I was in a 9-month break from exercising due to foot injury and tennis elbow, getting older and putting on weight... getting closer to 50y/o I needed to take action!
I first met with Stacey for an open and genuine conversation on my goals, nutrition, exercise habits and what I could expect from joining T2Lab. I was then very promptly matched with coach Jon with whom I’ve trained twice a week for the past 4 months.
From the moment I started, Jon took the time to understand my fitness goals, listen about my injuries and insecurities, and tailored (and constantly enhances) a program that suits my needs perfectly. His patience and nutrition guidance have been invaluable, helping me achieve significant progress in a short time without ever feeling beaten or hungry.
More than what I lost in fat mass and body weight, what matters is what I gained in confidence and self-care.
What truly sets Jon apart is his dedication to ensuring every workout is both challenging and safe. He consistently monitors my form and adjusts the exercises as needed, providing insightful feedback that has greatly improved my technique.
The supportive environment at T2Lab Singapore, combined with Jon’s motivational approach, has not only enhanced my physical strength but also boosted my confidence. I highly recommend Jon and T2Lab to anyone seeking a non-judgmental and transformational fitness experience.

For a gym newbie like myself, TSquared Lab Raffles Gym is a very comfortable boutique gym where only members with trainers can access, thus it is never overly crowded. I can use the machines and free weights without pressure. I truly enjoyed every session with my personal trainer Jon Abbugao, who has been so patient and encouraging, guiding and pushing me to do better and try harder everytime. Through Jon's sharing, my diet has also changed to a more protein focused low fat one, and his advice and tips have been helpful in my fitness journey. With such a wonderful trainer, I am really proud and happy to reach and maintain my fitness goals. Even after my programme ended, Jon has been really supportive to check on me from time to time to make sure I am still focused and disciplined in my fitness routine and I really appreciate my trainer turned friend. Thank you Jon!
