Welcome Note 

Welcome to Witness Fitness! I am Nicole, a senior student studying in Hong Kong. Besides being an eager learner, I am also a competitive distance runner and the captain of my school’s Division 1 Cross Country Team. I am also a competent swimmer, skier and golfer and basically enjoy all sports.

I created Witness Fitness because I wanted more people to understand that being physically fit starts with the courage to try. In primary school, I was the tall, skinny girl that ran like a newborn giraffe. I had horrible coordination and lacked endurance when I ran. I could barely run two laps on the track and when I did, I would be short of breath. Sad, I know, but believe me, when you make a commitment to keep working at it and believe in yourself, you will see improvement before you know it.

For me, I worked out regularly at home during school suspension (COVID) and focused on strength training and improving my agility. I learned to gradually increase my repetitions and incorporated harder routines into my training. When I felt my balance and strength was adequate, I started to run. First, it was just a couple of laps around the track. It soon evolved to 2km, 5km, then to 10 km. Looking back, I can't help but smile at the progress I had made during the long (and at times grueling) six months of on-and-off schooling when I was able to run 10K at a time -- enjoyably. I am not saying exercising is easy, but if you commit to it, you will witness your fitness transformation and become a healthier and more athletic version of yourself. Don’t let the pandemic restrain you, exercising can start right here, right now, in your home. How easy is that?
