’s senior’s classes regularly.

– Monica P

 

“Always enjoy Farrah’s class. Love her energy every morning.”

Have been going to LEVEL for almost a year. Farrah takes the effort to observe and correct your form when necessary. She goes the extra mile to provide alternatives when she sees you struggle or when certain workouts can be made more challenging for you.

– Olivia L
