Hello! My name is Vera & I’m a FISAF certified Aerobics and Group Exercise instructor. I’ve also founded Singapore's 1st tertiary yoga club - YogiSMU - together with a close friend of mine (Stella) & I’m in the midst of pursuing my Personal Training Certification with ACE. I believe in creating the strongest and happiest version of each unique individual through fitness that goes beyond the aesthetics. I'm a scoliosis surgery survivor - living proof that you'll never know how far you can go until you try. People motivate me: I've been doing a variety of fitness classes - yoga, TRX, Bootcamps, Body Combat, Cardio Dance, Kickboxing, Zumba etc. - loving all of them thoroughly! I find inspiration from within: I lift heavy & go crazy during my personal workout sessions! My personal fitness journey started when I was 18, while I was recovering from my scoliosis surgery. The surgery marked the loss of my identity as a dancer and I turned to extreme exercise and dieting in an attempt to lose weight. My lowest weight reported a disturbing Body Mass Index (BMI) of 14, constant cold, loss of interest, amenorrhea and a ridiculous obsession with exercise and food. It was arguably the worst period of my life but it is exactly this experience that led me to where I am today - mentally, emotionally and physically stronger than ever. I've learned how to look beyond the mirror and camera lens, to focus on what physical activity and food can nourish our lives with. While I hope to document my own journey here, I also wish to motivate every person who drops by this blog :) Have a wonderful Fitasy experience here! :D Full of love! Vera
