As many of you know, I am working hard so that our clients get the best possible equipment. In fact by the end of 2010 the Genesis Performance Center Gym will be upgraded with lots of new and better equipment. One reason that I am upgrading our dumbbells is that we want the dumbbells to be increment-able in 1kg jumps (instead of the usual 2.5 or 5kg jumps). This allows for more progressive loading and thus better improvement in strength. More strength means better fat burning, weight loss and athletic performance for our clients.

On a slightly selfish note, the new dumbbells will have weights up to 75kg. The heaviest in any Singapore Gym or fitness training center. Why? Simply because I have personally outgrown the ones we have now. We have sets up to 50kg and they are pretty easy to lift. So for my personal progress as an athlete, new, better and heavier dumbbells are necessary!

Here is a video of me pressing 50kg dumbbells easily.

As you can see, for my personal training clients, and for myself, there should be only the best possible equipment!
