STRENGTH BUILT

FOR REAL RESULTS
MEET KY.
Hi, I’m Ky!
I’m a certified personal trainer in Vancouver with over six years of experience—and over a decade of competing and coaching in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Martial Arts. Born in New Zealand, I’ve lived between there and Singapore for most of my life, and now I call beautiful Vancouver, Canada, home. My multicultural background helps me connect with people from all walks of life, and helps me tailor my coaching to suit each client’s unique needs.
Growing up, I was a skinny teen who struggled in the gym, not knowing what to do and how to do it. I had to teach myself through trial and error which, unfortunately, led to a lot of time being wasted and sometimes injuries. Over time, I learned proper technique through good coaching and guidance, and that transformation changed my life.
Now, I help people like you build strength, move with confidence, and train smarter—with a focus on precision and technique. My approach focuses on mastering the basics, creating sustainable habits, and delivering real, lasting results.
Outside the gym, I’m a film buff, an actor, and a proud dog dad. Fitness changed my life—let’s see what it can do for yours.

MY APPROACH
Training with me is simple, effective, and entirely focused on you and your fitness goals. I prioritise proper technique, steady progress, and consistency, all within a safe, supportive environment where you’ll feel motivated to show up and thrive.
-
I focus on the fundamentals. We’ll master proper form, smart progressions, and sustainable routines. A solid foundation ensures lasting success.

Training isn’t about pushing through pain or burning out. Effective training prioritises purposeful movement and injury prevention. My programmes keep you progressing steadily and safely.

I believe that understanding the ‘why’ behind every movement is key. I’ll help you learn the how’s and why’s of proper technique and training methods, so you feel confident navigating the gym and your training even on your own.

Fitness doesn’t stop at the gym. It’s about building sustainable habits that support your health in every aspect of life. My goal is to help you develop strength and resilience, whether it’s carrying groceries, running for the bus, or staying energised throughout your work day.
-
Fitness should feel empowering, not intimidating. I’m here to work with you, not push you beyond what feels right. Together, we’ll set achievable goals, celebrate progress, and adjust your training to fit your needs. You’ll get guidance, support, and a safe space to grow without fear of judgment.

Real Client Stories
Sarah N., 20’s, Professional Violinist
“Ky listens, observes, and is sure to tweak my form when needed. Skilled, empathetic, and clearly loves what he does. I still carry over many of the training habits.”
Wen T., 35, Marketing Director
“From the very first session, it was clear that he genuinely cares about my fitness goals and takes the time to understand what I want to achieve. What I like most is how simple and effective they are. Each session is challenging but never overwhelming.”
Russel C., 20’s, Software Engineer
“Even though I came into the first session thinking I knew a lot from my years of lifting, Ky’s attention to details and technique tips added a lot more value to my training. I was able to recruit the right muscle groups with slight adjustments I had never noticed, as well as additional visualisation and intermediate techniques, which made me feel a lot more stable and safer while increasing weight and power in my lifts.”
Nevin T., 30’s, Software Engineer
“Look no further than Ky if you want to get stronger without getting hurt! Thanks to his astute eyes I'm always learning how to lift safely while lifting more, and every mistake caught is a problem not paid in potential injuries. Combined with his enthusiasm for all things strength-related (especially proper technique), you can be assured that your strength goals will be taken as seriously as they can be.”
Soo JH., 30’s, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Coach
“Ky is a knowledgeable coach who will guide you through the session with detailed instructions and patience.”
Pamela C., 30’s, Software Engineer
“I started with zero knowledge (I never walked into a gym before) so he worked progressively and constantly explained each process and ensured my form was right. I started from lifting just a 2.5 kg dumbbell, to being able to deadlift my body weight! Having Ky as my personal trainer was the best decision I’ve made in years.”
Gene H., 40’s, eSports Commentator
“Working with Ky has completely transformed my fitness routine. Ky was instrumental in helping me overcome my lifting plateaus as his attention to detail was on point as he helped me with my form and oddly enough my breathing (it works!).”
Will L., 30’s, Digital Marketer
“Even though I’m a seasoned lifter, Ky is able to push me to improve but always ensures that I’m training safely. He’s taught me a lot about technique, providing detailed explanations of why certain movements are more effective than others. His programming is well thought out and dynamic, constantly evolving to ensure progress without overwhelming my CNS. Every session feels purposeful and is aimed at helping me grow stronger in a sustainable way.
His training style is educational and effective, and it’s clear that he’s deeply educated in the science behind muscle building. His programming for me is grounded in research, focusing on the most efficient ways to build muscle while preventing injury.”
