I have been training with APEX for the past 2-3 months to help address my post partum back pain. A big challenge for regular post partum fitness is stepping out of the house when caring for a baby. I have been so thankful that apex trainers come to our homes instead of needing us to step out. The reduction in commute time is a gamechanger. During this time, Christel and Sam have been so supportive and determined in helping me achieve my goals and are so creative and practical about addressing my back pain! I would describe the motions and chores at home that tend to cause pain, and they would look at my home set-up and advise either a change in the home item to better support me or my posture/movement associated with the chore. This is something a regular PT at a gym will not be able to achieve. My house is also quite tight on space and I was worried it would impact the ability to train effectively at home. However you really only need space for a yoga mat. Christel and Sam are masters of improvisation so not to worry! Even my toddler's little chair has become a mainstay in my training session to help with squats! Christel and Sam also do regular check ins not only on my home workouts but also my diet, steps and water intake. This supports holistic wellness and fitness beyond exercise. While they drive strong accountability, i have also really appreciated the flexibility to account for any injuries or changes in circumstances. Lastly, they delivered results. My core strength has been transformed from barely having any strength at all to being able to consistently deliver on my core workouts - bicycle crunches, knee rocks, etc. The frequency of my lower back pain has also gone down as a result. While it is still a work in progress, it is remarkable to see this transformation in such a short period of time. Thanks so much Christel and Sam for being such amazing coaches who bring incredible positive energy and encouragement!

It’s my 2nd round of 10 sessions with APEX! Grateful for their support and guidance. With his help, I was able to go through my third pregnancy without much pain, remain active, and even managed to keep my Gestational Diabetes well controlled without medication. Looking forward to resuming training to lose weight and regain my strength to run after my 3 kids again! Highly recommend APEX!

I have always been regularly training at the gym, but as perimenopause hit, I felt my metabolic rate drop. I was putting on fat on my tummy and hips and my bone marrow density was found to be low despite being active. On top of that, I have a complex medical history. I decided to engage APEX Training and Performance to see me through my health journey and overcome the effects of perimenopause. I am so grateful for the enthusiasm and dedication of APEX. The friendly daily check ins of steps and advice on food choices have been invaluable for the belly fat loss. This was a game changer! Eating clean helped to reduce symptoms of joint pain and bloatedness. Weights training was tailored according to my medical condition with much care, with emphasis on my form to prevent injury. I hit my fat loss goal in 2 months and now am continuing weights training to build more muscles. To ensure I maintain my results while building mass, the team has been conscientious to continue advising me on my daily nutrition (loads of lean protein!) and how to maintain my improved metabolic rate. Thank you APEX for your guidance and "whipping" me into shape!

I engaged Apex to assist with my post-partum recovery, and to build strength so that I can be present for my child. I was initially apprehensive as it is quite pricey, but looking back, it is one of the best decisions I’ve made! My trainer Christel is extremely knowledgeable and technically competent. She clearly explains each exercise/workout so I not only understand how to do the exercises, but also why. She is also very detailed and pays great attention to form and technique. Working out with her, I know that I can push myself without risk of injury. As a pro swimmer, she also went above and beyond, to give me advice on my swimming technique, which I appreciate very much! One month on, I’ve seen improvements in my strength and functional mobility (goodbye back pains, hello muscles!) and I look forward to seeing what more my body can do. I cannot recommend Apex enough!

I started my postpartum fitness journey with Barry when I was struggling with multiple physical issues after giving birth, including wrist pain (mommy’s thumb), hip imbalance, sciatic pain, shoulder and neck stiffness, and overall weakness. Even simple daily tasks and taking care of my baby could feel challenging at times. Barry took the time to understand my condition and designed a training program that focused on rebuilding strength safely while supporting my recovery. After several weeks of consistent training, I’ve experienced significant improvements. My wrist pain has reduced, my hips feel much more balanced, my sciatic pain is far less frequent, and my shoulders no longer feel constantly tight and stiff. Most importantly, I feel stronger, more mobile, and more capable of caring for my son every day. His diet guidance was also excellent. He gave me realistic nutrition advice that was easy to follow as a busy mom, helping me improve my eating habits while supporting my recovery and strength-building goals. Beyond the physical benefits, the training has also had a huge positive impact on my mental well-being. Regaining strength and seeing progress each week has boosted my confidence and energy. I no longer feel like I’m just recovering—I feel like a strong mama again. Barry is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in his clients’ progress. If you’re looking for a trainer who understands postpartum recovery and can help you regain both strength and confidence, I highly recommend APEX!

Having stepped into my early 50s, I was quite skeptical about working with a personal trainer and was also concerned about the cost-value for 1--to-sessions. I’ve lived with chronic back pain for more than 20 years and have tried just about everything—TCM, physiotherapy, and chiropractic treatments—but nothing provided lasting relief. What surprised me most about my trainer, Christel's approach was that she didn’t rush into heavy weights, intense workouts, or complicated training routines. Instead, she took the time to understand my condition, limitations, and goals. She focused on making small but incredibly important adjustments that I would never have thought could make such a difference. I’ve only been training with her for about a month, but the results have exceeded my expectations. As I write this, I’m on my 5th consecutive day without back pain—something I honestly can’t remember experiencing in years. Another thing I truly appreciate is the atmosphere she creates during our sessions. We have a lot of fun, share plenty of laughter, and I actually look forward to every workout. At the same time, I have never felt pressured to overperform or push beyond what my body is ready for. Christel knows how to challenge me appropriately while always making me feel comfortable and supported. I can't recommend APEX enough. I look forward to hitting my other goals progressively.

I am early 50s and I had back pain and knee pain due to my weight and also I am in pre-menopause. There were days when I was not able to sit up due to the pain. I went to TCM and it helps to retrieve a short while. Hence I decided to find a trainer. Thank God, I found Apex. After listening to my body condition. I enjoyed every training session with APEX. He is very patience and very encouraging. Barry begin to assess my body posture. He starts with simple exercise to strengthen my back. There were some exercise that I cannot perform, he is creative to guide me with a different exercise to achieve the same result. He will also advise on my food intake everyday, 'nag' at me when I did not eat well. With a 4 months training, I do not have back pain anymore and I am proud to carry dumbbell of 3kg each and kettlebell of 8kg. Weight reduced, body is more toned, I am more confident now and will continue to workout. I strongly recommend APEX team.
