Coach Ivan: Helping You Achieve Your Fitness Goals Through Consistency

IVAN

Personal Trainer
“Consistency is the key to unlocking a healthier and better quality of life. Even on the days when motivation is low, showing up and giving your best will make all the difference."

Coach Ivan believes that effective training is built on a foundation of consistency and open communication. He emphasises that training should not be a one-way, top-down approach, but rather a collaborative effort where active communication between the trainer and client is essential. According to Coach Ivan, consistency is also key for making progress, and even imperfect training days contribute to growth-he believes that “the only truly bad training day is the one where you don't show up.” This belief aligns closely with TSquared Lab's approach, which prioritises personalised coaching, ongoing feedback, and the understanding that sustained effort is crucial to achieving long-term fitness success.

I trained with Ivan regularly for slightly over 6 months, and it was undeniably one of the most transformative and fulfilling experiences I’ve gone through. Within the first 3 months of working with Ivan, I felt like I had made more progress than the past year of trying to work out on my own regularly in the gym.

Ivan is incredibly professional and knowledgeable in his craft, but is also very approachable and fun to be around during our sessions. He cares deeply about his work and his clients’ progress, often going above and beyond to follow up over texts after workouts to make sure I was recovering okay and keeping up with my diet plan.

Having struggled most of my adult life to gain muscle and weight, in 6 months, I’ve gained 5 kg of mostly lean muscle mass while even achieving a slight reduction in my body fat percentage.

I highly recommend everyone to consider starting their PT journey with tsquared lab and with Ivan.

My last session at T-Squared Lab. I started in Nov 2023 not knowing a single thing about weights training. Through the guidance of my trainer, Ivan Ang, I gained confidence and strength gradually, and I lost about 10kg of fats along the way too. My body fat percentage also went down 10% from 35% to 25%, quite a feat! My viseral fat level came down from 15 to 9, more fats to eviscerate.

Overall, my strength has increased and I feel more confident working out in a gym. Fitness is a journey, and I’m happy that I’m now more equipped to carry on.

Ivan is an attentive and knowledgeable trainer. Despite me not knowing anything about weights training, he patiently guided me and helped me through my almost 10 months of training.

TSquared Lab has a winning system - great workout environment, friendly trainers. They deliver results. Highly recommended."

For a beginner like myself who has just started working out in gym, signing up at TSquared lab is a first great step. It is so welcoming ( I like the nice lounge too) and I have always looked forward to my sessions.

I have lost 3 kg and 6% body fat having trained for 3 mths twice weekly. Coach Ivan Ang is great, being professional and patient, always encouraged me during training to push hard on myself and do more (or lift heavier) each time. With his knowledge and attention to details, he patiently explained and corrected me on the techniques or body posture to get the best out of it.

At the end of my sessions, i have gained strength and more confidence as I have equipped myself with the knowledge to continue my training independently. It's been an enjoyable journey and happy that I have come this far.

Thanks again Ivan!

Hi there, am writing a review in for Coach Ivan Ang who’s personal coaching is exemplary. As an individual who does not have much background in gym personal training, he patiently guides me through all the various upper body, torso and lower body exercises. He gives good advice regarding food choices and aligns it with my fitness and food goals ensuring they’re attainable - food is still satiable (being a foodie myself). As a busy healthcare worker, he never fails to allow flexibility in my training schedule including weekends and weekdays. Highly recommended! Thank you Ivan!

My bf reduced from 23-17.8% and I feel stronger too 😊

Signed up for a 24 sessions, and i must say it was the best thing I did, before I turned 40. Got assigned to Ivan, and damn, he was good.

No pressure, no over-pushing, always encouraging. Ivan made sure the 1hr session was quality! Focusing on techniques, which now really helps as I'm doing heavier weights.

I committed to 3 times a week. Love the environment in the gym.

Ivan always checked on me, making sure I eat my meals (proteins!), and do some simple cardio outside the normal gym time.

Once I was done with initial 24 session i was down by 8.4kg and 8% body fat!
Now, I can fit into my old polo-t (went from XL to L/M) And I just renewed another 24 sessions! (no hard selling, pushing was needed. I did it on my own accord)

I trained with Ivan Ang for 36 lessons and I strongly recommend him. He is demanding in a friendly way and pushes you to a higher physical standard every session. I managed to increase my chin-ups from 8 to 11 through his patient coaching. He also shares very practical tips on weightlifting which he is very knowledgeable on.

Started with TSquared Lab since Oct 2023. I have requested for a trainer with patience and I was assigned to Ivan.

Looking back I have got a trainer with wealth of information and he was like a walking dictionary, with all my questions or doubts answered and giving me confidences to move forward. He had also convinced me that what I eat will be what I sow despite what I have learned previously. This will be a very valuable knowledge that will be remembered.

Ivan had been a great motivator despite my irregular schedules & he never fails to push me out of my comfort zone for every PT sessions and yet I look forward for more every time as the results had showed.

I would strongly recommend Ivan as your PT if you are someone whom requires more motivations.
