Be Moved By The Inspiring Transformations Of Our Clients

Achieve your goals, become your best self.

Vivienne

Two Knee Surgeries Left Me at My Heaviest and Feeling Like I'd Lost Control. But in 11 Months I Lost 19kg, Rebuilt My Strength, and Took Back My Health at 59.

With Coach Syahir carefully tailoring every movement to her knee condition, Vivienne progressed safely from deadlifting 5kg up to 20kg, and walking lunges that once felt impossible became pain-free. A shift to structured, protein-first nutrition completed the picture. In just 11 months, she dropped from 74kg to 55kg, reduced her body fat from 44% to 23%, and even reduced her dependence on medication.

Vivienne says, and we quote, "My proudest moment was when I picked up the 19kg weight and realised this was the weight I used to carry every day. It changed my whole lifestyle. I am not sure I could do it on my own, I may not have believed it was possible before. Better late than never. Once you take that first step, the rest is easier."

Woei Yun

The decision to sign up was cemented when the trainers at TSquared Lab set a clear, measurable goal: to achieve a pull-up within eight weeks.

After trying out different gyms, Woei Yun came across TSquared Lab and was immediately impressed. She liked the detailed analysis outlined for her in terms of health, fitness, and aesthetic goals.

Woei Yun says and we quote- “This year I participated in five competitions, and my latest showing was my best—17th out of 31 and it was great for me.

Yen

Weight loss from 75.6 kg to 58.6 kg in 10 months made me look good and feel more confident than ever.

Yen, joined TSquared Lab seeking an efficient and effective weight loss program. After joining the program she felt more energised and confident and lost 17 kgs and 17% body fat over 10 months appreciating and attributing her success to the personalised training plan provided by her trusted trainer, Coach Darren at TSquared Lab.

Yen says and we quote "TSquared Lab has very positive energy. It is a very supportive community. The moment I step here, I feel comfortable that; I can focus on my training."

Ansel

In this fitness journey I have lost about 10 kg of bodyweight and 5% body fat.

Before joining, TSquared Lab Ansel struggled with climbing stairs and having sugary water, but the program helped him lose 10 kg and 5% body fat, making climbing stairs much easier for him, shifting from size XL to size L and also inculcating healthy habits into his daily lifestyle.

Ansel says and we quote "I used to drink sugary water and have fried stuff, so after starting my fitness journey with Darren, I have conditioned myself not to have sugary water and also to cut down on the fried stuff. Initially, I was struggling to make the changes but now when I see fried food I avoid it."

Siva

I have lost 9% body fat and gained a few pounds of muscle and now I have abs which I love the most.

Siva joined TSquared Lab when he was feeling quite unhealthy and lacked confidence in his body. With guidance from his coach Darren and our personalised training program, in 6 months he has lost 14 kg body weight and 13% body fat.

Siva says and we quote "Today when I go and see myself in the mirror I feel very confident as a person and what is more important is I have gained more knowledge in terms of nutrition and workout."

Beatrice Low

Thank you, Coach Darren Goh, for your very valuable training and guidance. I managed to drop an approx. 8kg of body weight and 5.7% of body fat in just 13 weeks. The result is amazing, and I'm so looking forward to my next goal.

I'm also glad that you never gave up on me when I'm feeling under the weather. Instead, you encouraged and pushed me to the limit.

I really enjoyed the training, and I appreciated that you made it fun!

Juleen Goh TK

A little over a year ago, at age 60, I walked into T Squared Lab Alexandra very unsure of myself but intent on improving my overall conditioning. I had never had personal training and it was intimidating being probably the oldest client there. But the atmosphere of the gym was inviting and energizing, and, more importantly, coach Darren was welcoming, attentive and professional right from the start. His knowledge of physiognomy and his communication of how each exercise worked were clear and motivating. The gains I had were not just physical but also mental — working out regularly with Darren gave me inner confidence, a sense of wellbeing and the knowledge that I was stronger than I knew. It has inspired me to stay fit for life. Thank you, Darren, and Afshan too for this precious time and space!

Darren is very experienced. He knows how to motivate the client to achieve his/her full potential. At the same time, Darren is an extremely knowledgeable trainer. He will patiently explain the rationale and technique behind each exercise. No question is too silly for him. Darren puts every client at ease with his approach to training and it is very easy to build up a good rapport with him. I strongly recommend Darren to anyone looking to pick up personal training.

Shamini Priya

I joined Tsquared in January and was assigned to my trainer Darren. This was my first time every being in a gym so I was quite nervous of what to expect from it. Darren from the start had a detailed conversation with me, understanding my goals and planning routines to help me with my weight loss and strength gaining journey. He very patiently taught me how to use the equipments, while also explaining the purpose of each and every workout. He always remained sensitive that I was very new to the whole experience. It has been about 5 months now and the results speak for itself. I have lost a total of 6% in body fat and have gained strength and muscle mass over the period. Darren is a great trainer who pushes my boundaries and guides me to achieving small wins, step by step. I am very thankful for everything so far 😊

Sc Tan

Started my journey at Tsquared under Coach Darren Goh since last year and it has been a fulfilling journey for sure! Darren is methododical and flexible in adjusting training programmes to fit my personal goals. He reviews the programme regularly and is very careful at every session, watching out the movements and regime to ensure I do not aggravate my kneecap injury and scoliosis problem. He is very patient and gives lots of encouragement, enabling me to push my limits safely. Overall, the experience at Tsquared is certainly great and Darren certainly made a huge difference! :)

And of course, need to mention that the gym has this amazing welcome vibe. Impeccable cleanliness! Kudos to CEO Afshan who makes it a point to make all the clients feel that the gym is like a second home. :) Thank you Tsquared

Siva

A highly recommended gym for a total fitness transformation. I enjoyed every workout session here. Unlike any other gyms, T2Lab gave me a naturistic & tranquil vibe which I loved. The owners are welcoming. The gym is huge and aesthetically appealing.

Shoutout to my trainer, Darren Goh. My 11kg weight loss journey wouldn't have been possible without his patience, guidance & expertise (especially in nutrition) over the 12 weeks. Darren paid close attention to my goals. He ensured every workout were done in proper form and executed to challenge my limit. My progress were monitored daily and he offered recommendations, advices accordingly which gave me assurance. Indeed a motivator! Weekly data were captured and stored in an app which were reliable.

Truly a pleasant experience to hustle with one of the best trainers in T2Lab!

Darren is a great trainer, helping me to achieve my goals within a short periods of time. Thank you Darren!

WY Siow

I started training with Darren in mid August 2022. He is systematic, attentive and professional.

More importantly, he is able to pinpoint my problems in every exercise thus allowing me to overcome these challenges and improve.

I started off with wrist pain. After training with Darren, I'm now pain free, yet stronger.

Darren helped me achieve my first fitness goal ahead of schedule.

Now that I'm fitter, stronger and pain free, I'm even more motivated to continue my personal training with Darren.
