From chubby and insecure in 2017 to embracing a healthier me, my fitness journey is built on 4 key fundamentals:

1. Find a supportive community.
2. Do what I love so I look forward to daily activities.
3. Show up every day, whether I'm feeling happy, sad, or sore. Consistency is key.
4. Celebrate every small win to keep the motivation alive. Growth may be slow, but recognizing progress keeps me on track.

Remember to set a goal for where you want to be, and you'll get there.

Join me on this journey and follow @danieldarrenng for accountability!

Race week ritual: a fresh cut at Hair Maison before every race.

The owner, Lewis, is a fellow HYROX fan, so we ended up talking race strategy, pacing, and everything in between. The only problem? I forgot to stand in frame while capturing the conversation. Rookie mistake.

Then I got so comfortable in the chair, I fell asleep three times.

Fresh cut, fresh confidence. If the aerodynamics don’t help, at least I’ll look ready at the start line. Let’s see if the haircut magic works this weekend.

I understand it’s disruptive.
I understand your race is approaching.
And I understand that you don’t want to break your routine.

However, it’s best to find alternatives during this period, especially as haze levels are spiking.

Consider adjusting your training schedule, moving your workout indoors, or opting for lower-intensity alternatives. As your personal trainer, I can help you plan and adjust your workouts so you can continue training safely without compromising your race preparation.

Nike gifted me the Hybrid RN, but they didn’t get to choose my opinion.

After putting it through sled pushes, lunges, carries, heavy lifts, short runs, and full Hyrox training sessions, here’s the honest verdict:

This isn’t a race-day shoe. It’s heavier and chunkier than what I’d choose for racing—but as a training shoe, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Stable, comfortable, grippy, and versatile enough to handle everything in one session without making you swap shoes halfway through.

So yeah, go ahead and return them—unless you actually enjoy changing shoes halfway through your training day. 😏

The head-to-head comparison is next.

I track every rep, split, and macro—but I had never properly checked what was happening inside my body.

So I took PROTOCOL Health's Core Health Test: over 100 biomarkers, doctor-led results, personalized nutrition guidance, and a clear plan to follow.

My PROTOCOL Score came back at 94/100, with a biological age five years younger than my actual age. But the biggest value was finding out what I could improve, and having experts explain exactly what to do next. A retest in 6 months is also included to see if what I’m doing is working.

The Core Health Test starts from S$649/year.

Book your Core Health Test through the link in my bio for S$50 off your membership.

Pure Games 2026.

Had the privilege of teaming up with @ayumi.g_ishere and @maxmaxmaaaax with one goal: go all out and see where we landed. Turns out, we landed on the podium.

A great way to kick off my monthly competition season through January. Training is ramping up, and I’m ready to take it all on.

These photos looked far too good to stay in my camera roll.

Bulgarian split squats. Everyone hates them.
Nobody can replace them. And they're the cornerstone of the leg progression plan I just built for you 👇

I put together a full leg strengthening progression — from beginner to race-ready — designed to get your legs strong enough for Hyrox and running. Here's how it works:

Phase 1 — Build the base (Weeks 1-4)
🔹 Bodyweight squats → Goblet squats
🔹 Static lunges → Reverse lunges
🔹 Glute bridges → Single-leg glute bridges
🔹 Wall sit holds (build time under tension)

Phase 2 — Load it up (Weeks 5-8)
🔹 Goblet squats → Front-loaded squats
🔹 Reverse lunges → Walking lunges (weighted)
🔹 BSS introduced — bodyweight first, nail the balance
🔹 Romanian deadlifts → Single-leg RDLs
🔹 Step-ups with progressive load

Phase 3 — Hyrox & running ready (Weeks 9-12)
🔹 BSS loaded — dumbbells, then contralateral loading
🔹 Tempo BSS (3-second eccentric for knee stability)
🔹 Sled push/pull integration
🔹 Weighted walking lunges (Hyrox race simulation — 200m)
🔹 Compromised runs after leg sessions (training your legs to run tired)

Why this matters for Hyrox and running:

✅ Unilateral strength — fixes left-right imbalances that cause injury
✅ Anti-rotation — your core has to work overtime to keep you stable
✅ Runner's secret weapon — single-leg power transfers directly to your stride
✅ Knee health — strengthens the stabilisers around the knee when done right
✅ Hyrox essential — lunges are a race station. BSS builds the exact strength you need
✅ Progressive overload — you don't jump to the hardest variation day one. You earn it.

The "best alternative" to Bulgarian split squats is building up to them properly so you can do them with confidence, the right tempo, and progressive load.

Comment "LEGS" and I'll send you the full progression plan. If you've been avoiding leg day because of knee or back pain — that's literally what this plan is designed around. Every phase has regressions so you can start wherever you are. taken in Singapore / Singapura / 新加坡 / சிங்கப்பூர் by @danieldarrenng

Sweat ➡️ showers ➡️ training ➡️ repeat.

When you train twice a day, scalp care becomes part of recovery. I double cleanse after workouts and finish with HOM Fortify Tonic to keep my routine simple and consistent.

You can be the fittest person in the gym and still get humbled by Hyrox. 🏃‍♂️

I've seen it too many times.

💪 Athletes who can row insane splits fresh — but fall apart at station 6 when the legs are gone.

🧱 People who smash 50 wall balls unbroken in training — then can barely string 10 together at race because they never trained with a strategy.

🔥 Runners who hit every interval in training — then go out too hot on race day and crawl across the finish line.

Hyrox isn't about who's the strongest or the fastest.
It's about who's the most efficient.
It's about pacing. Transitions. Knowing when to push and when to settle.
Learning from every simulation, not just surviving them.

That's what I coach.
That's what I race by.
I've helped clients shave 10+ minutes off their Hyrox PB — not by training harder, but by training smarter.

🧠 If you're prepping for your next race, save this as your checklist. And if you want a coach who walks the talk — I'd love to chat.

Drop me a DM! 👇
