Client Feature | Emma Pickering

As we are waving goodbye to the first half of 2016, it is now time for a quick recap and progress-check what we all had set out to accomplish. This week, we spotlight on Emma Pickering, our RUMI lucky draw winner in Sixteenfor16 challenge back in January. This easy-going Californian has grown much love over the past 5 years residing here and dearly called Singapore her second home now. Emma and her husband got hooked on the constant excitement of dipping themselves into the Asian cultures, going to new places and meeting friends from all over the world. Much of her old lifestyle have been left behind, but not Xtend Barre. Up till now, she’s been with Upsider family for more than a year.

UM: Hi Emma, could tell us about your experience with Sixteenfor16 challenge?

Emma: This is the very first time I’ve ever done a fitness challenge, and also the longest one. It’s basicly 16 classes in the period of 4 weeks. So if you divide it out to get an equal frequency, you need to attend at least 4 times a week. Usually I attend once or twice during weekdays and once or twice during the weekend, but honestly the challenge is the huge incentive to keep you coming back because: you paid for it! *laugh*. And I like it that I can do my workout at both studios. After the challenge, I could feel that my muscles are more toned and defined. I’m definitely more fit.

UM: So after the challenge, do you come as often?

Emma: Honestly, I’ve tried to! You probably can check my attendance *laugh*. But the challenge was a helpful push!

UM: Other than attending Barre, do you do any other form of exercises?

Emma: Playing tennis and running. For a non-sport activity, I’m usually more relaxed - especially with Barre workout which requires a coordination of different muscle training techniques that I wouldn’t be able to do on my own.

UM: Do you have any friends who joined you for the challenge?

Emma: During that period, my friends were all travelling and couldn’t join. But usually after work we do barre together and head for a cup of coffee afterwards. I really hope that the next challenge fits our schedule better. I love how you track the progress of all challengers with those little blue dots on the board - look at it and I kind of remember the names and faces. Even though the challenge is mostly for yourself but it’s fun to be competitive and see who have done the most so far!

As an end note, here are some of the fun facts you will remember the next time you see her at Upside Motion and stay tuned for another exciting challenge coming your way soon!

1] Things she always get excited about:

Adventurous activities and on the road exploring new places with her husband.

2] The most memorable places:

Burma and Sri-Lanka.

3] Morning ritual: 

Coffee and exercise

4] Night ritual: 

Be mellow and switch-off-the-brain activities.

5] At work: 

If she’s not out seeing clients, Emma is at her desk reading and working with numbers.

6] On a weekend afternoon: 

Errands, friends, tennis, barre, sometimes a spa retreat.

7] Favourite local dish: 

Everyday kaya toast with the soya sauce.

8] Fitness brands she wears: 

Lululemon, Sweaty Betty, Nike, Athleta

[adorn-asheville]

Client Feature: Scot Quaranda! Working with Dogwood Alliance to help save our forests

In past years, Adorn has had the opportunity to help Dogwood Alliance in their efforts to preserve our forests by involving our proactive clients (Way to go, guys!). We also get to stay informed on the issues surrounding our forests during the times that Dogwood Alliance's Campaign Director, Scot Quaranda, comes in to get his hair cut by Amy Grove, but we wanted to know more - we always want to know more! Scot agreed to an Adorn exclusive interview so we could really talk about this amazing organization and all that it has done, and is doing, to save our forests and improve our world.

Scot Quaranda

Scot explains how Dogwood Alliance originally got involved with Adorn: Scot: The first time we did a project with Adorn was when we realized that health and beauty companies, like Unilever and Procter and Gamble, who make a lot of the products that you buy at drugstores, were using a lot of packaging. We were working to get those companies to change; to use more recycled paper, to use less packaging overall, to really reduce, and to make sure that everything else that was used in the packaging was done in a better way. So, that's why we first worked with Adorn. Then we realized that the number one [culprit of overuse] is actually fast food packaging. Adorn was able to help Dogwood Alliance with their campaign to encourage KFC to change their practices towards packaging by having a box of postcards clients could sign that were eventually sent to the CEOs of KFC. There was also a pretty amazing kid named Cole involved in this campaign. He helped make a huge impact, you can watch a video about him here. Here are some examples of the creative media strategies used during the campaign:

