Happy faces! Big smiles after the incredible acro yoga session!

ACROVINYASA Acroyoga Workshop with Sara Wee and Rachel Ng

Our friends from The Yoga Mandala came by for our first ever Acroyoga ACROVINYASA Workshop! Leading the class was Sara Wee and Rachel Ng, who led us from solo vinyasas, to (erm) team-bonding activities, and finally with partner inversions and acroyoga. A happy group of 15 SURFSET regulars turned up to get stacked and get jacked.

Sara did promise that things may get chaotic during the session, and boy it did. Lots of triumphant high-fives, spotters rushing to catch a fall, nervous laughter, flat-out laughter, and the occasional scream. Needless to say, we all had great fun. Shuyi had the foresight to get her husband help film a short video for the enjoyment of everyone. Here it goes!

“$5?! That’s like half the price of a plate of pasta!”

SURFSET at Asia Xpedition 2016, Suntec

Mummy! It’s over!

Once again we brought our boards out-and-about, this time to a big exhibition hall in Suntec Exhibition and Convention Centre. We were there for Asia Xpedition, a sports and travel fair focusing on adventure. We thought it was a great way to do many activities in one day – at the fair you could do archery, climb a rock wall, bounce on a trampoline, pole dance, ride on a bmx bike, and shoot rubber balls out a paintball gun. Awesome? You bet.

Of course, you could also hop on our boards and start sweating!

Asia Xpedition surfset

We got a pretty big booth at the event, with enough space for five boards, and a little stage for the instructor board so that we could hold classes. We also made a nice little backdrop with our logo so people would know who we are, and take photos in all sorts of cool poses. It looked like this: Read more

For fitness and nutrition, we always preach the keyword – moderation. However, some days it’s good to turn things up a notch and bring things into the extreme.

That’s exactly what we’re going for on the 26th of December, 2015 – BACK TO BACK BURNS! It’s a promotional day where we will run two full-session classes back to back, starting with Balance for 45 minutes, and continuing with Core or Sweat for another 45 minutes! Here’s the deal: this will only count as a single session in your package.

It’ll be the day after Christmas, so it’s going to be perfect for burning off all that Christmas eating and drinking revelry. A superb way to get yourself into shape for making New Year’s resolutions, if you ask us.

Soulscape Yoga Festival - Dream Love Live Joy badges

SURFSET Fitness at Soulscape 2015

We came, we saw, we did yoga poses on our boards. It was an absolutely fantastic day with the haze in remission and the sun nice and bright on the beach. Soulscape 2015 was held early today, and it was early today when we dragged our boards over to Tanjong Beach at Sentosa to join in the fun and festivities of this yoga event.

It’s not our first time at Soulscape. We were also here for Soulscape 2014 and we had a great time, so, we thought, let’s do it again!

Event over!

This event is over! To see what went on during the event, check our event post!

It’s the new, 2015 version of our favourite Yoga event! Favourite because it’s at the beach, and also because we had such a blast at Soulscape 2014 last year! After having such a great time last year, we couldn’t say no to bringing our SURFSET Fitness boards down to Sentosa again this year.

This year’s event features an even wider line up of yoga names, or Tribal Leaders as they like to call it. There’s Cristi Christensen, Daniel Rojas, Amanda Koh, Theresa Shan, just to name a few. Expect music and sound from prominent names like DJ Doopz and Clara Chua. And it’s not just a yoga event – there will be plenty of other activities such as healing, dance, and of course, SURFSET! We’re listed in the page – see here!

Once again, we’ll be having a set of challenge yoga poses for you to attempt on our board – they range from the simple tree pose to the harder crow pose. We’ll be with you, so fret not if you can’t find your footing – it’s harder on the board. But not impossible, as our instructor Shuyi proves:

Yep, looks like she’s flying, just like a graceful crow. Read more

Lorna Jane Fit Challenge at Surfset Fitness

Lorna Jane LJ Fit Challenge with SURFSET Fitness

Had a great time with our Lorna Jane Fit Challengers! As part of the LJ Fit Challenge, SURFSET Fitness Singapore gamely hosted a challenge class for some LJ Fit ladies.

The LJ Fit Challenge is all about embracing active living. We thought – we’re pretty much proponents of that too! Working with activewear brands has always been intuitive for us, because while it’s important to be comfortable in our own skins, we also believe in the importance of being comfortable in our own clothes.
