He wants me to "toughen" Jeremy so that he will do well in the army training. I was delighted to accept his offer to proceed for 30 sessions package.

- End Nov ; 24 reps (71% improvement)

Karthik wrote me the below testimony after completing his 10 sessions with me during his summer break in Dec, 2012. It is my pleasure to help him achieve his fitness objectives :-

Testimonial:
Name: Karthik Siva
Age: 21
I was recommended Calvin from my mother and my cousin who were previous client.
I am currently studying in Uni abroad. So there is little or no time to train in the gym when the workload increases.
Therefore, over the summer break I came back to Singapore to lose all the weight I had put on over the year.
My goal was to reduce weight from 77 to at least 75 and at the same time put on some muscle.
Over the span of 10 sessions I was able to achieve this goal. But I must say that the first few sessions was quite hard for me when it came to endurance exercises but 3 sessions later there was a significant improvement. On the treadmill, interval training and inclined running was one of the most exhausting exercises but the most rewarding at the end of the day. I'm now set off in the right track to maintain and improve my fitness.

Cheers,
Karthik

He was particularly weak in his fitness and stamina when he started training. Thus, I embarked him on a Fat Loss cardio and Circuit Training program.

<<<<< I've been on trials with other trainers before but my first session with Calvin was so enjoyable that I signed up 20 sessions with him immediately. He's the kind of trainer that motivates you through understanding of your unique physique and working to your own limitations, rather than the kind who pushes you no matter what your body conditions is. To me that is very important element when selecting a personal trainer. Everyone is different and therefore needs different intensities of training. Calvin is a trainer who understand and embraces this fact and I'm happy to be training with him regularly. If you are someone like me who didn't enjoy exercising regularly, you will definitely change your mentality once you start with Calvin. Now everyone notices my leaner and more toned physique and it's all thanks to Calvin ! >>>>>

If i start going to the gym for 30 mins the days I dont train, the weight is going to come off faster. You are right about being firmer and my tummy is way smaller and less than flabbly than when I started. I'm happy. I'll rev it up abit when I get back by going to the gym more often and staying off the sweets and fats. See you on 20th feb. >>>

" My Dad hired Mr Chew to improve my posture as I was walking with a slight hunchback. I also want to improve my fitness during the school holiday in Nov / Dec while waiting for my GCE "O" level results.

At first when i started training with Mr Chew, i struggled alot after the exercises and felt tired. My hands are not stable while doing push ups. I had a full body ache for the next 3 days.

After a few sessions, my stamina and fitness level improved alot and became stronger. My posture also became better. Now my recovery is faster and not so aching.

Overall, I find Mr Chew's training routine effective in helping me become stronger. My muscles are bigger also. He also advised me to increase my eating portion and eat a balanced meal. Thank you Mr Chew"

Testimonial # 56 - Body Toning Program - 28th Oct, 2010 ; Allison Ching, 26 years old; Sub-Editor at Reuters Spore.

Hi Calvin,

It was a very enjoyable time having you as my personal trainer for the past 20 sessions.

My physique was in a good shape and my body fat was in a good range. However, I wanted to become stronger, toner and with better defined arms and legs. Therefore I decided to invest in a personal trainer to learn more about weight training and to keep me disciplined.

After a few sessions working on lower body, I begin to feel the changes, my thighs and glut have become a lot more toner and by the end of 20 sessions, with weightlifting and cardio, my lower body have become much much more defined and my upper body have gotten a lot toner too. The exercises were varied so one won't feel bored. I have learned a lot about using different machines and I felt independent and confident about venturing out to weight train on my own.

Besides training, the advice Calvin gave me on intake for meals are very useful as it complements with weight training. Initially i found it really hard to reduce my intake and switch to high protein, low fat food but gradually, after a few weeks of attempting, I began to appreciate the new diet and have kept to it since.

