Personal Training Success Stories
"Lionel put me through his 90 day body challenge programme which has worked wonders for me. Through the workout routines he planned, I understand my body so much better. I have even learnt how to customize my own workout to suit my training goals.
Chief of them all is that my strength has exploded exponentially. Just imagine when I first started, I could not even bench 15 pounds. But now, into the second month of the 90 day body challenge programme, my warm-up weight for the bench press starts at 35 pounds!
Not only has my weights increased, so has my confidence. In the past, you would probably have seen me in the gym – a scrawny guy with no muscle definition nor bulk. But today, I stand before you with bigger muscles piled the natural way. After every workout session, I witness how I transform beyond my imagination. My friends have complimented me on my bigger frame and new image. It really feels good because I know the hard work has paid off."
"After being skinny for 31 years of my life and weighing only 47.1kg, I decided I wanted a change so as to look good. That was when I decided to take up personal training lessons. Lionel's own success story motivated me and I wanted to be like him.
I'm not afraid of wearing sleeveless T-shirts anymore as I have muscles to show! More importantly, my strength has also increased. I now can do ten push-ups at one go. For some, this may be easy. But for a guy like me who started from zero, this is a great achievement!
Lionel is a very friendly coach who always pushes me beyond my limits. I know he has my best interests at heart. Every ouch of muscles I gained was the result of the trust I had in him and doing what he asked me to do."

"From the start, Lionel pushed me to the max and that was when I realized where all the deep muscles lied. Of course there were the initial aches but I got past that as my muscles got used to the training. He also made sure I have the correct posture while using the machines and free weights and is careful to substitute those exercises that may aggravate my back problem. Then he progressively piled on the weights, helping me along so that I do not stay on the same comfort level.
I appreciate the fact that he incorporates flexibility exercises in the program that are suitable for women and am glad that my training seems so different from the bulky males in the gym.
My back and neck are definitely stronger after 4 months training, which further improves my swim and jog. Friends tell me that my posture is a lot better and shoulders are straighter. I am also amazed to be able to lift up heavy stuff minus the injuries."

"After researching online, I reached out to Lionel for a consultation and decided to train with him. His knowledge in health and fitness, and his confidence in helping me reach my goals ascertained my decision to train with him.
Although every training session has been tough, I really enjoyed the workout sessions with him. He never once gave up on me and always pushed me through every set of the exercises.
It has been a few months now since I started training with Lionel. I have become stronger, healthier and slimmer too. I find him very professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of health and fitness and have in the process learnt a lot about how to get the best results from my workout.
If there is anyone out there looking for a personal trainer and is unsure of which personal trainer to engage, I would definitely recommend Lionel Lim! I am sure he will be there to maximise your potential and help you reach your goals."

"To his full credit, Lionel helped me to feel the muscles I have not felt for years. Words cannot describe how happy I am. This also resolved my biggest frustration. Instead of the routine exercises, he would creatively come up with new exercises each session to challenge my stubborn muscles. One of my biggest problems is feeling my lats. Yet through the training sessions with him, I could feel my lats!
I'm also pleased that he customised a special programme which I can follow at my own pace for me to bring back to California.
I find Lionel very professional as he would always explain which muscle group is being worked upon before the exercise and then ask for my feedback after that."Ken Flagg, United States of America

"From day one, Lionel motivated me and didn’t give up on me. I can always count on him to push me beyond my comfort zone.
Yes, the going was tough but it was all well worth the effort, sweat and groans. I saw results after just a few weeks of sticking to what he taught me. On the average, I lost 1kg every week! My weight loss was actually achievable! I was also surprised at how quickly I got better at certain exercises that I found very difficult initially.
Lionel makes training fun. We always have a laugh and after a hard day at work, an hour of training with Lionel puts the smile back on my face and relaxes me. I now look forward to all our workout sessions.

"When I first met him, there were a lot of doubts in my mind...the ever pessimist that I am started thinking if this would work. He gave me a meal plan which I started following immediately.
The routine was gentle at first and then after three or four sessions, he started pushing me. I always started with the same line "I can't do it", but Lionel always gave me the confidence which urged me on. He makes you do exercises without really being too hard on your body and also eases when needed to. We work on the entire body every session so it makes it more fun but I always complain. I think Lionel knows how to push me without making it really laborious. He mixes the exercises with weights and on the mat which also helps as it's not concentrated on just bulking up the body but also toning it.
Good luck with everything, Lionel. And I hope your book sells big time and you become a real trainer guru not just in Singapore but all over Southeast Asia, if not the world."

"After having come across a few personal trainers online, I decided to reach out to Lionel for a consultation -- in particular because of his holistic approach to fitness that emphasized natural muscle development, without the promise of "quick results".
It has been a few months now and the results speak volumes -- I'm stronger and healthier, with more energy and more confidence. Others in my life have noticed a change too: from friends to colleagues (to the security people where I work). Lionel has been a great coach: planning a diet and exercises specifically tailored to my goal, making himself available whenever required and, most importantly, motivating me to do my best. I'm grateful for his help; and would highly recommend him to anyone serious about their health and committed to achieving sustainable, long-term results.”

**********"When I was introduced to Lionel, my first impression of him was someone affable, patient and knowledgeable. He didn't promise me anything extraordinary but only resolved to seek my cooperation in trusting him on this fitness journey.
From day one, Lionel allayed my fears by explaining the rationale behind everything we were doing. Each time I wanted to give up, he would encourage me and help me along. I cannot imagine walking this journey alone.
Looking at my totally wet T-shirt each time I finish a workout, I feel gratified that I'm one step closer to building a better body packed with some lean toned muscles. I think I've been pretty good in cooperating with Lionel and I enjoy having him as my coach. Thank you!"
