Five Years of at the Swiss Club!
Active Fitness has been at the Swiss Club since September 2014, when we were contracted to the club to kick-start personal training and other off-site fitness services such as boot camps. In the half-decade since, we have built the personal training services from a one-man team to a whole team of personal trainers. This year we were asked if we could introduce a few more classes. We subsequently offered a much-requested Zumba class and extra Pilates classes, in line with Members’ interests. WORLD-CLASS STANDARDS In order to ensure that our classes and personal training services are of the highest standards possible, we decided to travel to countries around the region and further afield to compare and critique our offerings. Initially we wanted to do a nine-city tour, however given the length and expense of such a trip, we broke it up and extended it to a much longer project. And so we began in July.
MEMORIES AND MILESTONES I am proud to share that we are also the longest fitness vendors at the Club, with the exception of a Pilates instructor. When the aqua biking vendor decided to call it quits at the Club at the end of the of summer 2015, we strived to support the Club by filling the void. After purchasing equipment and undergoing training to lead the classes, we relaunched aqua biking at the Club in February 2016, and have been running it for Members since. In 2017, we helped the Club launch its indoor cycling service, given the uptrend in indoor cycling and its efficiency in burning calories.
Over the last three months, we headed to four cities – Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, New York and Los Angeles, to compare our fitness classes and standards with the cities’ respective offerings. The journey, while long, was educational and purposeful. We found some new and exciting things we can adapt, but most importantly we found that the standards of the classes we are offering are on a par with those of big city studios. Modesty aside, sometimes our standards surpassed those of the overseas studios we visited. In order to inject some fun and share our experiences and learnings, we vlogged our entire journey. It should be available on youtube in the near future. A GROWING COMMUNITY OF FITNESS ENTHUSIASTS Along with creating great fitness programmes, we have built a strong base of fitness enthusiasts at the Swiss Club. Our trainers are passionate about creating great fitness programmes and providing the best quality to the people we serve. We promise to continue to do our best to keep ourselves current with the latest happenings and courses. If you have any queries or need any assistance, feel free to approach me or anyone in my team. Thanks for a great five years!