Overall, it was money, time and effort well-invested. I have began to carve out an exercise regime and will incorporate it into my lifestyle along with a good diet, in addition to gaining a new friend in Calvin. :)

Testimonial # 54 - Fitness Improvement Program ; (Above) Miss Ling Jy, IT Manager, June, 2010

" I put on quite a number of Kilos after my graduation and work as an IT professional and spent most on my time sitting in front of the PC. As a result, i was putting on weight and my clothes became 1 size bigger. So i started my routine exercise (twice per week running on treadmill for 50 minutes) and having balance diet (more rice & vege, less meat). However, the result was disappointing.

I was desperate and almost wanted to accept that I got no way to get my idea shape. However, Calvin has shown me the way to achieve my goal. We met twice per week for an hour workout. Instead of the boring treadmill running which make me feel like a running hamster, Calvin designed different combination of exercises which made the session interesting. I was amazed by a better bodyline just in 10 sessions.

Training with Calvin not only helps me to achieve weight loss and body shaping but also transformed my lifestyle. My perspective of exercise has changed from "try hard" to "enjoy".

Testimonial # 51 Weight Reduction Program, Feb, 2010

Good afternoon Calvin,

It is my pleasure to say that you have been a great motivator in transforming my fitness level and lifestyle during my personal training with you.

I remembered I hired you as my personal trainer in year 2005 for the Fat Reduction and Weight Management Program. It was a success where I lost 5 kg and 2 inches off my waistline in less than 1 month. I also lost another 3 kg in the subsequent package.

Having achieved my training objectives and becoming more confident, I signed up a gym membership to train on my own. (thinking that I can save all the training fees for my overseas trips and shopping expenses)

I managed to maintain my weight for the next 2 years and in early 2009, I gained 8 kgs due to work-related stress and poor eating habits. I became tired easily and my health deteriorated.......and I always have excuses not to go to the gym for training.

I had told myself that I am not going back to my "old self" and subsequently contacted you to be my personal trainer again.

This time round, your training routines are more intense than before; working out my whole body with your body weight circuit training, interval training and resistance training. I like very much the circuit training that you had designed for me.

Right now, I am very pleased with the results and i wish to thank you, again.

By the way, i am very surprised that your training rates remain unchanged since 2005.

Testimonial # 50 - Ms Maggie Yo, after 20 sessions - 23rd Nov, 2009

Dear Calvin,

It has been a blessing having you as my personal trainer. In a short span of 2 months, i have went through physical and mental change under your close supervision and I am really pleased with what i have achieved so far.

Lack of time and motivation have always been the most common excuses in procrastinating exercise. However, i never had the thought of postponing any session with you. Even though i train 3 times a week, you always have a vast variety of exercise and plans to keep me occupied at each session and time always flies during the training. I never could believe that exercise can be fun and interesting but you made me change the whole perception. I enjoyed every single lesson and it was a different learning experience each time.

Not only have i witness physical change to the bulges that i have previously, i am also pleased with my fitness level. From someone whom hates doing the treadmill with endurance less than 5 mins, i can conquer 2.4 km in less than 15 mins now. All the exercises in the gym which i never touch before, i can do them more. To me, this is a achievement which could not have been possible without you there to encourage me.

You are a trainer and friend very different from the rest. You are there to give training a different view and coach people to be independent. To me, you are there as an educator and show people how exercise can be beneficial and enjoyable. It is the commitment and passion that makes you such a great trainer. Even when i reach my goal, i will still continue as long as i can.

Thanks and regards,
Maggie - late 20s ( Executive ) - 23rd Nov, 2009

Hi Calvin,

Thank you for helping me break the long and dreaded plateau.

My case potentially was a bit uncommon for you as having already lost significant weight by cardio, I had hit the dreaded P – in terms of weight as well as size for a number of months, despite burning over 1500 calories every day, 7 days a week.

