I don’t usually post much about myself, my work, or the people I coach—not because it doesn’t matter, but because I’m usually too focused on doing the work to record it. I handle most of it alone, so apologies if I’ve missed anyone in this video.

This year challenged my confidence and trust—in myself and in others. It taught me to stay grounded, ignore the noise, and keep my integrity intact, even when doubted, underestimated and when people took shortcuts to benefit .

I’ve learned that real peace comes from progress. Not titles or outcomes, but genuine curiosity and improvement.

From expanding into new sports, rebuilding basics, returning from injuries, first-timers to experienced athletes. From no medals to medals, semis to finals, bronze or silver to gold—stronger both mentally and physically. Around 78 people I worked with last year. Whether visiting or learning short-term or training long-term, I’m grateful for the trust and the lessons we shared.

I’m thankful to those who recommended me for bigger opportunities I had to turn down due to workload—gutted every time, but wishing everyone the best. Many coaches don't say this enough, but I'm also thankful to all the physios and coaches for working with me, without your expertise it would've been much harder figuring things out and learning.

It hasn’t been easy for any of you, but this journey is something we share, and I hope you’re proud of how far you’ve come.

Nothing fancy. I’ll keep showing up—quietly and consistently. As long as you do for yourself too. by @sarayapkw

Haven't been able to introduce my company, simply because of what life threw at me for the past few long months. But hey, better late than never right?

Elevate aims to bring you on a journey to be 1% stronger and better everyday to raise your bar. Whether your fitness goals be fat loss/building muscle, strength for daily activities/ an active sporting life, pre and post natal wellness, or just starting to be active to get out of your shell, I will walk that path with you throughout your entire journey, curated just for you according to your needs and level of fitness.

As a former athlete, training has always brought out the best in me both mentally and physically. For the most part, It made me feel at home and that I had the ability to pull through life. I'm glad that I'm also already seeing this is in most of my clients to date. :) I hope that I could help inspire you to feel the same way and fall in love with movement to be a more active, stronger and healthier you no matter the level you're at.

4 generations of us, one club, one flag. 🇲🇾

Coaching and watching these kids grow and represent the country just like I did has been such a priviledge — for them to head to World Championships together — is something I don't have words for.

I used to be the one walking through this airport as an athlete, dreaming of moments like this. Now I get to watch them live and experience it, only wasted that I can't be there because of obligations back home .

Thank you for making my post 2017 SEA Games dream come true in a way I didn't expect. Thank you also to TM for the opportunity for these young athletes.

What a privilege to send them off representing Malaysia, and also see the rest of the team off too.

All the best Team Malaysia. 🥋🇲🇾 by @sarayapkw

Kids looked pretty cool. Would've been a waste if I've never posted them up. 😅

Deeply wished that all my athletes had a pic of them in action, still thankful to have some to be reminded as good memories of how hard they all fought- even those not in pic.

Congratulations to all. It's a good run.
Thank you all athletes,coaches and parents for your hard work and dedication. We have much more to learn and develop. 🙏

A snippet of Lynn's "annual f2f training session" . It really happens once every year (she's happily residing in New Zealand ) , but we consistently meet up online for sessions. Hahaha great to see you back everytime, sessions has been fun for years with jokes. I've always enjoyed seeing her doubt herself then realises that she is capable of breaking PRs where she can now be frustrated and casually say "tsk not even that heavy scared for what " .🤣

Looking forward to more strength gains and laughers! by @sarayapkw
