The meaning of fitness is still largely synonymous with weightloss. What’s your idea of fitness?

Fitness to me is a balance of both mental and physical health. What we don’t realise is the mind and body has to work in tandem for the overall well-being of an individual.

As a celebrity coach, how do you encourage fitness enthusiasts to be more goal-oriented and not blindly follow celeb workout regimes?

People need to understand that following a celebrity workout routine can be a way to get motivated, but everybody has a different built and DNA. Workout routines are designed according to an individual’s body type and stamina. Following someone else’s workout regime can not work for your body type. So, I am very particular what I design for each one of them.