I had many anxieties before starting training with you as in my previous personal training experiences – I was subjected to resistance training programs that made me bulky and was in general opposite to my objectives. Your training was like a breath of fresh air – very different that other trainers and customized to fit my specific needs. In only nine sessions I have started training with you following are the changes I have already experienced:

- I have dropped inches after many months. In a way you have contributed to Singapore economy as I had to shop for new clothes J

- Introduced to exercise that has more impact in much lesser time I was spending at gym. Not only this saved time for me but is putting less impact on my joints

- Multiple Joint Metabolic Resistance exercises that you introduced are making me stronger without making my body bulky

We have made a good beginning together, I am looking forward achieving my goal of being under 24 BMI with your guidance.

Regards,

Amitabh

Testimonial # 38 - Weight Management Program (above Photo)

Mrs Kumar (CFO) Jan, 2009

I would like to personally thank Calvin for taking me in his personal training program. The program has been great so far.

I have been working out on the treadmill for a few years now but have not been able to see much results in terms of weight loss, or better shape and toning…Also I was short of breath whenever I climbed 3 levels to my walk up apartment.…I had been observing Calvin training someone at the gym and was amazed by his commitment, passion and personal attention and the detail oriented well rounded training. I decided to approach him to train me and Calvin did not immediately jump at the idea of getting on a new client. He wanted a few days to check his calendar and get back to me. He got back to me after a few days and we started the program. He went about methodically assessing whether I required a personal trainer and sought a firm commitment in terms of adhering to the training schedule – whether during the personal training sessions or otherwise. He also clearly explained that there is no magic formula for reducing weight or gaining muscles or improving fitness and it takes a lot of hard work and discipline over a year or so before one can achieve the desired results. He set out the time-bound objectives clearly at the beginning of the program. I signed with him for the Program sometime in Oct ’08 and I have since been training with him on weekends. I have never met a more passionate, committed personal trainer. He has never been late to even one training session despite his busy schedule. He is extremely focused & motivates me constantly. Over the last 3 months, I have gained significantly in terms of strength and stamina. I have also lost a little bit of weight and my body looks better toned than before. More than anything else, I feel very good and definitely have lots of energy. Calvin helps me with professional advice on diet, nutrition and variation to my exercise routine to have more control over the body. I hope to continue with him as my personal trainer for a long time to come since I see great benefits. He uses a multi-pronged strategy like cardio, resistance training, strength training, weight training, etc to deliver a sustainable long-term gain in overall health, well-being and appearance. I recommend his personal training to anyone who is serious about health and well-being and looks.

Testimonial # 37 - Weight Management Program (Nov 2008, above photo)

Thank you so much, Calvin !

When we 1^st started in July 08, I had been confined to bed for medical reasons for many weeks, and consequently was really unfit ! Paul also had medical problems, dealing with diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. Yet even with our circumstances, you tailored an appropriate exercise regime and health-plan that has catapulted us back to health ! We have certainly come a very long way in the less than 20 individual sessions we’ve had with you ! From being barely able to fast-walk on the treadmill for 5 min, to now being able to use the elliptical trainer at max resistance/gradient for over an hour ! Paul’s blood tests have all normalized, and his tummy is significantly reduced ! As for me, thanks to you, I have enjoyed the excuse to go shopping since most of my clothes no longer fit, after having lost about 7 kg and many cumulative cm !

You have not only been our personal trainer, but have truly become a personal friend !! You have whipped us into shape, encouraged us when we were struggling, motivated us when we were tempted to slack off, and now, you are rejoicing with us over the wonderful results ! We could not have done this without your expertise, professionalism, compassion and warmth ! Thank you once again !

Ergo, I believe I have made a good choice to choose Calvin as my personal trainer."

Testimonial # 32 - Body Toning Program, June 2008 (above photo) Beatrice lost 7kg within a 6 month period.

