Although our knowledge in fitness and health has advanced, Malaysians still have misconceptions about strength training. That is one of the many observations of Eddie Shahrizad, who has cultivated a passion for fitness since his university days.
A real estate negotiator by trade, Eddie is also a certified Master Functional Trainer from the Functional Training Institute in Australia and a Certified Strength an Conditioning Specialist from The National Strength and Conditioning Association in the US.
“Most people work out to lose weight, but that is the wrong idea. You work out to build strength, you control your nutrition to lose weight. But the two work hand-in-hand for a healthy lifestyle,” explained Eddie.
