Coach Nurwana: 4 Years of Transforming Lives at TSquared Lab

NURWANA

Personal Trainer
"The mind is over matter. If one fixes their mind on something and stays focused on their goals, they'll get there in no time. So do not think or dwell too much on anything. Rather just do it."

Coach Nurwana's approach is centered on working with clients' limitations, such as joint restrictions or mobility issues, and finding ways to navigate around them effectively. She emphasises the importance of pushing oneself within safe limits, acknowledging that clients often underestimate their own capabilities.

She believes that mental barriers can significantly impact performance and that once these barriers are overcome, individuals often discover their true strengths. Coach Nurwana’s philosophy reflects TSquared Lab’s holistic and sustainable approach to training, where mindset plays a crucial role in realising one's potential.

During the 2023 team photoshoot at TSquared Lab, Coach Nurwana pushed her body to the limit with minimal food, intense cardio, and lifting, leading to fatigue and poor recovery, ending at 60kg and 18% body fat. This year she focused on proper nutrition, measured every meal, reduced cardio, and prioritised rest. With patience and discipline, she maintained the same weight but dropped to 10% body fat, her lowest ever, while preserving and gaining muscle.

Today Coach Nurwana is extremely proud of herself as this year marked a significant positive shift in her fitness journey. Two months post the 2024 team shoot, she is at 65kg and 15% body fat, eating at a calorie surplus with cleaner habits, occasional treats, and increased strength.

Wency Chay has been training with Coach Nurwana since August 2022 to build more strength for her diving trip. Now is in it to win it. She went from 36% body fat to 22% body fat and is now trying to build more muscles.

Irene Tay, a 60-year-old client has done her training in lighter weights on her own. With coach Nurwana, she's crossed a whole other dimension lifting safely and heavier than she ever thought she could. She moved from 3kg shoulder press to 8kg and 4kg chest presses to 9kgs with the training at TSquared Lab

Cara Lim used to be afraid of being sore in the gym. She tried it one time and never went again. She has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and hypertension. Visually, she's changed a lot and her visceral fat went down from 14 to 9.

Miyako Nishimura, a mother of 2 came to TSquared Lab with no strength and now she's bench pressing 20kg. Lost a very significant amount of body fat and her body shows it all.

Achieve your goals, become your best self.

Irene

When I started out, my weight was 54 kgs, and right now it’s 47 kgs, and my body fat was 25% and now it has come down to 17%.

After struggling with her energy levels and body composition following menopause, Irene knew she needed a change. She joined TSquared Lab and, under the expert guidance of her trainer Nurwana, began a journey of gradual but powerful transformation. With a program tailored to her needs, focusing on proper form, progressive strength training, and balanced nutrition, Irene shed 7 kgs and reduced her body fat from 25% to 17%.

Irene says and we quote, "My body wasn’t what I wanted it to be. So I was sluggish and didn’t feel very energetic and I wanted to change all that and feel good again so that was one of my goals."

Miyako

Since starting the training program, I've lost 7kg of body weight & 8% body fat. Thanks to my coach Nurwana for her guidance & continuous push.

At 37, balancing a demanding career and motherhood, Miyako successfully transformed her body and mindset, losing 7 kg and 8% body fat.

Miyako says and we quote, "After the pregnancy, I was wearing size M but after joining the training program I think it went down to size XS so I had to change my entire wardrobe as the clothes that I had after the pregnancy were no longer used but it was a very refreshing change."

Nurwana has been an absolutely gem to work with! The statistics speak for themselves as I saw a significant improvement in my muscle mass, body fat %, aside from just feeling awesome! And all just within a couple of months ! Her holistic approach ensured I was well taken care of both within and outside the gym. I love how the diet she recommends (and monitors for me) includes food that is easily available and tastes good ! Very practical! I also appreciate her flexibility and being always available to consult. If you’re looking to get in shape fast, I’d highly recommend Nurwana!

What a journey!

Came across TSquared Lab 3 months ago while searching for a fitness gym to get stronger and fitter for my sport. The location was simply a plus point with cosy ambience, facilities and good vibes.

Thanks to my coach Nurwana, I get to understand better that the right food intake before and after a workout would make a difference. Nurwana has constantly share, advise and monitor on my food intake, which is quite challenging at the start to planning my workout routine that suits my needs. With Nurwana push and encouragement, I slowly get to lift heavier weights that I never thought possible. With consistency and diligence, we saw the results we wanted. I felt good and stronger!

Definitely recommend for those who wanted to kickstart their fitness journey.

Nurwana is my PT with the gym and she has been extremely professional and knowledgeable. During the sessions, she pushes you to the limit while ensuring your safety. On non-training days, she goes the extra mile to ensure that you are eating right by providing a lot of information and tips, which helps me in choosing my food and maintaining my calories count. Also, would like to highlight that the gym is clean and equipments are well-maintain too!

Kalpana K

Really want to thank TSquared Lab. My first encounter was with consultant, Henry. He was not pushy and explained the programme very clearly to me. Consequently, I was placed in the good hands of my coach, Nurwana, who customised workouts to suit me and helped monitor my step count, my meals and how I felt throughout the training sessions. I would like to thank Afshan as well. She is always willing to share nutritional tips and checks on my wellbeing. The facilities at both branches are top-notch (thanks to the staff for upkeeping the hygiene and conducive environment). Not only did I gain knowledge and strength but training here has boosted my self-confidence as well.

Would recommend TSquared Lab to anyone who is keen to seek guidance from experienced coaches :)