Hey Calvin,

It's now my 19th session with you and just over 2 months since I started a new lifestyle. Although I've never been overweight, I've been pretty much a weekend warrior since leaving school and possess eating habits that friends would cringe at ! I lacked stamina and a flabby tummy was developing (not to mention the cellulite that's built up over the years) You're now the reason I pull myself out of bed at 7am :) In Apr 08, I could barely run halfway up a gentle slope of less than 100m. Now I can make it up with just a measure of effort, muscles are defining and the cellulite is distinctly disappearing. Fat composition has come down and I'm putting less strain on the weighing scales.

Allow me to take this opportunity to thank you for the discipline you've instilled in me in both training and nutrition and for sacrificing your own sleep to make my life a healthier one. I also appreciate your immense dedication, accommodating my unpredictable schedules and making your way to less than ideal locations halfway across the island.

I look forward to many more sessions with you and continuing to have you as that voice of conscience to remind me to keep on this healthy path!

Thanks once again! Beatrice Tang, Lawyer, 5th June '08

Testimonial # 31 - Muscle Bulk-Up Program June 2008

" I was searching for a personal trainer who is experienced, committed and successful to beef up my body as I was too lean. I chanced upon Calvin's website and was impressed. I called him up for a consultation at the gym and he was generous to share with me the training and eating routines that will meet my objectives. His reasonable rates prompted me to sign up 20 sessions immediately. Over the next 3 months, his customised training plan worked well and my muscles became bigger and defined than before. I received many compliments that I look more macho from my male and female friends. Thanks very much, Calvin ! "

I have never felt fitter and stronger in the last 43 years (not even when I was doing NS) until now!

I enjoyed the training sessions with you as you were focused in our training to get what I want.

Secondly, I like the way we work through good discipline of dieting and exercise rather than using supplements. Thirdly, I like your suggested programmes to teach me use different forms of exercises to achieve different results and variety. Workout sessions can be fun through variations!

I will be happy to speak to you new clients if they want a verbal testimony of your work.

Cheers!

Mr Ramesh, an Air-Force Major, signed up my above program in May. after 20 seesions @ 3x a week, he lost about 8kg and reduced 2.5" from his waistline. His body fat % also reduced more than 6%. He was so motivated and happy and signed another 20 sessions. This time, he wants me to build-up his body muscles.

Mr Ramesh's testimony

" Have you ever felt looking like the odd ball out in gathering, party, at work or even within you family ?
Yes, I did, more so I was in the military, where you are kinda of expected to be fit and trim. Don't bother paying for the slimming pills, tea and all. Other trainers will rip a big hole in pants with membership, products, etc etc and you do not see results. Believe me, i have tried them all and they all failed. I needed a personal trainer as I had undergone a spine surgery previously. After all the tries and search, finally I found Calvin.

Calvin first taught me that fitness is not just exercising alone but it is about a lifestyle. I started my journey with him in May 07. We started slow as Calvin always had in mind the surgery
that I had undergone, and that was when I realised how unfit I was. I was huffing and puffing away just 10 mins on the tread mill at slow speed. I have since completed my first 20 sessions (now going to second 20)and now I can, not only see but also feel the difference. I wanted to primarily lose weight and since then I lost some 7kg. Calvin truly understands how the body works and design programs to suit your body and needs.

Beside providing training sessions, he is a total package as he gives valuable advise on diet, rest and the works. I am now able to run on the treadmill for up to 25 min clocking 4km comfortably and also I have built up some muscle on my arms and legs....and I am still working on it. The best thing is that Calvin is very encouraging that I become so motivated and started doing some training on my own to keep up with the momentum. He is also very understanding, patient and nice guy accepting my reasons when i requested light session . I have lost 2 inches on my pants and I do feel great now. Trust me , he is the BEST you have in town "

With his training sessions, I am now able to run on the treadmill for up to 40 min, and I have built up some muscle on my arms and legs. The best thing is .... I hardly have any tummy now ... and that is quite good at my age! The good thing is that the training works so well that now, I am motivated and doing my own training on my own to keep up what I have worked for.

