I'm wearing a Garmin forerunner but I'm also into mechanical watches so I would wear my watches throughout the day, and only change to the Garmin when I exercise. I will look stupid if I wear both watches together.
Anyone wearing like a exercise band or some sort that is accurate in tracking and slim on the wrist?
Hey everyone!
I've been contemplating posting something like this for a while, especially on Reddit lol, but figured this might be a nice way to connect with people who could use some help.
I'm 23, currently a uni student from nus and have been training consistently for a few years now. Fitness has become a pretty big part of my life, and I've genuinely enjoyed learning more about training, nutrition and how to make progress in the gym.
One thing I've noticed is that quite a few people seem to struggle with knowing what exercises to do, how to structure their workouts, whether they're progressing effectively, or even how to approach nutrition.
And honestly, with the amount of conflicting information online, I can see why.
So I thought I'd try something out!
I'm hoping to help around 5 people with their fitness journeys, completely free of charge.
Some things I'd be happy to help with:
You definitely don't need to be experienced! In fact, if you're relatively new to the gym and feel a little lost, you're exactly the kind of person I'd love to help.
I'm keeping it to a small handful of people because I'd like to give everyone proper attention rather than just handing out generic workout plans.
For context, I'm not a certified personal trainer (although I am planning on getting licensed next year) or nutritionist, and this isn't a paid service or a sales pitch. I'm simply passionate about fitness, would love to share what I've learned, and hopefully gain some experience guiding others in the process.
If you're interested, feel free to drop me a DM with a little about your goals, training experience and what you've been struggling with.
We can chat on Reddit first, and if it seems like I can genuinely help, perhaps arrange a casual Google Meet to discuss things further.
Just hoping to help a few people out and hopefully make some friends along the way :)
Cheers!

It's the end of the week, share your fitness journey with us like what happend in the gym? Did you break any PR?
I'm in my 30sF and am new to the gym. Thinking of signing up for PT sessions near my area (Punggol only) Don't really know how PT sessions work, Am a very introverted and quiet person so this is way outta my comfort zone but imma challenge myself alittle.
I read posts about hiring PTs and going to activesg but machines are always hogged and a lot of time is wasted just waiting? So I guess nearest would then be AF Punggol oasis..?
Also before the haze I do exercise mostly on my own (running 5-10km every other day, doing kettle bell/dumbbell training following YouTube vids mostly). I also try to monitor what I eat and actively use AI to track.. altho sometimes I'm not so disciplined. I generally maintain my weight but weight lost and muscle definition doesn't seem to happen for me (which is my goal. I don't need toned abs just wanna look leaner)
Actually after typing all these, I suddenly realize I don't really know what I'm asking haha.
How much of a pump can you get before the staff asks you to leave?
Hey everyone,
I’ve put on a bit of weight and I’m finally looking to get back into the gym and make some changes after many years.
I’m staying around Ang Mo Kio and would like to find a good gym nearby, preferably somewhere with decent equipment for strength training and general fat loss and importantly 24/7.
Could anyone recommend a gym around Ang Mo Kio/Bishan and share roughly how much you’re paying per month?
I’d also appreciate any feedback on the atmosphere, equipment, crowd, and whether there are any joining/admin fees I should know about.
Thanks!
Mid life crisis has called, and it's time for me to try bouldering. (Jk not jk, but need to restart a fitness regime after being away for a year for medical reasons and recovery.)
Any advice on where to begin? Should I take a beginners class?
Or do I randomly sign up for a session and then ask for help? How does it work?
Read that I need special shoes too? Total newbie here. Tried to get help from ChatGPT but thought maybe asking those familiar with this activity can help me not to be a burden to others at the bouldering gym.
Thanks for your help!!
