About Daniel Chua

Certified Nutritionist, Personal Trainer, Exercise, Strength & Conditioning Specialist, Self Defence / Combatives Instructor, Martial Artist and Experienced Former Therapy Assistant-turned-Physiotherapist-To-Be at SIT’s 7th Intake, AY 2022/2023. Always “.thinking outside the box…”, as a Physiotherapy Clerk / Assistant during NS, to maximize productivity, details of patient documentation, record management, referral processing, and treatment coordination, I modified the patient database after learning, on my own initiative, the required programming software from scratch. During my initial tertiary studies in ’04, I became a living, breathing success-story, having sustained a near-fatal car crash, with serious injuries to my wrist, femur and ankle. Through life-long tenacity and rehab-focused strength training, involving traditional physiotherapy and not-so-traditional hybrid-rehab-focused-strength training taught to me in my Exercise Specialist Certifications), I have attained full recovery, though the experience has led me to pursue further studies and a career in the fitness industry. In my gym job, my drive for innovation came through, pioneering the curriculum for KickFit, True Fitness’ unique Kickboxing-based Personal Training Workout. Further innovations didn’t stop there, several years later, as Gym Manager of ITE College West, I assisted in the groundbreaking of neoteric PE Lessons, the complete revamp and renovation of the Student Gym. Finally, I revivified a dying CCA Group called Look Good Feel Good, from having a stagnant mere handful of members/attendees, into a bustling hive of activity 4 nights / week. Drawing upon experience from the fitness industry, I developed standardised protocols for fitness program and gym orientation SOPs for St Luke's staff. Skilled in Functional Training, Biomechanics / Injury / Movement Correction, Martial Arts, Exercise Prescription, Teaching, Skills Coaching and Nutrition.