Her results are as follows :-

1. 2kg of Fat loss

2. Waist-line reduced more than 2cm.

3. Hip-line reduced more than 3cm.

4. Upper arm/Tricep area reduced more than 1cm.

5. Thigh area reduced by 3cm.

6. Calf area reduced more than 1cm.

7. Her blood pressure also improved from 120/93 to 101/75.

She received compliments and praises from her friends and colleagues that she is looking slimmer and fitter than better.

Below is her testimony :-

Through my boss' recommendation, I started the personal training session with Calvin since around mid June this year. As I had no inkling of what personal training was all about, I initially had a bit of inhibition about having a male personal trainer. Calvin has shown to be very professional who knows how to pace the exercise and training regime to suit my level of stamina and his pleasant and down-to-earth disposition also helps me feel at ease. I am particularly appreciative of his understanding to accommodate my fluid schedule at times.

As I was not considered over-weight or under-weight before the personal training sessions, you might think it would be difficult for me to see tangible results to justify the money spent. I ended up noticing the results through compliments by others. Many business acquaintances in meetings came to tell me that I look slimmer and having more toned biceps. Also, after around 20 sessions, I started to find some of my pants and skirts getting a bit too loose that I have to send them for alteration.

So, overall, I am rather satisfied with the results and most importantly, it helps me to develop the habits of going for exercise. Ms Rachie - 29th Sept, 2006

"I was referred to Calvin by my friend to hire him as my personal trainer to improve my sport performance and stamina. At the sametime, I wanted to reduce my waistline of 33 inches even though i had been doing jogging regularly.

During the first encounter, I found Calvin to be friendly and briefed me on the gym's equipments. The gym was fully equiped and is conducive for training even though the floor area may be limited. As a result, I signed up 20 sessions with him.

Calvin conducted the Physical Fitness Assessment on me and hi-lited the areas that I needed to improve and gave advices on my eating habits.

After training twice a week with Calvin's training program for less than 1 month, my stamina and strength improved greatly. My waistline is reducing as well.

At the end of the 20 sessions, my body physique improved with distinct muscle definition on my chest, shoulder, biceps and triceps areas. My waist reduced by 2 inches. My wife complimented my body shape and i m very grateful to Calvin and glad that i hired him as my trainer."

Testimonial # 8 RESISTANCE TRAINING PROGRAM, March, 2006

One of my 2006's resolutions is to beef up my body as I begin to see the fats accumulated around my abdomen and stomach areas. However, the only exercise I had done so far is outdoor jogging. To equip myself the knowledge of working out in the gym with the various exercise techniques, I signed up with Calvin's Resistance Training program. Calvin is very patient. He taught me the various exercises that I can do at the gym as well as at home.

I must say that the investment spent is value for money and well worth it. I saw my motivation improved and my body muscles toned up after 5 sessions. I will not hesitate to recommend Calvin to be your personal trainer.

Testimonial # 7 MUSCLE BULK-UP PROGRAM, Feb, 2006

Standing at 176cm and weighs 64kg, I am slightly underweight. But this is not my problem. The real problem is that I am entering into middle-age and my body is starting to grow “out-of-shape”. Then it came that day, I told myself that I need to do something about me. I started to look for a personal trainer. As I am already near 40 years of age, I told myself that I prefer someone who has also gone through this phase of life so that he could better understand my plight and requirements. After spending a few days checking with friends and surfing the internet, I settled for Calvin Chew.

I told Calvin that I want to gain more muscles and tone up, especially my upper body. I also told him I want to see results in 3 months’ time. But having been inactive in exercise for more than 10 years, I knew it would not be an easy journey for both of us. Besides, my main interest is in fine-dining and I told Calvin that it would be difficult for me to follow a strict healthy diet.

