0 Comment
 27 Oct 2017   Posted by Cheryl Tay


I thought I would just do up a list of the popular (female) fitness influencers in Singapore – well, those that I am familiar with. Listed according to their reach on Instagram (of more than ~10,000), I defined ‘fitness influencer’ as someone who has about 50% of their posts related to fitness. If I’ve missed out anyone or made any mistakes in their profiles, just email me at mailme@cheryltay.sg and let me know!

    About last night - belated birthday dinner and dri About last night - belated birthday dinner and drinks for @angelrun.diary, followed by acai bowl for dessert, plus lots of girl talk heehee.

I first knew Wendy when she joined the SCSM Women Squad in 2017, organised by my @ROCKrunnersSG club. She eventually joined ROCKrunners and was a very active member, helping me out in the committee. With her help and the rest of the committee, RR was able to thrive for so many years.

Even though I've ceased RR, I'm really grateful that some friendships have continued, like this one with Wendy... who, with @dadtokeepfit, always generously open their home to us over festive occasions. Between the 2 of them, they have kickass homemade muah chee and fried bee hoon lol.

Here's to a lasting friendship!

    This is the EXACT uniform I wore for 4 years at TK This is the EXACT uniform I wore for 4 years at TKGS. Whipped it out of my cupboard today to film something with @jadeseah who is from the same school! 🤭🤭🤭 Who else still keeps their school uniform? 

Happy I could still fit into it!

And, does the TKGS pinafore still come with a zip by the side? I love it because it accentuates the curves haha. And the belt is sewn on but I ripped it out ssshhhh.

All the memories!

📷: @jadeseah, after 1000000 shots lol.

    Who doesn't love Super Ring! So bad yet so good 😅😅😅 I love food and I think I eat too much junk sometimes, but it's all about moderation. I try to clean up the diet where I can, I work out and I remember to take Pruvit pure therapeutic ketones every day too.

The ketones do help me a lot in terms of better energy levels, managing the body composition by reducing body fat and having more mental focus and clarity. So much that ketones can do for you - it's not a quick fix weight loss supplement or meal replacement.

It's a ketone supplement that helps to put your body into ketosis without having to be on a restrictive/strict keto diet so your body will burn fat for energy instead of carbs (glycogen).

Hence, you get the benefits of being in ketosis without having to suffer.

Feel free to DM me if you wanna find out more - I can prep an Experience Pack for you or share more about current promotions!

And if you wanna get Pruvit, do use my referrer link (via my link in bio).

When I arranged this, I knew it was gonna be a blast because these girls are so spontaneous, candid, unpretentious, adventurous and unabashed - as quoted by @rriley.

We kicked off with Mr Don Julio 1942 (whom @clairejedrek brought along and never left him) at 9am with a drinking game by @rriley that got @latimerbarbara buzzing first thing in the morning. Plus more gin that got @victoriacheng a little over. And then everything just went whooooosh from there. Ded from so much laughing, at stupid things like the maxi pad float, capsizing the kayak and being awed by the microwave oven.

Swipe for more nonsense pics LOL.

Give us our own reality show!

    "You have to stop expecting people who don't love "You have to stop expecting people who don't love themselves to love you the way you love them." It's true. I had found love within myself. I knew how to give my full self to someone when I made the commitment. But I have to accept that not everyone understands love as I do. A lot of these guys I thought I'd wanted hadn't found love for themselves yet. How could they possibly be ready for the love I was ready to give?

- This is an excerpt from the book The Modern Break Up and it hit home so hard.

Also wearing this pretty toga piece from @pinksaltswimco - comfy, flattering, great material!

Grateful for this group!
    Valentine's Day dinner with my forever loves! One Valentine's Day dinner with my forever loves!

One of the reasons why I'm motivated to work hard in life is so that I can bring them out and buy them meals and gifts and take them on holiday (when we can). Of course it's not always about the money, it's also about spending quality time with them and I really enjoy their company, quirks and all.

I know they will always have my back no matter what, even when I make mistakes or do things to upset them. This is true love. ❤❤❤

Oh and I promise I have other skirts.