On Dogwood Alliance's triumph, Scot explains: Scot: We first worked with McDonald's and convinced McDonald's to dramatically change their practices around packaging by increasing their recycled content and making sure there is no endangered forest in their packaging. The kind of big hold out was KFC - KFC owns Taco Bell and Pizza hut, they're a big signature company. We knew if we could move KFC, we could move anyone.  Dogwood Alliance has had success in greatly influencing the companies they have stood up against. They have also drawn a lot of attention to the importance of preserving our forests. It has been that way since the beginning. Just a mere four years after they originated in 1996, there was a Southern Forest Resource Assessmentto look at the impact that the paper industry was having on southern forests. This was the first ever assessment done in the south and it was a direct result of the effort of the members of Dogwood Alliance. This assessment opened the door to all of the changes that Dogwood Alliance continued to make over the years. From transforming the way that companies like Staples and Office Depot treat their paper production to traveling all the way to Europe to tackle Biomass issues. 

"Dogwood Alliance is about the people that make up our network," Scot says. "It's basically mobilizing the voices of the people of the region in order to make an impact," he adds. Making an impact is what they have done. These are the people that transformed the way that Staples operates around paper by writing letters, attending shareholders meetings, sending emails, and having days of action. One day they had over 200 protests in different Staples around the country. After that Office Depot and Office Max were quick to follow Staples' lead, not wanting to be outdone by their competitor.

The projects Dogwood Alliance is working on today: The Carbon Canopy Project: The basic idea is that 90% of the forests in the south are privately owned so basically, the future of our forests lies in the hands of literally thousands of small, private landowners and I think most of them want to do the right thing and manage them well or not manage them at all - depending on what their individual goals are. There's a lot of pressure to cut or to develop what we wanted to do is find a way where big companies who are buying those products from those forests actually have a way to invest in them being managed better. In this case, it was Staples and Interface Carpets who bought carbon credits from these forests as a way to pay those landowners to set aside the best parts of those lands to make sure that they're never cut and then make sure that the rest are managed to the highest standards of the forest stewardship council, which has a lighter touch on the land than the average forestry. They are able to measure, basically model, how much carbon will be stored in the landscape over a 3 year period.  Biomass: The new push is for big utilities to burn forests for electricity and the craziest part about it right now is that we're not doing so much of that in the U.S., but it's actually Europe that's buying most of our forests to burn. Basically, clear-cutting our forests, turning them into wood-pellets, sending them on big container ships, and shipping them over to Europe so that they can burn them in their mega-power plants. I went to Europe, I went to the UK, because the UK is the leading country that is doing that right now to meet with the department of energy and climate change. Then I went to Brussels to lobby the commissioner on climate change and the commissioner on the environment for all of Europe, as well as, met with a bunch of member of European parliament. 

Do you think the trip was successful? Totally successful. I think we busted a lot of myths about, you know, people think everything is sustainable and certified with no problems. Now they know that there is a real impact from what they're doing and I think that bodes well for future policies that they'll send that hopefully will limit the amount that they're buying rather than dramatically increase like it's projected to.  For more information about Dogwood Alliance and how you can get involved, visit them at their website: www.dogwoodalliance.org

Client Feature | Avryl Lee

It has been a week since Avryl has left the sunny homeland to move on with her new journey in Queensland. Utterly fresh out of her NUH training at the age of 23, she possesses the strength and clear vision of how to live a good and meaningful life. As we wave our goodbye to this cheerful and lovely Upsider, here are 10 amazing facts about her in our 30-minute conversation:

No.01 //  Avryl decided to be a nurse when she was fourteen! One day, she made up her mind: “I think it’s my calling. I want to be a nurse.” When asked why not the other professions and whether she was sure about the tough career of being a nurse, Avril said she knew about the hardship and enjoyed the challenge.

No.02 //Joining our Private Reformer routine was actually...by mistake. Avryl was randomly looking at Instagram and wanted to try our Xtend Barre class. She came in thinking she needed to have some Pilates experience to join the Barre. After her first Pilates experience on the reformer, Avryl got hooked!

No.03 //Her Upsider weekly routine: one private Pilates session on the reformer and two Xtend Barre!

No.04 // Avryl practiced her Pilates routine everyday for a month when she was on holiday oversea trip visiting her aunt. She simply couldn’t stop doing it: “I was afraid that I’d lose the momentum and my body wouldn’t be able to get used to the movement anymore.”

