I recall the first few weeks of boot camp where I saw determined participants “drag” themselves from one station to the next, looking a little gloomy and red in the face, some gasping for air but still you persevered. As the weeks passed, this “dragging” slowly changed to a light bounce in your step till I saw a group of individuals sometimes “struggling” from one station to the next but this time, they encouraged each other, they laughed and talked between stations……most of all they radiated “good health”.

Watching you all each week just encouraged me to continue my workout sessions be it running, cycling, boot camp or going to the gym.

Keeping and staying fit is hard work but it’s also fun and enjoyable and exhilarating and rewarding. Yes we’ll have days when it feels like too much work or we don’t have “enough time” but hopefully this experience will also give you some lasting memories of what living a healthy lifestyle can also bring.

I hope the support from your work colleagues and the wisdom and advice offered by your trainers provides you with the encouragement to make this lifestyle change a permanent one.

I’m looking forward to catching up with you at this Friday’s (6 Nov) launch to be held at Singapore Expo. Encourage your work colleagues, CEO, supervisors, etc to come along and get a taste of the “journey” you’ve experienced.

A BIG congratulations on what you’ve achieved so far and here’s to more personal milestones to come. See you on the exercise trail….

I would like to say a big Thank you for all the encouragement and support that I have recieved over the past 3months. It seems like awfully long ago, but I am glad I took the first step and began my journey towards healthy living. Having gone through so much challenges through this 3 months I feel that I have definitely became stronger, faster, fitter and hopefully leaner. Now with the continuation of the training with you guys, my hope is that I could achieve my target weight for the end of the year!

To all my mates, grp mates,acquintance, and friends!
What journey we have been on yeah?
I would haven’t gone through all that with out all of you. You have truly inspired me to move it move it! To be honest, the spirit that I have witness over the past 3 months is amazing.

Yes Heather.. if they don’t do the anniversary thing, we plan to do it for everyone. This time round, it’ll be a MAKAN session (Halal Pot Luck) instead of an exercise session to celebrate lots and lots of fat lost! Reward, reward, reward!

Sharm : Thank you for the T-shirt in advance.

Just a word for All Trainers [Sharm, Faz, Andyn, Azmy, Ying Bin, Lisa, Hubert, Sukbir, Nurul, Arfah, Aisyah, Sivan, Lester, ...... and other trainers

THANK U for turning me from Exercise hater to Exercise Lover - I believe it is not just me alone and many boot campers also like me.

To appreciate of all your efforts in thinking, planning .... to executing - We will strive to exercise at all time, living a healthy lifestyle.

Maybe sometimes down the road in the future, who knows some of us will become your 'LIVE MODELS and LIVE ADVERTISISEMENT' of your effort you have spent on us for past 12 weeks.

In short, THANK YOU SO MUCH - THAT WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS my feeling and gratitude.

[I wish that HPB will organise a 'ANNIVERSARY' for us, then all of us can come back at one place and see how well we are doing after one year]

Wow its been 12 weeks we’ve been together. And the spirit of camaraderie is so high that we felt comfortable to each other.

Sigh ….. goodbye, sayonara, adios, ciao, selamat tinggal and whatever you called it has come. Punto (full-stop) says and Italian. Friday 6/11/2009 will be our last gathering. Hope we still get in contact ya.

We wish to thank :
