Can you introduce yourself and tell us about yourself?

Hi, my name is Leong. I am 57 this year. I am a Safety Officer; working in a Facilities Management Company.

How much body fat have you lost?

My weight fluctuates between 70 – 71. Body fat is about 6%.

What made you join TSquared Lab?

Twenty-three years ago, I developed knee pain while preparing for my marathon. After which, I didn’t participate in any running, I didn’t take up running, didn’t walk, or play any sports, and; my body wasn’t getting very well. I happened to come across TSquared Lab, I think it was on LinkedIn or Facebook, and then it was near my workplace, so I decided to sign up and see if they make me run again.

Have you been able to run again?

Yes, definitely. I was able to run sometime in August this year and it felt fantastic.

I don’t have to wear size 35 anymore. It’s now a size 32 and half
“More Importantly I don’t have to wear size 35 anymore. It’s now a size 32 and half”

What were the health challenges and struggles you faced before joining TSquared Lab?

I didn’t face many challenges except for a back injury in the army days, so the back pain kept coming back every year, so that was the main struggle and challenge I had. And I decided to sign up with TSquared Lab not just for the running; but also to help me see whether they can help me improve my back.

What is your proudest achievement, the noticeable change you saw since you started training with Dimi?

I am able to run again. I was so proud that I could run again sometime in August. I achieved it in one click, so I was extremely happy.

Personal Trainer, Dimi’s customised training program was suitable to my needs and goal and the results were amazing

What do you have to say about your Coach?

Dimi is a fantastic Coach, and I hope he stays here as long as he can. He has designed a program especially for me and I am very proud to say that he helped me regain my running again.

What kind of a program has Dimitar designed for you?

The program he designed is specifically for me with some of the exercises similar to the guys are doing, which suits me a lot. The program is very simple and easy to follow. It starts with ease and later on gets intense, but I always believed the thing doesn’t challenge you, doesn’t grow you.

I always believed the thing doesn’t challenge you, doesn’t grow you.
“I always believed the thing doesn’t challenge you, doesn’t grow you.”

How long before you started noticing the difference?

I joined TSquared Lab in February this year. And, sometime in July, I saw the changes coming in. I don’t have to wear a size 35 anymore.

Any words about the people here, the facility, the equipment

The facility is fantastic. I have visited a few gyms; and I didn’t like them. But when I stepped in here, I liked the way it was. The layout is not so commercialised. It is more like family, very cosy. The people are nice; anyone that you see greet each other.

What would you say to people who are unsure about joining TSquared Lab?

Don’t think much because there are people here who will tell you what you need, and how they can help you to improve your lifestyle. You can have a trial and can decide whether you want to join. Don’t think so much.

Any final words you want to say?

It’s been a great eight months over here at TSquared Lab. I have improved a lot in terms of my health and my strength. I am so glad I can run again and, more importantly, I don’t have to wear size 35 anymore. It’s now a size 32 and a half.
