FAZIRA’S PERSONAL TRAINING TESTIMONIAL
On 4 Dec 2024, Fazira decided that she was going to do her first ever pull-up in 2025. She gave herself until August.
On 4 Mar 2025, only three months later, she did it. In her disbelief, she did another—just to be sure.
Getting there wasn’t easy. It felt impossible at first because there’s hardly any visible progress between unsuccessful attempts. But Fazira stayed resilient and trusted the process.
We focused on:
• Pull-up variations and regressions – using negative pull-ups and assisted variations for exposure to achievable, task-specific practice.
• Building strength and muscle in the vertical pull – progressing in lat pulldowns from low to medium rep ranges.
• Supporting muscles – incorporating direct bicep work to ensure they were not a limiting factor.
The real game-changer was having access to a pull-up bar and consistently doing banded pull-ups as homework between our sessions. The increase in training frequency and volume helped bridge the gap and push her over the hurdle. It also helped that she came back from a short holiday feeling refreshed—and with a boost of happy vibes from @uarmyhope‘s concert, which definitely added some extra fuel.
This was as much a mental battle as a physical one, and she never backed down. I am incredibly honoured to have been a part of her journey.
