Learning is a continuous process and it is necessary for excellence. After all, it has been estimated that in most fields, knowledge doubles every few years. Those who don’t learn get left behind. This is especially true in the fitness, and health arena. This week I will be off again to the Eleiko Barbell factory [...]

The Singapore health and fitness industry is (unfortunately) well known for scams, fakes and frauds in products and information. Unfortunately, much of this mis-information is passed along by well meaning people. But when it comes to your health, your fitness and your results, it can be hard to tell the truth from the fakes especially [...]

Just a few days ago, some “internet experts” commented that I shouldn’t always claim that the stuff I use is the best, and that I shouldn’t keep encouraging people to join our programs. I see a huge problem with this thought process. The basis of the success at my Singapore Personal Training Center, is, and [...]

I get many requests for “in home personal training“. I often turn down these clients because I won’t lie, training at home usually does not get the same results as training in a fully equipped gym like we have at the Genesis Performance Center. The reason for this – if you are on any decent [...]

At the Genesis Performance Center, we have one of Singapore’s only Far Infra Red Saunas. We got it several months ago and clients have had good benefits with it. As with any treatment, those who have the most “problems” benefit the most. Above is a picture of James, he has been a researcher in the [...]
