In his younger days, Zavier was always one to shy away from physical activities and often preferred snacking. He would also frequently eat fast food for all three meals. It was to the surprise of no one when he stepped on the scales and found himself borderline overweight. Also, he found that he would struggle to walk up the stairs or to school, and would pant heavily by the end.

In 2012, motivated to change for the better and fearing health complications due to being overweight, Zavier started going to the gym. Not wanting to keep exercise stale and uninteresting, Zavier soon joined Muay Thai, Taekwondo and started adding in Calisthenics into his own workout routine. He also started paying attention to proper nutrition and learnt to prepare his own healthy meals as he knows the importance of a good diet in relation to physical fitness.

Fast forward to today, Zavier has a Diploma in Sports and Exercise Sciences and is currently pursuing a degree in the same field of study. An avid fitness enthusiast, he is a firm believer that exercise can be done anywhere as long as one’s body is capable, regardless of equipment availability, and that fitness should be undertaken by all as a means to lead a fulfilling life.
