Profile
Val started CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting in 2019. She has competed in the CrossFit Opens 2021, Singapore National Olympic Weightlifting Championships 2022, Under Armour Compete 2022 and DVSN Athletics (Team Category) 2023. On her potential agenda: HYROX 2024 🏃🏼♀ Recently, she has incorporated golf, tennis into her routine and is dabbling in football.
"I have generally been relatively active, taking part in competitive team sports (Netball and Handball) in my secondary and tertiary days. I got introduced to CrossFit and really got into the sport when I returned to Singapore and embarked on my first corporate role."
Looking back on her first CrossFit class and challenges with the sport: "Felt really humbled. Engine was decent but every other movement required strength and technique to 'win' - for example, Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics. I'm naturally competitive so I wanted to climb the ranks really quick. 😂 Spent a lot of time honing my technique and putting in the work outside of regular classes.
Thankful for a very helpful community of individuals from various boxes that helped me improve along the way."
On what she likes about CrossFit and what keeps her motivated: "The camaraderie and competitive atmosphere; as well as the satisfaction in constantly surpassing my own perceived ceilings (mentally and physically); the excitement of training to be a well-rounded athlete; and the amazing feats I've witnessed my body been able to do keeps me constantly yearning for more."
