Malaysian National Speed Skater | Gold Medalist at 2019 SEA Games
After an accident during my training in Korea, I was unable to walk and do any strenuous activities. Once my physio gave me the green light to start back my training, I needed a coach who would understand my weakness and strength, but also assist in my rehabilitation. I know that if I trained on my own, I might risk further injuries so I needed a qualified coach to design my training program.
I am so glad I’ve met Nick. He put in so much time and effort into tailoring a program that would suit me. Every session, I left with more motivation to work on my strength. I was very enthusiastic and excited! Nick makes the training really fun, not like other trainers that makes you feel like you’re doing a boot camp. Thanks to Nick, I made so much improvement and I was strong enough to get back on the ice and skate fast again.
