Hygieia Strength & Conditioning, a Starting Strength Affiliate gym - Hygieia Strength & Conditioning

I had the pleasure of working with Shaun Pang (a certified Starting Strength coach) this week as I was in Singapore on business. I trained at his gym on Friday (which he generously allowed me to do, since the gym is by appointment only) and then came back on Tuesday for the barbell clinic. The gym does not have all the fluff you would find at a commercial gym. Iit has several very nice Rogue racks, a/c, high-quality lifting platforms, barbells, dumbells, and enough weights to keep Ronnie Coleman happy for years. Coinsidering I pay only 240 EUR per YEAR for my gym membership back in Germany, the barbell clinic (2 hr.) was somewhat pricey at 350 SGD, but I will say that it was well worth the investment. I knew going in that 1 on 1 training with a starting strength coach would be expensive, for good reason, and Shaun is the only certified SS coach in Asia Pacific as far as I know. It was the perfect opportunity for me to get the coaching I needed. I left the barbell clinic very sore (I am still sore actually, more than 2 days and one very long flight home later) because Shaun gave me some very valuable tips on how to correct my lifts, and there were muscles working that never really got worked with my crappy form. He also took pictures so I could see exactly what he was talking about with his lifting cues. Overall Shaun's knowledge is very good, as one would justifiably expect from a SS coach, and I am very happy I invested in his services! I am defineitely going back to see him when I return to Singapore - in the meantime I will put all his tips to use and keep making strength gainzzz. Thanks again Shaun! 5 stars from me! Best, Gary

Signed up for Hygieia’s Barbell Clinic, and Shaun was the trainer conducting the session. Shaun was friendly, professional, and really knows his stuff! I tend to have many questions but he answered it all patiently. Sometimes have knee issues when lifting on my own, but with his pointers, I was able to lift correctly, pain free. The gym set up was efficient and straightforward, without any gimmicks. Will be looking forward to sign up for more sessions, if my schedule allows. Thanks!

I have been training with Shaun for 2 years - and I have lifted weights that I never thought I would ever do. If you want to get strong, there is no better place to do it. Professional and knowledgeable coaching. Both Shaun and Marvin are great guys to work with.

I am closing in on 50 years old and really wanted to make sure I aged well. Hygieia is a life changing place that can help with that goal. I had "worked out" earlier in life but honestly never really knew what I was doing. Marvin is my coach and helped me go from a clueless lifter to a stronger lifter with better form than ever before. I wasn't the fastest learner but he was patient and helped me improve. My wife saw the changes in me and also joined. The gym culture is something I want to call out as different in a very positive way. It's not intimidating at all and everone welcoming and friendly. You see more couples and families working together than any other gym I have been at before. If you getting older and want to get stronger so you can be independent for your later years this is the place for you. They have even coached two of the master lifters to become Singapore powerlifting record holders! Maybe you can be their next Masters Record holder or just out lift your children and grandchildren. Thanks Shaun for starting and running the gym and Marvin for the coaching even with my old man stories! :)

I have been training under the guidance of Shaun for almost 2 years now. Before I started training at Hygieia Strength & Conditioning, I was lifting without being coached and my progress plateaued quickly. When I first started training at Hygieia Strength & Conditioning, Shaun rebuilt my lifting foundation from scratch using the Starting Strength Method to ensure that my forms are correct in order to lift heavy and progress safely. From there, I was able to progress steadily and lift weights that I would have never imagined to lift before being coached by Shaun. Hygieia Strength & Conditioning is more than just a gym. It is also a community where people celebrate each others' achievements and cheer for you while you grind out your personal records. No matter your gender, age or size, come to Hygieia Strength & Conditioning if you are looking to get strong. Shaun and Marvin are more than capable to guide you to your goals and more.

Starting Strength professional coaches Shaun and Marvin have deep knowledge about strength training and are passionate about sharing it at Hygieia. They approach each individual based on their current fitness/strength levels and know what is needed to help you achieve your desired goals. I have been training with them for over 2 years. They are so patient in coaching the barbell lifts that even my 70+year old mother enjoys her regular sessions at this gym!  People are friendly and the place is well-kept.

I’ve signed up for the Barbell Clinic recently to learn proper barbell techniques. It was very informative and enjoyable! Shaun was the trainer conducting the session. He was very friendly and professional; patiently answering my queries/concerns and showing videos to explain better. With his cues and adjustments, I was able to lift pain-free and more confidently. Highly recommend Hygieia to anyone interested to learn barbell!

I've trained with coach Marvin for almost two years. I was able to achieve my goals. He is very professional, patient and friendly, with him I learned how to do barbell exercises safely and effectively. The gym is well equipped, and clean. It has calibrated plates (so you know exactly how much you're lifting) and micro-plates for small adjustments (believe me it makes a huge difference). I would recommend this gym for young and old alike.
