Working out for a good cause - that's something I will never say no to. Cue Operation Broken Wing (OBW). OBW is an event for CrossFitters to come together as a community and raise funds for youths at risk. This year, with REACH Community Services as the beneficiary, OBW will be held at a public...

Ego-crushing. This is the best word to sum up my virgin CrossFit competition. And I will tell you why. Ask me one year ago and I wouldn't have thought I would be in CrossFit, let alone be competing in it. But never say never and I was at the X45 Challenge on 22 and 23 August in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah,...

Dr. Cheng, as he is cheekily nicknamed in the gym, is often teased for his body so I thought it would be fun to put him out there proper in a shirtless shoot.

The plan was to do a group feature for my weekly Yahoo #Fitspo column, but after speaking to them, I realised there was a greater story to tell. These girls exude an air of confidence about their bodies, which the average girl lacks. They readily agreed to posing in bikinis, without...

Samuel Lim, more affectionately known as Uncle Sam (@thatunclesam), is the face of CrossFit Fire City - duh, he owns it. I tried classes there before and I've interviewed Sam previously, but this time I was back to shoot him for BSN Singapore's advertising campaign in 2015. (He is a Team BSN athlete...

I remember feeling shivers run down my spine when I watched the CrossFit Games on television, especially the women. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to cover a CrossFit competition in Singapore. Called the Sin City Invitationals, it's organised by CrossFit Fire City and it's a grassroots regional CrossFit...
