WHAT OUR STUDENT'S SAY
Veena
I met Jake back in late 2017. Having been sedentary for most of my life and dealing with life as a new mum, I had put on weight that I was finding difficult to shed. I also was battling anxiety and borderline depression, and found little motivation to get by daily tasks, so exercise was a long way off.
Sometime in 2019, I had developed pain in my left knee caused by collapsed foot arch. Jake not only helped diagnose and address the problem in a timely manner but also helped put together workouts that enabled me get rid of the knee pain completely.
At the age of 38, I feel fitter and stronger than I have ever been in my life. I can run and have been progressively lifting heavier kettlebell weights – something I have never done before.
Xiaohui
Xiaohui battled and struggled with multiple joint injuries and chronic pain her whole life due to hypermobility. Just as she was on the verge of giving up on exercising, she took action and engaged Coach Nanfeng.

Suman Biswas
Thank you Jake for adding 10 years to my life, not a lot of doctors can do that without cutting you up 🙂
I have met a few coaches, however, Jake is the most humble. Despite being extremely knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition, he makes it a point to relate to his customers at their level and is always motivating and encouraging.
Dwayne Lau
Coach Jake has definitely been a game changer in my fitness journey and I’m so thrilled to have had this opportunity to train with him.I have been training with Coach Jake for 5 months already and not once have I regretted my decision. Photos will testify of the positive changes over the past few months, all thanks to Coach Jake.

And results guaranteed. (Of course, you too will have to put it that added effort!)

What’s worse was I turned to comfort food to help me manage the grief.
KIAK: Corinna Tan + Isaiah
It’s hard to find kids these days who understand why ‘WE’ as Coaches do certain things.
Why we make them PRACTICE and REPEAT countless times.
Isaiah is one of the precious kids I coach whom understands.

His emphasis on a sustainable diet and gradual progression of difficulty in challenges has been the key to our improvement in fitness.

Raeann Lee
Raeann was a Student of mine in Crescent Girls School.
She found her way to this sport through her elder sister, Risa, who was paddling for NJC Canoeing and Dragonboat Team under my guidance.
If there’s one thing this sport did for them, it’s to bring them even closer as sisters.
Koh Rui Ting
“NJ Canoeing isn’t only about the sport.
We were given leadership roles, we learn to manage the whole team of more than 60 people. We facilitate training and organise camps.
Our teachers and coaches taught us not only to be good at the sport but also to grow as a well-rounded person”
-Koh Rui Ting
Elona Choong
My favorite coach – Jake Ong. The first impression he gave me was that he is indeed a super fit and strong person. Coming from a person with zero sports background, to achieve what I have today in my fitness, is beyond imagination and is truly a miracle. For just a short period of 3 months, from feeling faintish running from one lamp post to another, I have now completed 2 Spartan sprint races(5km++), an Urbanathalon race(14km++), and accomplished a Spartan Super race(15km++).
Christina Lee
Coach Jake can analyse his clients’ learning style to better impart his knowledge. Personally, I am a visual learner and required constant reminder when executing out the workout. He had never failed to repeat and repeat the techniques to me until I can master it.
Coach Jake will customize his program to suit his clients, knowing that clients engaging him came in all walks of life.
Kaven Lim
The boy whom who all know is Cheeky, pretty lazy and always trying to find the easy way around everything he does.

Rebecca Ma
Coach Jake is a Professional Spartan Coach(Local and International) as well. He has helped with setting up Spartan races globally. He cares and inspires his students on a personal level like NO other! During my first session with Coach Jake, I was shocked by his stern method of training. His expertise and experience enable him to know what we as his students needs and wants. Impressed by how he took the extra mile in training and giving homework including preferred lifestyle I was ever driven. He checks in on me with discipline and grace!
Ruchika
I have found Coach Jake extremely knowledgeable and professional. He has pushed me to try beyond what I thought I could ever aspire. Alternating between gently nudging me to complete my homework and taking me to task whenever I have been lax, he has been able to strike a good balance as a coach and a personal trainer.
Celeste Loh
I’m most grateful for the time and effort she put into understanding each of our strengths and weaknesses, then effectively customizing training programs for us. Her programs always covered a wide range of technical aspects and physical exertion, while still managing to be fun and refreshing each time.
Daphne Koh / Athlete
Under Jake’s coaching, I could see tremendous improvement in my weakness, cardio endurance and upper body strength. Now I could handle a couple of push up while maintaining good form, a task which seemed impossible months back, as well as breezing through a 21km run with good pacing, without feeling fatigue.
Shaun De Souza
Training with coach Jake is never dull. He finds ways to innovate and get me out of my comfort zone, or as he would be put it, “… to spice up” the training. I would recommend coach Jake to anyone seeking to make a change in their lives in terms of their health and fitness, or to anyone who has hit a plateau in their fitness performance and am seeking more improvements.
