Singapore Fitness Coach: The best physique improvement tool ever

  • Better than the best training program
  • Better than the best nutrition plan
  • Certainly better than any slimming center or other "easy way out" fad
  • Better than the best coaching (gasp!)
It is a strong and positive community giving each other social support.

You are the average of the 5 people you hang around most with!

That is why Genesis Health & Performance clients train in groups. Social support is critical to success in fitness. It is VERY rare for people to succede alone. That is why I am so proud of our coaches and clients and the community we have.

Singapore Fitness Coach: Mental Toughness

I like competing and coaching sport. The MOST frustrating thing is mental weakness. Letting emotions determine play, fearing the opponent and the situation, getting affected by poor officiating, negative communication between teamates or between players and coach... all these are signs of mental weakness.

As a fitness professional I see the same things in clients. As coaches at my company Genesis Health & Performance, we help people overcome these mental and attitude difficulties as well as their physical ones!

Stuff like:
"I have to eat what my grandmother cooks" - and it's oily starchy food
"I don't have time to eat regular meals" - because my work is so stressful
"Training is tough!" - but you have to make up for the next 47 hours where you will be sitting at a desk!
AND SO on and on...

But there is nothing wrong with that. All top performers have coaches. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, etc. Having coaching is just a means to the correct end. Just like a good pair of running shoes or a better tennis racket.

How's your mental toughness?

Singapore Fitness Coach: Persistance (Green Eggs and Ham)


You know, part of being a coach is helping people push through tough times. Helping them to persevere and to be persistent.

Just like the Dr Seuss Book about green eggs and ham. "Sam I am" tells his friend all about green eggs and ham and how wonderful they are and asks his friend to eat them.

Over

and Over

and Over

and Over again...

16 times to be exact...

and finally his friend gives in!

How persistent are you with your fitness goals? A minor injury set you back? The diet didn't get you as lean as you had hoped? Your co workers are not supportive of your healthy eating?

16 times!

And you can even get somebody to eat green eggs.

Something to think about huh!