Calvin was nevertheless very patient with me. He took note of all my preferences and limitations and prescribed a programme that suit me very well. He was able to get just the right balance - not being too hard on me to the extent that I would lose interest, but at the same time pushed me enough to ensure I was not wasting my time and money. I thought I would dread going to the gym. But to my pleasant surprise, I found each session with Calvin enjoyable, largely motivated by the positive results. I recalled that there were days where my meetings ended very late at night and I could conveniently cancel my training. But instead, I requested Calvin to postpone my training to start later and he always obliged.

The progress has been much better than I expected. Today, after only 20 sessions ( 2 months ), I must say I am very pleased with the results. The gain in muscles and definition at the chest, biceps, triceps and back is very noticeable. I was at a Lunar New Year gathering with some friends whom I had not met for about a year, and received compliments from everyone. I believe the day to achieve my end goals would not be too far away.

To me, Calvin is more than a personal trainer, but also a personal friend. His service extends beyond the gym. For example, he was on constant contact with me via text messages or email to check on my progress. I also recalled he even offered to bring me to the supermarket to show me what sort of food to buy, but due to my work commitment, we were not able to meet up. He ended up bringing samples to the gym to show me. I am glad I have found him.

REHAB AND CONDITIONING PROGRAM, Nov, 2005

I enjoy my personal training with Calvin as he understands the issues that I have to face:
scoliosis and the flexibility of an 80 years old person ;) and I have not trained for ages so he helped to mix easier sessions with more demanding ones and he is always concerned that I do not hurt myself. He has also provided me with a very useful eating plan and explained extensively the reasons why we should do the exercises he planned. He is always on time and offer extra service like he picking me up and fetching me back. Even if it is on his way home I really appreciate Calvin being my trainer.

FAT REDUCTION AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - Lost > 7kg and reduced waist-line by 2" in 2 months. July, 2005

I sought my friend's advices to reduce weight when I weighed 70kg in July, 2005. She referred me to Calvin Chew, a certified personal trainer.

As I was ''shy'' and felt embarassed to work out at the gym due to my over-weight figure, I told Calvin that I wish to work out at home. He listened to my requirements and after doing a fitness survey and tests, Calvin prescribed a home-based weight reduction training routine that included non-weight exercises thrice a week using resistance tube, rubber mat and swiss ball. He also advised me on my eating habits which I found it difficult to follow in the begining. Now I love my new eating habit because coupled with the exercises, I had lost more than 5 kg in less than a month and my waist-line had reduced more than 2 inches. (I am going to change my wardrobe very soon)

Now, i am not shy to train out at the gym anymore. I'm very happy with Calvin being my personal trainer as he makes exercise fun with his warmth and friendly personality. i will continue to follow Calvin's fitness program."

REFERENCE LETTER FOR MR CALVIN CHEW

Please accept this letter of reference and recommendation for Mr Calvin Chew.

I have been very fortunate to have Calvin as my student and it was with great pleasure that I was also able to certify and accredit Calvin with an International Certification as a Personal Trainer. I was very impressed with his work ethics and his determination to not only succeed but also receive top grades in the classes he attended. He has a charming personality and was well liked amongst his peers and the lecturers , adding an element of maturity and determination to the course.

I have no doubt in my mind that Calvin would be a very valuable asset to your company / association and would far exceed any expectations you may have .

Please feel free to email me further if I can help

Re : Testimonial Letter for personal trainer Mr Calvin Chew

This letter serves as recommendation for the above-mentioned trainer to be accepted into the NSCA CPT certification programme.

Calvin is one of the registered trainers at Fitness Tutor. I have introduced clients to him and am delighted to learn from them that they are all very satisfied with his personal training service. He provides training that is both effective and enjoyable for them. He always conducts himself professionally and ethically during the training sessions. On top of these, he is always hungry for more knowledge to upgrade. By applying for the above course is clear evidence. I am happy to have him in my team.

I am hopeful that he will be accepted in the course and would be happy to answer any questions regarding him.

Thank you.
