On 15 June, I headed over to Phillip Wain over at United Square for Zumba Master Class with David Velez. David Velez is a Zumba education specialist for South East Asia. He has been a fitness instructor, personal trainer and modern dancer for over a decade and is known for his creative teaching style & high energy class.

For those of you whom are not familiar with Phillip Wain, it is an exclusive women only gym with female gym instructors. Doesn't that reminds you of UOB Lady's card's tagline - the men don't get it?

Having said that, calling Phillip Wain a gym definitely don't do justify to the amount of services that it provides apart from regular gyms. Why do I say so? Well, read on to find out more!

Before heading to the Zumba Master Class, I went to the Powder Room to get changed. You see, Phillip Wain don't refer to the toilet as toilet or ladies but they call it Powder Room.

It was definitely a good workout. I mean, its always good to break out in perspiration whenever you are exercising. I feel more relaxed, less tired mentally each time I sweat it out be it after a run or gym. 


Although it wasn't my first time doing Zumba, Phillip Wain Zumba Master Class was a little challenging for me (because I haven't been running for 2 weeks and Yoga the day before doesn't count!). It was both a mixture of fast paced steps that required good coordination between your arms and legs (I need to work on this!) and good stamina as well as some slow motions that tested my endurance. 

David told us that he wanted to see our smile throughout the class before the commencement of the class. Indeed, I saw most of the ladies in the class doing Zumba with a big smile, not just because of what David said but I could tell that they were genuinely enjoying the class and having fun. I think this is very important because if you're having fun, it makes exercising a lot more fun and you probably won't keep track of the time (like how long more to the end of the class or how tired you are feeling).  

I like how David made sure that we all feel engaged in the class by demonstrating each step to us and counting the steps once for each set and then giving us the autonomy to complete the rest of the set ourselves. It makes us feel that we are in charge me feel that I'm in charge!

Here's my very charismatic and fun Zumba instructor for the day!

Its a plus one invite so for members whom brought along their BFF, both the member herself and her BFF received a complimentary welcome goodie bag filled with ATP, vouchers and products (worth $180)!

 

The Phillip Wain drawstring bag is so handy that I use it to put my workout clothes each time I head to gym.

After the Zumba Master Class with David Velez, I popped by Health Juice Bar (within the premises of Phillip Wain) to check out what they had to offer. 

Don't be put off by the name of the bar. If you think they are all about sandwiches and salads, you're wrong. In fact, they have got curry chicken, bak kut teh, fried beehoon and prawn beehoon soup just to name a few.
