8 DAYSshirtless guy of the week
AGE: 31
MOTIVATIONAL TRAINER:
The 1.81m, 88kg hunk has
been in personal training
for five years, and for him,
exercising isn’t just about
fitness, but also about helping
others. “When I talk to
people who are demoralised
about exercising and
am able to help them,
it motivates me. It’s
great seeing how much
difference exercising can
make in someone’s life.”STORY (^) JOCELYN LEE PHOTO KELVIN CHIA
DIET BUT DON’T SUFFER
“I strongly believe that you should not suffer when dieting,” Damien declares. “It should be
sustainable, and it’s about making healthier choices.” For him, a typical meal includes two
pieces of grilled chicken, rice and vegetables. He adds: “I do have my guilty indulgences. I
eat pizza and ice-cream once a week ‘cos they are my ultimate weaknesses!”
NO REST DAY
Damien, who works in
boutique gym EQUIP at Bukit
Timah Plaza, exercises seven
days a week, two hours a
day. He says: “I do mostly
weight training but I also do
cardio exercises two to three
times a week. Sometimes,
I box because it helps me
keep my focus — a lot
of concentration is
required for the
sport.”
