CHNG EE BENG, STOM

Dear Hiring Manager, FitTitanSG
I am applying for the Exercise Trainer role advertised by FitTitanSG.
• Qualification: Certified Personal Trainer (National Council for Strength and Fitness, 2023); Elderly Exercise Specialist (International Sport Academy, 2023), and Standard First Aid Certificate (Singapore First Aid Centre, 2023).
• 10 months experience at Fit Kaki, a senior only fitness studio.
• Assess, design and implement tailored fitness programmes: At Fit Kaki - I have trained seniors aged 60-85 with osteoporosis, vertigo, joint replacements, balance disorders, and low mobility. I understand how to correct imbalances, improve movement quality, and build functional strength – through designed individualized strength and hypertrophy programs using progressive overload principles adapted for older adults who need careful, intentional progression. I track progress through weekly check-ins, assessments, and functional tests. I do not just deliver sessions. I deliver results.
What I bring to this role:
• Senior fitness specialisation: senior or elderly clientele – I am not a generalist. I understand the unique needs of older adults and I have documented results to prove it. I will champion this segment and help you grow it. I want to be in the demographic that is growing, underserved, and ready for real results – senior fitness and active aging.
• My coaching philosophy: Every client is different. But the principles are the same: assess, programme, progress, and hold accountable. I celebrate small wins. I correct without discouraging. I adapt when needed. I never give up on a client.
• Relatability and a Living proof: I am 64 with a physiological strength age of 54. Though I started late in life as a fitness trainer, and do not have the chiselled physique of a younger trainer - I am certainly relatable and living proof that exercise can reverse the effects of ageing. I look good (not chiselled or muscular), feel healthy, and have the energy to coach client day after day. I do not ask clients to do anything I cannot do myself. My students said I really look 54😊
• Professional discipline: 18 years SAF Officer + 19 years ST Engineering Senior Manager – I am punctual, prepared, and professional.
• Languages: English, Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, Malay – I connect with clients in their preferred language.
My strongest client result to date:
A 68-year-old client with osteoporosis and vertigo, with a fear of abrupt moving and lying down. Her fingers could not curl. I started with light dumbbells and slow Tai Chi-like movements. After 8 weeks of strength and balance training, she could carry 3/4-kg dumbbells with 4 fingers curled, lie down confidently on the exercise bench, and even build little "mouse muscles." Her confidence returned. That is what drives me.
A Quick Perspective on My Application:
My 40-years of life experience is an asset for this role. The stability, sound judgment, and operational excellence I have developed over 40 years make me a fundamentally reliable and responsible team member. For the clients and colleagues, my presence is inherently calm and trustworthy.
Why am I still working? After a long corporate career, retirement is never on my mind. I simply cannot sit at home. I am driven to keep moving, contributing, and helping others – especially seniors – achieve quality of life. Not reporting to work in shirt and tie is a fun and lovely way to work 😊 and I am getting paid to keep fit 😊
I am looking for a stable, welcoming environment where I can use my operations and leadership experience while being part of a fitness community. I am not looking for a stepping stone. I am looking for a place to age well with fellow seniors.
Availability: Immediate.
I am available for an interview at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for considering a coach who brings senior fitness expertise, professional discipline, and living proof of what training can achieve.
Respectfully,
Chng Ee Beng (Stom)
