He is meticulous and detailed about movement mechanics, striving for proper technique and execution all the while keeping his classes energetic and fun. Coupled with his background in music, he stays on the beat and never misses a beat.

Leo Chan
Les Mills BodyPump Instructor
I always believe nobody hates exercise. It is just that they have not found their own willpower to push themselves take the very first step. I’m a one who easily loses perseverance in doing something in a long term run. I started to join Group Exercise classes since more than 10 years ago, and it never failed me to keep coming back again. The music, the guidance from instructor, the atmosphere with everyone in the class plays a part to create, always give me a strong energy to keep pushing my own limits in the workouts. This was how I started my fitness journey and most importantly is keeping the “never-give-up” mindset going on and on.
Schedule:
Saturdays, 3.00-4.00pm @ Novena
Benedict Sim

I started Les Mills Bodypump in 2018 and was wowed by how fast and effective the class was.

Now happiness comes from seeing participants enjoying the workout, moving with me together with the rhythm and getting closer towards their fitness goals.
Schedule:
Thursdays, 7.35-8.35pm @ Novena

who is always eager to learn new things. I first trained in Les Mills BodyCombat but switched to another extreme which is not related to martial arts at
all – Les Mills BodyJam and Les Mills Barre! What I love the most about Les Mills BodyJam & Les Mills Barre is the experience to connect your body with music, dance and just let it out.
This has been my focus in teaching every class – to share that same experience with class members! Apart from getting members to workout, at the same time having fun while grooving to the music is the key 🙂
