Variety of equipment at Malaysia’s first BFT studio
BFT prides itself on the community where ordinary people from all walks of life come together to train. The coaches are so much more than instructors. They’re your therapists, the voice in your head telling you to keep going when the going gets tough.
In Malaysia, BFT offers strength and conditioning programs in a group class setting. BFT uses science and technology-based training techniques to drive individual member health goals in an inclusive, coach-led group environment. By combining cardio with resistance programs, members benefit from training a different energy system and different muscle types every day to diversify movement patterns that aim to reduce fat and create lean muscle.
Kickboxing as part of the training
Each person is given a heart rate monitor which you strap across your chest before the start of each session. Your progress is monitored in real-time for maximum results. BFT offers a massive variety of 50-minute programs including cardio, strength, functional and core stability amongst others…. boredom is guaranteed not to exist! Members get the very best, most effective workout by learning how to fully utilize the best-in-class equipment BFT offers, from barbells, squat racks, kettlebells, slam balls, plyometric boxes, and battle ropes, to resistance bands, Concept 2 SkiErg’s, RowErgs, and bikes.
Happy faces after an intense training session
BFT’s first studio in Malaysia opened in Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur on 24 February 2024. Classes are offered daily except Sundays. On weekdays, the first class starts at 6.00am and you can find me there most days of the week except when I am golfing! I have forged many new friendships by attending BFT classes and would recommend RSGC Members check out the programs on offer.
