Testimonials from clients and students:
I starting doing post-partum personal training and yoga with Shu Ting after the 1st Circuit Breaker in Singapore back in 2020. I had both shoulder and hip mobility issues, plus upper back stiffness from long hours of working from home at a desk. My core and back muscles were also weakened after my two pregnancies. When we first started training at 4 months post-partum after my second child, my mind was very much focused on just losing my pregnancy weight. I never thought about my posture much, but it makes all the difference. Through regular training and yoga with Shu Ting, I managed to transform my body in more ways than one. A good posture definitely makes people look even better!
Shu Ting brings the “yoga mentality” to the gym, which made each exercise (however hard it might be) feel doable. I felt that I was being challenged in a very motivational way and this approach to training made it so much easier for me to make it a habit!
With the depth of knowledge Shu Ting has on how the body functions after giving birth, I felt a complete peace of mind knowing I was in good hands after 2 c-sections. I’ve never had any doubts and just fully trusted in her guidance on what I should or should not do during our training sessions.
Probably the greatest endorsement I can give is the fact that I have been training with Shu Ting for almost a year and we are still continuing to work together on my fitness journey!

Shu Ting’s prenatal yoga and personal training has really helped me manage my sciatica and other aches & pains in my pregnancy. Shu Ting was recommended by my sister and a friend for yoga/ personal training. She took time to understand my issues and worked with me to see what I could do. She also pointed out some prenatal yoga postures which I was doing on my own, but making my conditions worse.
Before I started training with Shu Ting, I was experiencing a persistent dull pain on the left side of my body. The pain made it difficult for me to sleep on my left and I also began to struggle with sitting on the floor. The pain subsided after 4-5 sessions of training. With the pain gone, I could comfortably sleep on my left side, as well as sit easily on the floor to play with my young daughter.
I liked that over the course of the personal training, she was able to suggest some variations or new exercises that I can do to manage my changing conditions, particular in the 3rd trimester. She also checked in with me after the session to see how I’m doing, which is greatly appreciated!
The weekly sessions have made a huge difference for my aches and pains , physical strength and energy levels.
I would highly recommended Shu Ting for anyone looking for prenatal personal training.

Life got very busy with work in 2020-2021 and the onslaught of COVID lockdown. Being the lazy person that I am, combined with my germophobia, going to gyms just wasn't working out for me. I saw my personal health deteriorate drastically over the past 2-3 years, which is when I thought of seeking professional help with my health and fitness.
I reached out to Shu Ting for home-based personal training as I was looking for a trainer with a strong background in yoga. Besides being overweight, I have several gynaecological disorders combined with herniated lower back discs. As such, I needed someone who has experience working with these conditions. I have always enjoyed yoga classes with Shu Ting, so I wanted to be able to alternate strength training and yoga sessions with her.
I always knew I needed a trainer whom I can't bully, but at the same time, isn't too pushy or condescending. Having been in the corporate world, Shu Ting understands the pressures of working life, but is also firm when she needs to be. Shu Ting personalises our sessions, often making adjustments on the fly as my energy level fluctuates from week to week, especially in relation to my sleep quality, work stress, hormonal balance and menstrual cycle. She regularly checks in to make sure that I am committed to the lifestyle changes (e.g. regular movement, improved eating habits) that we agreed upon from the onset. She also has a sense of humour that works for me and we have a similar tastes in a number of things, which makes it easy for us to chat while working out.
After 4 months of training with Shu Ting, I feel physically stronger. Functional aspects of life like bending, picking up heavy items etc. with my back issues has become much easier. A nutritional review by Shu Ting also got me tracking my meals and planning my weekly menu together with my helper. The nutritional overhaul has really helped me with my energy levels. I get tired less easily now and am thus motivated to move more. I even surprised myself doing a some challenging core exercises which I never saw myself doing before!
I'm glad to have started my fitness journey with Shu Ting and would recommend anyone who enjoys combining the therapeutic elements of yoga with the functional aspects of strength-training to work with Shu Ting!
- Premanjali Gupta (Personal Training - Strength and Yoga)
Having personal training with Shu Ting was the best decision I have made for myself. My stiff and aching body screamed that I needed exercise but I didn’t know how to start. When I occasionally tried to exercise on my own, I would stop because of back pain and discomfort.
After working with Shu Ting, it all changed. For the first time ever, I enjoyed exercising. We often laughed and giggled. She really encouraged and motivated me throughout our training sessions. She is very thorough with her explanation and visuals to demonstrate proper technique and form for my safety and achieving my goals. She is always watching over my progress. Being well-aware of my challenges, Shu Ting has helped me to overcome various limitations comfortably; guiding me through to the next stage without struggle.
I have trained with her for half a year now and I’m very pleased with the entire process and the results. I’m more energised, my back pain is gone, and I’m excited to have more training sessions with her.
Highly recommended!

