Meet your coach
I’m Elijah, an ACE-certified personal trainer. I learned the craft coaching at Homeground Gym and Kah Fitness before starting Ember Lean.
I’m also a wedding photographer, so I know how posture and body composition show up on camera. The goal isn’t only bigger numbers in the gym. It’s looking and feeling sharp when it matters.
Data first
I track your loads and bodyweight trend, so changes are objective.
Built around your life
Training fits your work and family, not the other way round.
Form before load
Move well first, then add weight. Your joints matter.
A clear plan
You always know what to do next, and why.
Real clients, real results
Everyone starts somewhere different. What they share is consistency, tracking, and a plan that changes when life does.
Gideon Lu, major reset
From leg pain and constant dieting to strong, lean and active. We built a simple template: strength sessions, step targets and meals he could repeat on busy days.
The biggest change wasn’t the weight. It was finally knowing how to train for life.
Peter Aik Tang, wedding prep
Rebuilt strength after an injury and stayed consistent through high-stress work weeks, with joint-friendly lifts and repeatable meals.
The check-ins and clear plan were the difference. Adjustments kept me moving.
Chanta Lattaphone, destination wedding
Already sporty, but needed structure and a deadline. Every progression was planned around the key wedding dates.
Having one person handle both my timeline and training made it much easier.
Chen Ying, strength and shape
Her first time sticking to a proper strength plan. Progressive lifts and steady protein, with no crash diet.
For once I didn’t feel alone figuring it out. Weekly reviews kept me accountable.
Names and small details may be changed to protect client privacy. Results depend on how consistently you train and eat.

Questions people ask
How many times a week do I need to train?
For most busy adults, two or three good sessions a week is the sweet spot. Two full-body sessions work well if you train hard and stay consistent. Three gets you there faster if your schedule allows.
What happens in the first session?
A short movement check, then we learn the key patterns: squat, hinge, push and pull. We set starting weights that are challenging but safe, and you leave with a clear plan for the next few weeks.
Do I need my own gym membership?
It depends where we train. Condo gyms are usually free for residents. Some commercial or private gyms charge membership or a guest fee, and you’re responsible for access and any venue fees. We’ll confirm costs before you buy a pack.
Do you work with beginners or injuries?
Yes. Many clients start with no lifting experience or old aches. We pick joint-friendly exercises and progress carefully, and I can work alongside your physio. Tell me about any injuries or medical conditions before we start. Training isn’t a replacement for medical advice.
How long before I see results?
Most people feel stronger within 3 to 4 weeks. Visible changes usually show around 8 to 12 weeks of consistent training and eating. Bigger transformations take 4 to 6 months.
What if I need to cancel or travel?
Give 24 hours’ notice to reschedule, or the session counts as used. Packs are paid upfront, are non-refundable and are valid for the period listed. I can extend a pack for travel, illness or injury.
Tell me your goal and your timeline.
I’ll tell you what’s realistic and which plan fits. Include where you’d like to train and how many days a week you can commit.
