Provide More To Family
Key Takeaway: In this guide, Coach Sharm explores evidence-based principles of Provide More for sustainable health and fitness results in Singapore.
Parents: Here’s Why You’re Not Getting Results From Doing Hours Of Cardio
My client told me how happy he is to now be able to provide more for his family. He used to tell me how he has been stagnant with his career for years and this had him worrying about the future of his family, given his kids are still young and his wife is a stay-at-home.
Building the physical vitality to provide more to your family is the deepest, most enduring motivation for fitness consistency. In Singapore's high-stress urban rhythm, fathers and mothers often sacrifice their health under the mistaken belief that self-neglect is noble. At BodyThrive at Sultan Plaza #03-10, Coach Sharm (MSc Exercise & Sports Science) reframes personal fitness as essential family leadership. By investing in high-efficiency 45-minute strength workouts, optimizing cardiovascular endurance, and lowering chronic visceral fat risk, parents build the physical stamina to play actively with their children, protect long-term longevity, and model lifelong wellness.
It wasn’t like this before. He always has that burning spirit to work hard. Not until the stresses and pressures of being his family’s sole provider took its tool and piled up on his gut. He gained 15kg of excess weight.
It didn’t end there.
- He started getting tired easily.
- He was always feeling lethargic.
- He goes to work and feel he’s not being productive.
- He doesn’t have much energy to play with his kids and enjoy intimate time with his wife.
- His health was deteriorating and his doctor advised him that his high cholesterol levels may put him at higher risk of having heart attacks and stroke.
Everything is slowly falling apart.
Even his performance at work is not getting any better.
Until one day, he decided to finally take an action towards losing the excess fat and change his lifestyle for the better.
Through systems and routines, he was able to overcome the hurdles of always stress-eating and lacking the motivation and discipline to do physical activities.
It wasn’t perfect. During the first 2 weeks, his weight was yoyoing.
But then he put his game face back on and managed to get back on track – ultimately losing all of the excess fat.
All throughout this process, he also learned from me the other aspects of a healthy lifestyle that most people ignore:
✅ Getting enough deep sleep
✅ Setting aside time for his kids and partner
✅ Having “me” time – in his case, practising & improving his hobby in photography.
✅ Trying not to get overworked
✅ Having a plan and sticking to his schedule
✅Staying hydrated
And all of these paid off big time as he was recently promoted to his job! Congratulations, bro!
With more confidence and more energy that he found during this losing weight journey, he was inevitably thriving at work. He found himself being more productive even without clocking in overtime hours. He comes home from work to his family feeling happy that his kids are getting enough food and decent education. He comes home to his loving wife, relieved in knowing that they both are in good health condition and that they have enough savings to be able to envision their future with their family.
As a body transformation coach, I am trained in psychology at postgraduate and master degree levels. I’m also trained in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). These important pieces of the puzzle in body transformation are extremely important in order to see sustained changes in your body.
A successful story like this is just a sample from what I hear from many of my other clients.
Fat loss is not just about exercise and nutrition – that is easy, once you know the basic principles of how to raise your metabolism smartly. In fact, what you need is just 10 minutes to start exercising at home while watching your favourite shows on the TV or device, THAT IS IT.
Here’s what I will coach you on, if you have me as your fat loss and body transformation coach:
Pillar 1: Set up simple, doable systems and being good at it. So that you can prioritise your life and get back your hot, younger body again.
Pillar 2: Maximise your efforts in the shortest time possible so you don't waste time doing the wrong things.
Pillar 3: Make sure that you are doing the right doable things, for the right targets and goals, so that you won't struggle ever again.
Pillar 4: Be in control of your environment, so your body and mind will thrive, together with your loved ones.
I’ve coached more hundreds, if not thousands of people to help them achieve a healthier body.

Common Questions on Evidence-Based Protocols
How can I find time to exercise when I have young children and a full-time job?
Focus on consistency and efficiency over duration. Two to three 45-minute sessions per week at BodyThrive Sultan Plaza #03-10 provide 90% of the health and strength benefits you need, without taking significant time away from family.
How does staying fit benefit my children psychologically?
Children model behaviors, not words. When children see their parents prioritize strength training, eat balanced meals, and enjoy outdoor physical activities, they naturally adopt these foundational habits for life.
What are the best outdoor family activities in Singapore for burning calories?
Renting bicycles at East Coast Park Marine Cove, walking through the Southern Ridges or Botanic Gardens, and swimming at ActiveSG pools are fantastic ways to combine family bonding with high energy expenditure.
Can strength training help eliminate chronic parenting-related back pain?
Yes. By learning how to brace the core, hinge properly from the hips, and strengthening the glutes and hamstrings, back pain from lifting children and strollers is completely eliminated.
