RetroFit

I have been seeing Carmelle, my functional trainer, on a weekly basis for a few months. She was assigned to me by my physiotherapist to help with my recovery after knee surgery. She was very mindful of the limits on the range of motion that my knee could handle and tailored all my exercises to my ability, taking into account my doctor’s and physio’s advice which I had relayed to her. Most importantly for me, she helped me to work towards my goal of being able to survive all the walking and climbing I would have to do for a holiday in Greece. The exercises she planned for me were in gradual increasing level of difficulty, making it easy for me to slowly recover and regain mobility. After 2 months with her, I managed to climb 100 floors in a single morning while in Greece :) What I appreciate most about Carmelle is that she makes every session fun. She always starts with a quick recap and finds out how I’ve been doing for the week before she moves on to the exercises which she modifies on the spot according to my responses. Throughout the session, she constantly checks on my condition and tests my abilities in order to better tailor the subsequent exercises. At the end, she does a quick review and summary and always ends with an encouraging note. She doesn’t sting on time and is always willing to hang around for a quick chat after the sessions. Thanks for all your help Carmelle!

Carmelle has been amazing in helping me recover from knee pain and rebuild strength. She started with gentle exercises and gradually increasing intensity as I improved. Her expertise, clear guidance, and encouragement made all the difference. Now, I feel stronger and more confident. Highly recommend them!

I had an amazing experience at Retrofit, thanks to my trainer, Carmelle! She was recommended by my physiotherapist at Core Concepts to help with my shoulder and neck issues, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Carmelle is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. She took the time to understand my problem areas and designed a personalized program that not only helped me recover gradually at my own pace, but also strengthened my body to prevent future issues. Carmelle is easy to talk to and her guidance and encouragement has made each session really enjoyable. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares and knows how to help with rehabilitation and strength-building, I highly recommend Carmelle at Retrofit!

Li Hoong was a great trainer. In just 5 sessions, I was able to see improvement in my body such as not having to wear my knee guards while walking and feeling more strength in other parts of my body. The exercises she went through with me were very practical, easy to execute and highly effective. She was also very attentive to your needs and lifestyle. Highly recommend her services!

I have had a great experience with Carmelle. She is competent and understands what I need in order to recover. She has also been very encouraging! Love how she follows up to make sure I'm doing well.
