The turning point
She had always exercised regularly, training two to three times a week. But over the past year the weight had crept on regardless, and she decided it was time to do something about it. After seeing an ATP advertisement on Instagram, she took the first step.

A systematic start
ATP’s methodical approach stood out from the first consultation, which checked her body weight and physical abilities in detail. That comprehensive assessment became the foundation for a programme built specifically around her, and gave her the confidence that she was on the right path.
Results that turned heads
After 4.5 months of consistent training, spanning both Christmas and Chinese New Year, the numbers spoke for themselves. But it was what her colleagues noticed that meant the most.
After 4.5 months (and spanning across 2 festive feastings), I lost 7kg, 15% body fat and landed 6 pull-ups… thanks to Jovan!Reginah
The best encouragement is when people around me noticed the difference in my body physique. I met my colleagues and the first thing they commented was ‘look at her arms!’Reginah
Overcoming the fear of strength training
Like many newcomers, she had always found weight training intimidating, avoiding machines because they looked daunting. Her coach Jovan changed that with a progressive approach that built confidence session by session.
With each session, Jovan breaks it down starting with small doable reps and before I knew it, I was carrying heavier loads than I would ever imagine. Given that I have knee problems, he also moderated my exercises accordingly and made sure that I have sufficient warm-up before starting on my workout.Reginah
Nutrition without deprivation
The word ‘dieting’ usually means restriction. ATP’s approach was different: sustainable changes and mindful eating instead of deprivation.
‘Dieting’ was another thing I could not and did not want to do, and throughout this time, I never felt that I was on one either. I eat out a lot so Jovan tracks my meals and we discuss about it regularly. I am now more mindful about what I eat and how much I consume, and learned how to tweak my meals when needed.Reginah
The transformation went beyond the physical. What once felt intimidating now feels empowering, and four and a half months in, she was carrying heavier loads, eating without guilt, and landing pull-ups she never thought possible.
