I've since gained a much stronger mind and body. I fall sick less easily, have higher energy, and I'm much happier now!
In my mid-40s, I went from never exercising and living on fried food to lifting 90kg deadlifts, running intervals, and enjoying healthy meals daily. What started as a wake-up call after a health scare has become a lifestyle change—more strength, energy, and confidence than I’ve ever had. With my trainer’s guidance, fitness is now part of my life, and I’m proud to inspire friends and colleagues to start their own journeys. Watch my full story here.
Breakthrough Challenge 2025 Champion
Tancy Tan
Breaking through with Pei Wen, Personal Trainer at Fitness First Mapletree
I am now finally healthy enough to have a baby, and ready to step into the next chapter of my life.
A few years ago, my father was diagnosed with a health condition, and a doctor later told me I wasn’t healthy enough to try for a baby. That was my turning point. Through the 90-day challenge, I lost 11.4kg, 8.2% body fat, and gained the stamina, strength, and confidence I had been missing for years. More than the physical changes, I’ve learned consistency, discipline, and self-love—and now I’m finally healthy enough to start the next chapter of my life. Watch my full story here.

Breaking through with Tracy, Master Personal Trainer at Fitness First Tampines
My mindset has shifted. I no longer see training as just "working out" Training is now my source of strength and confidence.
After an Achilles tendon tear, I joined the 90-day challenge to rebuild strength and test my limits. With consistent training and support, I regained mobility, hit a personal best of 140kg for squats and 100kg for bench press, and discovered training as a true source of strength and confidence. This journey proved I’m stronger than my setbacks. Watch my full story here.

Masashi Horio
Breaking through with Zahin, Advanced Personal Trainer at Fitness First Paya Lebar
I learned to prioritise consistency over perfection and most importantly, I started to believe in myself! This journey showed me that limitations are just mindset.
I joined the 90-Day Breakthrough Challenge after years of training with little progress, low energy, and low confidence. With Emil’s guidance, I learned how to fuel my vegetarian diet properly, train smarter, and stay consistent. I lost over 5% body fat, built strength to lift over 105kg, and gained the energy to spend full days playing with my son. Watch my full story here.
