Q: How did your lifestyle or nutrition change during your journey?
" More discipline, even travelling. No strict diet but balance."
As I have built a good level of stamina and my muscles recover at a faster rate after each workout, I go for a workout class at least 6 times a week and my body feels stiff if I do not exercise for a day. As such, I think I have become more disciplined and stick to a diligent workout routine with a good mix of strength and cardio classes each week. It may sound slightly unhinged but I also ensure that I get in a good 45mins exercise at least every alternate day when I am travelling overseas. I guess it’s a healthy state of mind that I have developed. I also have a more balanced diet and do meal preps by myself (mostly protein and vegetables and meals with little sodium and oil) and I significantly cut my intake of sugary drinks/desserts. I believe that to reap the best benefits from working out, it is vital to have a well-balanced diet.
Q: What makes CHIMPCHAMP Fitness different from other studios?
" dedicated coaches, well ventilated, wide variety of classes, transparency in booking classes."
Firstly, I think what truly sets ChimpChamp apart from other studios is its coaches. It always amazes me how passionate and dedicated its coaches are. You can tell that they love what they do and teaching classes is not just to earn a paycheck. It is observable that they put in a great amount of time and effort to curate each class so that it remains interesting and well-paced for their trainees. The coaches are also patient, attentive and friendly. In fact, the coaches do track and discuss the progress of their regular trainees and work together to encourage their regulars in achieving their fullest potential. ChimpChamp also offers a wide buffet of classes suitable for different age groups, strength level, stamina level or goals/interests. This distinguishes ChimpChamp from other studios that typically offer only 1-2 types of classes which can become mundane after a while. There is also transparency in the booking of classes (first come first serve basis via the app) unlike other studios/gyms that set aside a notable number of slots for their regulars, making their classes exceedingly difficult to book. The equipment used at ChimpChamp are also from Les Mills, which are scientifically designed and user friendly. The studios at ChimpChamp are bright as well which improves mood and keeps energy levels high, unlike other studios that are windowless or not well-ventilated.
Q: What inspired you to take the first step toward fitness with CHIMPCHAMP?
" significant weight gain, feel tired easily.... workout was effective, coaches dedicated.. decided to work exclusively with Chimpchamp, never regretted since then."
Like many others, I was stuck in a loop of “working at home, eating, sitting down after eating and sleeping” in 2020 when COVID struck and Circuit Breaker was implemented in Singapore. For convenience, food choices were also limited to what was available on Grab or Foodpanda, which meant fast food or meals that were full of gravy, high in salt or sugar/carbohydrates. This led to significant weight gain as there was a high food intake but low burning of calories. I started to feel easily tired and winded and of course, I could see the change in my physique as well. In 2021, I decided to sign up with a gym but mainly used only the trackmill or the swimming pool to gain some stamina. This became rather mundane and was in effective in building muscles/losing weight. Hence, around 2022, I decided to explore a variety of workouts so that I can zoom into the workout(s) that best suited me. I started to go for classes offered by many different centres and did boxing, HIIT, circuit training and other strength development programs, and I think it was in late 2022 that my friends and I chanced upon ChimpChamp and we felt that the Bodypump class seemed interesting. We decided to sign up for the Bodypump class and were deeply impressed by the coach (Ms Tutik). She was enthusiastic, encouraging and passionate in what she does, which motivated us to check out other classes offered by ChimpChamp, including Tabata and full body workout. True enough, the other coaches were also highly dedicated, friendly and encouraging, and the workouts were effective in building stamina and losing fats/gaining muscles. This inspired me to have a more structured workout schedule at ChimpChamp and eventually, I decided to exclusively work out at ChimpChamp and signed up for its daily class pack. I have not regretted my choice since then.
Q: What benefits have you noticed since getting fitter at CHIMPCHAMP?
"... lost 10kg, confidence boost, drop 2-3 clothing sizes, feel less lethargic..."
I think that the most prominent change would be my physique. In fact, I lost about 10kg ever since I diligently work out at ChimpChamp and it was a boost to my confidence to drop 2-3 clothing sizes! Despite having some soreness in my muscles due to working out, I do feel less lethargic and more refreshed and energetic in general. I would also say that I have a more radiant complexion and feel more positive, perhaps due to the release of endorphins when exercising.
Q: Tell us something that can inspire the person who is still deciding to take the steps.
If you want coaches that believe in you, come to ChimpChamp!
Set aside your considerations/concerns, just come and try out the classes and you will DEFINITELY fall in love with them.

Q: What inspired you to take the first step toward fitness with CHIMPCHAMP?
"nothing beats being healthy and fit, become better versions of yourself, confidence"

" in poor shape, felt lethargic, tried other studios but couldn't stick to routine."
I was in poor shape and always felt dull & lethargic. Have tried classes in several other fitness studios but couldn’t stick to a routine. I tried ChimpChamp and found that the people & vibes here just hit different, and decided to really commit to better my fitness & health.
Q: Do you need to be on strict diet to be where you are?
"eating healthily 85% of time... still occasional treats."
Q: What benefits have you noticed since getting fitter at CHIMPCHAMP?
Short answer: No. I did reduce unhealthy habits like excessive snacking and ate less fried and oily stuff. Nevertheless, eating sufficiently and healthily 85% of the time still remains the cornerstone in my fitness journey (still got to enjoy the occasional treats! Everything in moderation)
"elevates your mood, gain confidence, improve my outlook towards life"
A: Nothing beats being fit & healthy. It elevates your physical well-being, your mood (literally endorphin generator!), and helps you become a better version of yourself. Personally, I gained confidence as I got fitter and more toned, and that in turn improved many other aspects of my life such as at work, in social relationships and my outlook towards life in general. My journey also inspired many others to follow, and that is a great takeaway as well.
Q: So why chose CHIMPCHAMP FITNESS?
"so many reasons! But I'll just say this: Heart."
A: So many reasons! But I’ll just say this: Heart. Coaches here truly go out of their way to make class experience great, putting their safety first, and giving encouragement. I’ve seen a coach who stayed back after the last class to guide a newcomer on their posture. Fitness studio owners who make it a point to make sure members have a great workout experience with top-notch sound systems, lighting, ventilation, efficient and clean equipment.. everything in CHIMPCHAMP is done with heart in the best interests of the members, to ensure they have an awfully good time working out safely too.
