Wrapping up Christmas presents and the year 2017

As we approach the tail end of the year, I’m sure many like myself will take some time to reflect back on the happenings and learnings from the past year. And 2017 has been an extremely significant one for me since the opening of Trium Fitness and finding a way to manage my family and the business while my husband is stationed overseas.

From the time we opened the studio’s doors till this day, I’ve learnt so much and it’s not just about running a business, but also managing relationships and expectations, about handling major stress and anxiety, and understanding the importance of connection. 
All too often we’re communicating, but are you truly connecting? As a teacher, I do make an effort to get to know my students and connect with them so they feel comfortable enough to tell me more about themselves and allow me to guide them through their fitness journey more successfully once I know where their weaknesses and strengths lie.
As a working mother of four girls, I don’t just call to check on my kids or spend time playing and learning with them when we’re together. I make a strong effort to spend 1 on 1 time with each child to truly connect with her especially since they all have such different personalities and preferences.

In this time and age where we are so dependent on the internet for information and convenience, we are also robbed of that connectedness with people around us. Kids are often given electronic gadgets to keep them occupied, friends and family sitting at the dining table might be looking at their phones instead of one another, and even newbies to yoga or something more complicated like aerial might be looking at YouTube to lean some fancy move instead of being taught the proper techniques in person by a teacher who can give adjustments according to the students needs and limitations. There is always a consequence to that......

I too am guilty of whipping out my phone and laptop when my kids and loved ones are around. But as I was wrapping Christmas presents this year and reflecting while I was at it, I will definitely be more mindful about that connectedness with those around me moving forward.

Looking back on this past year, I’m overflowing with gratitude for everyone who has supported and encouraged me on this journey to building Trium Fitness to what it is today. A place where I wanted to build a community of like-minded teachers and students who are on a journey of endless learning and development. This environment and community that I see today at the studio is what I envisioned at the beginning on the drawing board and seeing how our students have developed from being newbies to where they are now just makes my heart swell. 

From the bottom of my heart, I give thanks to all my friends, family, our Trium Fitness members, my students and acquaintances for all your support. May our next year in 2018 bring forth more value to everyone who comes to us. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all! ❤️

My Sculptra Journey with Halley Medical Aesthetics: Final Review (Fourth Visit)

Image
  Since the start of my Sculptra treatment at Halley Medical Aesthetics till the final review with Dr. Terence Tan , I must say I’m very impressed and the results exceeded my expectations. I should point out that I initially didn’t expect much work to be done and was just happy where I was. But the fact is, we don’t know what we don’t know. And that’s why there are experts right? Just like how I’d tell my clients and students that the aches and pains that they feel every day is not normal although they tell themselves that its part and parcel of getting old. I now appreciate so much of what Dr. Terence Tan pointed out to me the first time I stepped in for the first consultation. Because looking at the pictures from my final review months after I did the treatment, I was really blown away (in a good way) with the results. Take a look at where I started and the end result now. I think the images speak for themselves. Before Treatment             ...

Meridian Facelift at Body Inc.

Image
Nothing beats getting a pampering session done at the end of a long workday. But if it’s one that gives you a face-lifting effect, I think that right about makes it one of the best ways to end the day! I had the chance to receive this pampering treatment at Body Inc. where we were also introduced to the line of products used and carried by the brand. Within their product line is the Happy Series blended oils which are specially formulated using natural and organic remedies.  I got to use the Happy Lash blended oil which not only  removes eye makeup effectively, but after using the oil for the past few days I can actually feel how it doesn’t dry my skin like regular makeup remover does, and it nourishes my skin at the same time. What’s even better about this oil that is rich in Vitamin A, E and Omega-3 is how it also promotes lash and eyebrows growth!  Jacelyn demonstrating the use of the Happy Lash blended oil. Can’t get enough of this blended oil that’s so good for my la...

The IDS (Innovative Dermatological Solutions) Journey - Third Visit

Laser Treatment with IDS Clinic  Isn't it true? When we see an improvement to our skin over time we can get into the mindset that its good enough and that's the routine that we need to stick to. Contrary to that, our skin is constantly ageing and taking longer to regenerate as we get older. So once in awhile, a little something different can help us potentially see more improvements.  I've never been one for lasers before, and my first time experiencing it was with IDS Clinic this year. Yes I'm in my 40s already and why haven't I tried it you might ask? Well, I'm a chicken when it comes to having laser treatments on my face. Maybe its the scary stories I've heard from the time I was younger, but yeah, that's really the main reason why I never tried it before. Till Dr. Ian Tan from IDS Clinic recommended it as my treatment on my third visit here.  Quite honestly I was a little scared and skeptical, but he assured that it would not be uncomfortable. So ...