Having never really been a fan of fitness centers, I found all the cardio machines and heavy weights intimidating and confusing. Fortunately for me, I have been able to work out at home throughout the circuit breaker period and beyond, with the online guidance of Shu Ting as my personal trainer. With her help, I managed to put together a mini home gym -- using my existing props and improvising with other household items.
Working with Shu Ting has not only increased my physical strength, but my mobility. Shu Ting cares very much about her clients and encourages them in every way that she can. Her training programs are meticulously planned according to my goals and physical restrictions. She loves to celebrate the small victories of her clients, whether in terms of their training goals or in life.
I greatly appreciate all that Shu Ting has done for me and am so thankful for all the time and effort in helping me to achieve my goals now and in the future.

There are no shortages of yoga studios and instructors in Singapore, but to find an instructor who understands your body is like looking for a needle in the haystack. I’ve been attending Shu Ting’s "Energizing Flow" weekly since the beginning of this year, and I look forward to the arrival of her Tuesday mornings classes! I have physically and mentally benefited so much from Shu Ting’s classes. I really can’t ask for a better instructor.
- Grace Tu (In-studio yoga classes)
Shu Ting was one of my 1st teachers and she has an awesome spirit. She shows such kindness and compassion to her students regardless if you're a beginner or not. "Try" was something she used to say to me. Just "try". I don't have as much time as before to go for Shu Ting's classes but everytime I do get a chance, it feels amazing. She made yoga enjoyable and now 3 years later, with her support and guidance, I will be embarking on my own teacher training journey. - Farlene Mansore (In-studio and outdoor yoga classes) |
Shu Ting is a patient and gentle teacher who will give lots of options during class to cater from beginners up to advanced students. I always felt no pressure nor judgement when I couldn't achieve a particular pose, but rather was given lots of encouragement and suggestions to work on the intermediate poses. |
I attended Shu Ting's class for my first time back to yoga, after stopping my practice years ago. I was immediately attracted to her calming voice. Every class I feel relaxed and recharged after a long day of work. I highly recommend Shu Ting's classes. Thank you for bringing me back on my mat! One of my most awesome teachers!!!!! |
Shu Ting's an awesome yoga teacher! Her instruction reflects a great depth of knowledge of the yoga asanas, and she is always conscientious in ensuring we hold postures correctly to best benefit our body types. Her classes are fun, invigorating and empowering, and definitely amongst the best I've attended. |
She is a patient and caring instructor who takes care to look after the individual needs of her clients and puts their welfare, health and comfort as her first priority. Her relaxed but structured approach to yoga has made each session with her thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend Shu Ting, who is an outstanding Yoga instructor and practitioner! |
Attending Shu Ting's evening class is always a good way to end a day. She gently leads us through poses, nudge us into deeper stretches to gain better understanding of our body through yoga. Her classes cater to yogis of various levels of proficiency. Though a beginner, I never feel left out in her class. She allows each student to find space to better themselves through yoga. Thank you for the wonderful classes! |
Shu Ting is a patient and encouraging instructor who radiates a positive energy. She provides thoughtful, balanced instructions to accommodate the different abilities and preferences of her clients. As a regular yoga practitioner, I greatly enjoy the sense of serenity practising with her and find myself always learning something new every time I attend her class. - Tay Kai Xuan (In-studio yoga classes) |
Shu Ting always keeps her yoga classes fresh and innovative. She is encouraging and pushes you to reach just a bit more - before you know you are touching toes when you thought you never could. She always provide personal attention, even in group classes. One of my favourite yoga instructors surely...If you are looking to explore if yoga is for you or if you are a veteran - its worth giving ST's classes a shot! |
We had the pleasure of doing morning yoga classes as a family, on the rooftop at Fullerton Bay Hotel whilst on holidays from Melbourne. Shu Ting was our humble inspiring instructor, and what better way to start the day - than with the views across the bay, stretching, breathing, and awakening our bodies for the day ahead. |
It’s a rare opportunity to come into contact with a yoga teacher like Shu Ting! Her great respect for yoga and for the people that attend classes and the actual yoga studio surrounding itself, is unmatched. There is something about her very presence at the head of the class- peaceful, calming but yet disciplined. One thing that stands out in particular- is Shu Ting's in depth understanding of the healing benefits of yoga . I saw this with conviction- as a woman who joined her class with a healthy dose of skepticism (and was converted to loving the art)- people will be taken on an unforgettable yoga journey like none other when they join one of Shu Ting's classes. |
