Ricepump Fitness

This is the second time I've worked with a personal trainer, and through just two sessions, I understand how much of a positive difference a great trainer like Tim can make. He is extremely attentive and accommodating, making sure you are heard and that your questions in and out of sessions are answered promptly. When I bring up specific physical limitations, Tim is immediately able to provide an alternative move that works with me and additional exercises that help to alleviate the limitation gradually. I also appreciate his check ins throughout the week because it serves as a reminder for me to stay motivated.

I was initially anxious before my first session because I felt clueless when it came to working out, but Tim has eased that anxiety by creating and scheduling clear workout plans that I can follow when working out alone. The amount of time and attention that Tim puts into each of his clients is undeniable, and that alone encourages me to push myself harder. More...

Tim, this isn’t really a review but my sincere THANK YOU letter to you.

At first I was honestly just looking to fork some money in on a trainer so that I will have no choice but to “make it to the session. ” - that was my mindset. I was this depressed, disorganized, reluctant, blame-everyone/everything-but-me type of a person. I was constantly comparing myself to how I WAS in the past… when I USED TO BE skinnier, when I was younger, when i was in shape, when i was punctual, when i was tidy… oh the list goes on.

In 2023 I started working out with you and as more sessions go by I started to really appreciate how genuinely passionate you are in helping others achieve a better version of themselves (on top of your knowledge and experience ofc). You always adapt to your learners’ level. You connect with your clients beyond just counting reps and enforcing a program. To people who are suffering from frail mental or/and physical health, you really are doing a life saving, impactful work for the society.
A few months fast forward, I went from a couch potato at her heaviest weight, to now able to go to the gym all by myself at my own will (ladies, you know how intimidating gyms can be), I look for different activities/sports to do daily, itch for a good sweat session if I miss a workout, and most of all, I am so much happier. My outlook on life is no longer “I used to be ABC, but now i can’t do it be because XYZ.” I fully accept who I am now and just enjoy witnessing the little improvement and changes I make along the journey. It is much more liberating and fulfilling. I don’t live in the past as much anymore. I feel like I am finally walking forward instead of in circles. There will be obstacles but at least now have better foundation and tools that I can utilize to get back on my feet.

Thank you for pushing me but also being patient with me. Thank you for guiding me with your program but also listening to me (I know I talk way too much lol). Your holistic approach has really sparked a fire in me. I am super excited for the hard work we are going to put in for what’s coming up in 2024. LFG TEAM RICEPUMP 💪🏻 More...

Tim is a down to earth guy. He makes you feel like he's in the trenches with you. I tried to quit my training because I was going through some stuff but. .. Tim didn't let me and honestly I'm glad that he made me push through! I learned a lot about key aspects in my foundation that were lacking and how to engage my core properly in each exercise. More...

Excellent trainer. Knows how to motivate you. High attention to exercise detail. Always available for questions in person or text.

Tim has been helping me with my weight goals for 6 months. He has completely changed my fitness and nutrition mindset for the better. I am confident the habits i have picked up will remain part of my lifestyle for a long time. More...

This was my first time working with a personal trainer. Tim is a very passionate, humorous and encouraging trainer. He listened to my needs and goals, and tailored made the plan for me. He paced with me and set challenging but reachable goals. Tim helped me to find ways to change my diet and living style into a healthier way without killing the fun in lift. Hence, it is more sustainable for me. He also helped me a lot with my posture and form as I work a desk job. I would highly recommend Tim as your personal trainer! More...

It was my first time working with a personal trainer. I was feeling anxious at the beginning because my body was very weak. However, Tim is always being patient and encouraging me to start from small steps. I appreciate very much that he is not only focused on helping me build up muscle and strength, but also works a lot on my posture and form. I have also learnt how to keep a healthy diet in daily life! After 6 months, I have never been so confident with my body. If you are finding a professional, encouraging and passionate personal trainer, I would highly recommend Tim! More...

Tim is a great trainer very patient and spends the time to show and explain many details when doing the workouts.He is very mindfull about my nutrition and checks to see if i am doing things properly. Tim really cares and that shows in every session we have, always available to respond to questions any time of the day.l highly recommend him. More...

I struggle with stiffness and knots in my shoulders and back. Once I started working with Tim and he developed a customized routine for me, the stiffness and reoccurring knots disappeared.

I have had many PT’s in my life and I can honestly say Tim is one of the best.
I reached out to Tim 2 months ago as I needed some help getting in shape for my wedding day, unlike most trainers Tim’s main focus in not only to get you to your ideal physique he also focuses on strengthening your body and your mindset.

His upbeat, positive, personality makes working out enjoyable, I have already seen a drastic change in my body and in my flexibility which is something I have been working on for years.

