Gymless Fitness Revolution Blog

In the years spanning over a decade as a fitness professional in Singapore, I've come across countless individuals who always seem to complain that their fitness regimes are disrupted whenever they have to travel abroad or when they can't make it to the gym for one reason or another. Whatever it is, there is always some reason, somehow, out there (or should we call them, excuses ???) that prevents them from working-out. Ironically, in my opinion, most of these people could have easily maintained their fitness regimes without much ado and fuss - if and only if - they have first bothered to educate themselves on the basics behind gym-less or gym-free training . With knowledge on how to train Gym-Free, one can basically ELIMINATE almost all excuses for NOT exercising or sticking to one's fitness program....... To put it another way - if you have learnt the principles behind gym-less training, you could pract...

Hi folks, Rick here again - your friendly fitness blogger and fitness pro from Singapore . For this particular blog post, I like to look at the concept of  TOTAL FITNESS - a notion that has often been mis-understood, mis-represented and even totally abused by some segments of the fitness populace (and to my knowledge, even some members from the professional fitness fraternity!) To clarify once and for all, , FITNESS - in its totality , refers to  NOT just 1, 2 or some of the components of fitness, but rather to ALL , and EACH and EVERY  component of fitness, from: cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, speed, agility, balance, power, coordination to even body composition. Thus, if somebody were to say he/she is 'FIT" - then it should be taken to mean that he/she has achieved mastery or excellence in   each and every of the above-mentioned categories, since fitness encompasses all that ...

Hi, Rick Wong here again, blogging to you from the Island Republic of Singapore. As a Fitness Pro and strong advocate of gym-free fitness , I've always been asked this question: " How do you help your clients make progress in their training or fitness without access to a gym ???" Bodyweight Training On Parallel Bars Ahh......interesting question, isn't it? Well, first and foremost, the people who ask this question usually make a very basic assumption: That progress in all training is largely dependent on INCREASING  resistance ( i.e. in the form of poundage or weight ). That's why they assume that we need a GYM - where there is constant access to resistance in the form of selectorized weights, plates or dumbbells. Well, they're only HALF-RIGHT - no doubt fitness progress can be achieved by adding resistance to a training program - but that's only ONE out of the many, many components or variables that can be manipulate...

Hi, this is Rick Wong here - blogging to you " live" on fitness - the GYMLESS way - all the way from Singapore..... Why GYMLESS, you may ask??? What's WRONG with working out in the gym??? Well, first and foremost, because you already have the very BEST gym available to you  - your OWN BODY - at your service and command 24 hours-a-day, whenever and wherever you need it! Why not use it as it is ???? Why waste it by going to the gym and work-out using ' artificial machines' - which are far less efficient, less productive and less functional anyway? Too many of us have been simply BRAINWASHED by the media and fitness industry at large - particularly by gym owners and fitness equipment manufacturers - into thinking that we all need access to sophisticated, eye-catching, high-tech, 'machines' to get into shape. Well, nothing is further away from the TRUTH ......... Let me share with you something - as a Fitness Pr...
