Personal Trainer Singapore – Coach Jonathan Wong

Do you think you would get a better workout in a park? Or at the best gym in Singapore?

Although the quality of the coach who designs your personal training or weight loss fitness program is the top priority, I would admit that the quality of your fitness program design is influenced by the tools available to the coach.

Imagine…If you only gave me a 5 kg dumbbell, I would run out of useful exercises faster than if you gave me a complete gym set up with the right mix of different dumbbells, varieties of barbells, lifting platforms, power racks, machines and accessories like gym balls, bands, lifting pins, grip training equipment, etc (oops that just describes my Gym in Singapore).

In my experience, it is almost impossible for a in home personal trainer or a fitness instructor who trains out of a condo gym or a hotel gym, or a community center gym, to match the results we get at the Genesis Performance Center.

Just think for a moment why this would be so?…They would need to match both my program design ability, knowledge of health, understanding of anatomy, thousands of hours of study and seminars, as well as have the right gym equipment to do the job! This is a problem because these gyms were not designed by a person with 16 years of drug-free training study and experience.

It is also hard for any outdoor boot camp in a park to match the results we get at our indoor fitness boot camp which fully utilizes all the equipment available to us. In fact one bootcamp member recently commented “I’ve tried all the other bootcamps in Singapore and yours is way more value” … well of course:) We only design good programs and will ALWAYS get the equipment needed to support it.

This year 2010 alone, I plan to spend much of our business budget on upgrading our equipment to continue to lead Singapore Gyms as the best equipped (with the most useful stuff!) so that I have the greatest variety of gym equipment, so that I can design the greatest variety of personal training fitness programs, so that I can help the greatest amount of people get the weight loss, mass gaining or sports performance goals they deserve.

When choosing a gym, like in the rest of life, there are three groups of people.

Those who read and make the right choice (check out the remainder of my Singapore fitness blog to read more!)

Those who observe others and make the right choice (check out our success stories on the Singapore fitness homepage, or the success stories page)

And those who “piss on the electric fence to learn for themselves” – unfortunately some people try other methods and places to try and get results but are disappointed, frustrated and upset. In the end, after some pain and unfortunate experiences, they end up at Singapore’s best Gym, The Genesis Performance Center.

Don’t be in the third group. Join our Singapore based personal training or fitness boot camp program today.

When the container arrived fresh from the port… and the shipping guys unloaded all the new equipment into our gym. Got to be honest… I didn’t really know what to do with the mountain of boxes. But we gotta start somewhere.

Thanks to my very helpful family and clients, we managed to get started and get finished so that the Genesis performance center is even better able to cope with the fat loss, strength training and performance needs of our clients.

Laying out the 35m indoor track was particularly hard! Rubber is insanely heavy and getting the big rolls into place was like doing strongman tire flips.

But in the end its all worth it, we now have more than 20 benches and 6 sets of dumbbells. Also we have 14 squat racks/power racks so that nobody has to wait for equipment. You will be surprised how effective workouts can be when you can stick to the required rest intervals.

So there we have it, the best private fitness center in Singapore just got better and it doesn’t stop here. I think and dream day and night of new things to learn and teach so that we can meet the needs of our clients better. Personal training for weight loss, fat burning and muscle building, as well as fitness boot camps are not the end of what we can help clients with. More and more coming soon.

We have been working hard over the past 2 weeks to get Singapore’s best gym, the Genesis Performance Center up and running! We are ready to go and are open for the business of helping Singapore residents burn fat, build muscles and perform to the best of their God given ability! Our personal training and fitness boot camps are going to be better than ever.

Building our olympic lifting platform - its beautiful!

Ready to roll at the Genesis Performance Center

I have just finished a phase of “cluster” training. Clusters are a fairly advanced training method that allows a person to do more repetitions at a higher weight than normal programs by taking short rests of 8-12 seconds between repetitions. I used this for the earlier part of my workout, going up to 155kg reps in the high bar back squat for sets of 5.

In this part of the workout just before Singapore ’s best gym, the Genesis Performance Center closed at night, I did 155kg x 4 rep Good Mornings, super setted with trap bar deadlifts working up to 240kg. It was not particularly hard, but the trap bar ran out of space to put more plates…

Thank God, things have gone well at the Genesis Performance Center in our current location. And there is not enough space, or equipment at peak hours. So we are moving up up up! Here is a picture of the new gym we will be moving into in a month’s time. It’s 4300 sq ft and that is my dad in there for scale:) – Nice garden, great carpark space. More details coming soon!