I would definitely recommend Tim. More...

Tim’s a PT not only coaches fitness but also positive thoughts. He customizes effective and efficient workout and diet plan for individual’s goal. My body shape and strength have improved significantly in just a month. Every session is full of sweat and laugh. It has been a pleasure to grow muscle and mind with him. More...

Tim is everything you are looking for in a trainer, attentive, helpful also knowledgeable. He will customize your plan according to your needs and these plans often changes to go along with your progress. So don’t hesitate to call if you are looking for a good trainer!!! More...

Tim offers a high-value product every time you set foot into a session and does not disappoint. He is committed to his client's goals and will keep you accountable. Tim makes you feel like a celebrity because he is a complete support system. He gives tips and advice about macros and adjusts them to help you meet your goals. He responds promptly to questions and messages and never fails to provide support. He focuses greatly on form and posture which allowed me to lift heavier weights faster and safer. Before meeting Tim, I was afraid to go to the gym and only worked out if I went to group classes. With Tim's customized workouts and his dedicated program, I feel confident and able at the gym. I have been to a couple of personal trainers before, and Tim is by far the best. If you are looking for a boost in your fitness journey, do not go anywhere else. I am 10 pounds down and pumped to continue on this fitness journey with Tim's support and teachings. More...

I'll be honest, I have been trying to take control of my health and get in shape for the past few years but nothing seemed to stick. Until I met Tim. Outside of the knowledge he has for the muscle groups, workouts, and nutrition, he's a great individual to learn from. I did not feel intimidated at all during my first session, and it was really enjoyable. He gives you a personalized workout and nutrition plan based on what you're trying to achieve and not some cookie-cutter plan that you can find with a google search. Tim is a great coach and an amazing mentor. I learn something new every session and I finally feel like I have control of my health. Not to mention, I lost 14lbs in the first month thanks to his plan. I look forward to continued sessions. More...

He is very detailed in his explanations- as someone that has trouble following directions, i find his explanations and directions really easy to follow and implement. he guides you to the fullest to achieve your goals; if you have any questions regarding anything (big or small) at any day or time he will always answer to his fullest. You can see that he is a very genuine person that loves what he does, so you will also feel that dedication being put in your journey. More...

As a rock climber with no experience with a personal trainer and a few injuries, Tim was a fantastic introduction to the personal training experience. He kept my goals, and my concerns in mind throughout my session. He completed my assessment all while giving me feedback and helpful tips for exercising in the future. His small tweaks in my form also helped me enjoy exercises I normally disliked, probably because I had been doing them incorrectly for so long. Thank you Tim! More...

Tim’s approach is simple. Proper technique and engaging the correct muscles slowly . I would highly recommend Tim as a trainer as he’s a trainer that is very aware of how the body functions and performs.

An incredible PT! He’s always checking up on your progress. He always challenges you to help you reach your goal. He’s also honest with you. Ricepump is the type of PT that motivates you ALOT and finds different ways for you to reach your goal whenever a plan does not work for you. On top of that, he’s a cool guy and a funny person too!! It was an incredible experience working with him! More...

It was my first time working with a personal trainer, but I found that working with Tim was undoubtedly the most effective training that I have done. He has a clear enthusiasm for training and has an excellent background certification-related to fitness. The most important question I asked myself before finding a personal trainer was who would help me get the results I wanted. Firstly, Tim taught me techniques that I could not master through observation alone or a new set of exercises that I could do anywhere without working in the gym. Secondly, he does not want to be focused on scheduling a new session or keeping me around; instead, Tim is a results-focused person. He helped me to adjust my workout, putting in the time so he could see me get results. Overall, Tim is highly competent as a trainer who gives his clients' training requirements and gives a lot of thought and effort. More...

All in the details! I appreciate the attention to form and correction Tim gives. My body doesn’t listen very well so he needs to repeat himself - which I don’t think he minds! Minor details that make major improvements. And when he realizes a part of my body isn’t functioning like it should, we’ll backtrack to make it work better (stretch it or strengthen it!). He brings a positive energy but is also laid back - which is appreciated at 6am gym sessions :) More...

Training with @ricepump was such a great experience. I highly recommend Tim @ricepump as a personal trainer. He provided personalized programs and advice for me. We worked a lot on my posture and form. Having had been sitting and looking at the screen for so long, my shoulders are really stiff and Tim taught me some exercises to loosen up and strengthen the relevant muscle groups for better posture. This really helps when I train by myself too.

Besides being an excellent personal trainer, he’s one of the kindest, resilient and pure-hearted person I know.

I would not hesitate to recommend Tim to anyone interested in personal training. Super worth it! More...

