Strongest Skills:

Teaching Pilates and mentally-disabled fitness training class for 7 years and individual fitness training class for 8 years

Especially focuses on letting students to raise their body functions through simple and easily picked up exercises so that they can do it during daily activities.

Made good use of adjustment movements in order to teach mixed level classes so that both beginners and experienced students can both enjoy the classes.

Experienced in training special populations (e.g. mentally disabled, patients recovering from cancer, pre-/post-natal women)

Most outstanding achievements:

Regarding client’s training.

Training a female patient aged over 60 who recovered from her cancer to regain her muscle strength and balancing ability within 3 months (one lesson per week). She lost confidence as she failed to walk steadily for longer routes. Eventually she was able to walk along the mountain trails for 2 hours without feeling tired.

Many students who joined my Pilates class felt that their back and waist pain was much relieved. A lady of over 40 used to feel painful in her waist and back when she gets up every morning and even wasn’t able to get off her bed. After joining 3 Pilates courses taught by me, she managed to get rid of the pain after getting up in the morning through reinforcing her core muscles.

Regarding self-training

I spent 3 months on continuous participation in the spinning class held by the fitness centre and with bodyweight training, my heart rate changed from staying at the highest heart rate zone to zone 3 and 4. My body fat mass also decrease from its highest at 9.7% to 6.1%.
