From Self-Doubt to Empowerment.
From a young age, Van struggled with her body image and the lack of confidence which often left her with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. The world seemed too loud, and chaotic, especially for someone like her — an introvert with an uncertain sense of self. Van started researching all things fitness, nutrition and exercise as an overweight teen, and soon grew to fall in love with working out on her own. Along the years, the gym soon became her solace, where she discovered the importance of self-love, consistency, resilience and discipline during her Muay Thai training camps.
Fitness changed her life. Van’s fire for reaching out to the masses made her pursue a career in the industry in her early 20s, with her target audience being the general population in the initial years of her career — when she had the opportunity to work with numerous corporate companies, schools, various gyms, and train The Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Armed forces.
In 2012, Van found her calling to share her light and energy to a very specific niche, women. That led her to setting up Van Lee Fitness – Singapore’s first all-women Muay Thai gym; a badass but welcoming space, just for women. She’s never looked back since.