Working with Tim was honestly such a great experience! Tim is very knowledgeable, kind, and easy to work with, but he’ll definitely make sure that you don’t slack off on your workouts and your diet! If you’re willing to put in the work and you want a coach that’ll push you and get you the results that you desire, then Tim is your guy! More...

I did a couple months of training with Tim back in 2019. Prior to working out with him I had little to no knowledge of lifting. After learning the basics from Tim I was inspired to really dive deep into weight lifting. Now I am a trainer myself and am in the best shape of my life. Tim was a huge inspiration to me! He’s knowledgeable and will definitely help you kickstart your fitness journey. More...

Tim was my training for at least a couple of years. He helped me with not only training the body, but also the mindset. During the training sessions, he showed me that weight lifting is not only about adding weights, but to isolate individual small group muscles. I had two injuries from previous workouts and I’ve been scared to some workouts ever after. Tim patiently help me to correct my form as to prevent further injuries. Unlike some trainers, he actually cares about the clients as a person. He is patient and professional. He planned my workout and diet intake for me and with his help, I have known my body better and have never been so comfortable and confident living in my body! More...

It is a pleasure working out with Ricepump. He is passionate about his work, patient to his clients, and very professional of what he does. He would be a good choice if you want to be better not only in shape but also in mindset. More...

Great trainer, Tim is awesome at checking up on you to make sure you get to your goal. Great tips on how to improve your posture, and how to properly lift. I highly recommend!

Tim is the best! He really cares about the posture and making sure you are exercising the right body muscles to avoid any injuries.

Very knowledgeable, and always sharing useful information or giving suggestions for improvement.

Tim is a great trainer! He's knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and very motivating. My posture and knowledge about working out had improved for the better since training with him!

Tim's very good at motivating and pushing you towards your goals. Would text to check up and remind me to eat clean. Well worth the drive to train with him highly recommended 💪💪

Tim's workout program was super effective. We achieve our goal by the end of the third month! Which is getting the hourglass body shape 😌

He is a responsible trainer and helped me a lot for shaping my body.

My first impression of Tim was that he was very kind and knew what he was talking about! I learned some stretching techniques that really helped my lower back and I also got some great activation drills for my glutes and core. We also worked on some intense muscle tension relief so if you need a trainer for deep tissue work Tim’s your man. More...

He helped me with my workout posture and really told me what I needed to focus on

Tim is a very knowledgeable trainer. He trains in the right way and adjusts my meal plan and workout routine as my body changes. Great!

Hands down the the best personal trainer I’ve had. He genuinely cares about you, not only in terms of physical health but mental health as well. I’m pumped up and excited to work out now also highly recommend to anyone who may have work out anxiety aswell! More...

Ricepump is extremely passionate about what he does and is dedicated to getting his clients to achieve their goals. He works hard and pushes his clients to achieve the results they want, and is also really patient. I enjoyed having Ricepump as a personal trainer, he made me more aware of things i used to overlook and has helped me improve posture and overall health and fitness. More...

Tim is a very nice person, I took his personal training classes for a long time and recommended to my friends around me.

When you hire Tim, you’re getting more than just a personal trainer. He is someone that genuinely cares about your goals and will keep you accountable. His direction and cues are easy to follow and you’ll learn a ton in just one session. Get Tim in your corner! More...

Trained with Tim for 6 weeks last summer and learnt lot about proper form and different exercises that addressed my specific concerns. Super attentive and empathetic to my needs as a newbie to training / dieting! More...

Tim is extremely patient and caters his training sessions to my personal goals. His training involves a holistic approach where he also gives consultation in terms in nutrition and diet.

Want a perfect figure? Tim can help you achieve your wish! He is an experienced and patient trainer. Tim is not only an excellent trainer but also a good fried！

Best trainer out of 5 I've had. Knowledgeable, attentive and adaptive. Tailored to your preferences, experience and goals. A motivator and a hustler that'll push you to become a better version of yourselves even if you don't train with him anymore. More...

Tim is a highly motivated trainer and is very dedicated to give you the results you seek. Very easy to talk to and highly knowledgeable and always willing to share the knowledge and experience he gained over the years of hard work he put in for your progress! Highly recommend hiring Ricepump fitness for your fitness goals, worth every penny! More...

I had a lot of fun doing the group session back in November and the private was so challenging mainly because of the weightlifting . I’ve gotten better after the couple of session so thank you for helping me stay fit RICEPUMP 😊 More...

Tim is very responsible. He doesn’t only make an excellent use of our training time, he also makes sure the food I eat is healthy and beneficial to my fitness goal. He is not only a good trainer, but also a good listener who is very easy to talk to. I enjoyed every session! More...