No.05 // On the experience of being with Upside Motion over a year, Avryl said: “As a nurse, I tend to bend my back a lot and my lower back used to hurt after work. After learning how to protect your back using your own body mechanics with Pilates and Barre, I don’t feel that pain anymore. My legs were like jelly before and now, I can feel that there’s more muscle definition!”. Yay!

No.06 //Avryl is fondly known as “The Pancake Queen” by her friends. She loves cooking and baking even though she doesn’t have a sweet tooth.

No.07 // Avryl’s tips on baking healthy goodness: Cut down on sugar and instead, use agave nectar. She also experiments with different kinds of organic products and flours. “Organic products create a wholesome and rich taste that is very different from what you normally get outside.”

No.08 // Her night ritual: Forward roll and backward roll. Finished by a spinal twist to stretch your back muscle. Avryl feels that it’s important to release all the tension in your body before you sleep.

No.9 // Favorite magazines: Kinfolk and Frankie

No.10 // Avryl practices her Calligraphy on her off-days. Here’s a lovely little note she wrote specially for our instructor, Beatriz before she jetting off to Australia.

Client Feature | Mitchell and Kelly

Mitchell Haney and Tian Kelly are a recently relocated Australian couple who have been attending Upside Motion for just upwards of a year. While the man is the advisory manager from Ernst and Young, the woman is the loyalty marketing manager of Intercontinental Hotels Group. They are a goal-driven couple with a lot of ambition and determination. To celebrate Valentine’s day, let’s get to know about this power couple’s fitness routine and how they manage a healthy lifestyle together in Singapore.

UM: Hi Tian and Mitchell, thanks for taking the time to do this profile, so to start with, how did you guys met?

M: We met about 10 years ago? We grew up around the same area in Australia

T: Wow that seems like a long time ago (laughs)

UM: When did you start working out at Upside Motion?

T: I started only 2 months after I moved here. I wanted to try the Xtend Barre classes in Sydney. But I was doing a lot of travelling for work so when I moved over here, I tried to look for a few studios that did it. That’s how I found Upside Motion. I've been doing since about June last year. After about 3 months I started bringing him along.

M: Since I got here for 12 months, without playing any sport, I've sort of been trying to find something though I didn't know what it was. I’ve been whinging about how I can't find something. I've taken up boxing, which has been great. But Upside Motion is another thing altogether. I'm literally back to basics, from the lowest of low sort of starts. It's really been challenging me. She doesn't have to drag me out here very much anymore, I'm pretty keen about it.

UM: (To Tian) Have you tried our Xtend Barre classes?

T: I actually started doing Xtend Barre this year in January. I grew up doing Ballet. I did Ballet for 18 years. I wanted to try the Xtend Barre class to compare what it's like to actual Ballet.

UM: How do you feel about the difference?

T: I think there's a lot of repetition in Xtend Barre. Most exercises tend to go on for about 5, 10, 15 mins. Whereas in Ballet you would do 30 secs of one exercise, then break. I find that endurance in Xtend Barre matters a lot more. The class is tough, it's definitely a good workout.

UM: How is your experience with Private Reformer at Upside Motion?

T: We had never done it before. It's a good full-body workout. I think when you first see the machines for the first time, you think there will only be a few exercises you could do with it. But actually the machine is really versatile.

M: It's different for me, I didn't know what to expect. I used to play football back in Australia, so when I first went I told her not to worry, I'll be fine. Then I was really surprised with the control. I struggled big time with some very simple exercises. It was a bit of a rude awakening to some potentially some gaps in my fitness. But no, it was good, I think it's the slow-controlled movements and techniques that I'm getting benefit out of. Originally I thought, I was doing core, but after the first lesson I felt like my whole body was nice and strong. I'm really enjoying it.

UM: Do you guys keep track of your fitness trends?

M: Yeah we're now caught up with activity trackers, the little fitbits. We really got hooked in all these tech tools. I keep an eye on the crossfit or HIIT training.

UM: So you guys started using wristbands.

M: It's addictive! We both have a Polar A360.

T: I've had heart rate monitors before, when I exercised, that was like 2-3 years ago, and then I had just a fitness tracker, and it just counted my steps and calories, but this kind of combines everything in one, and I love the fact that it actually vibrates, because we both have office jobs, so it's quite easy to sit down 4 hours at  a time, but it actually buzzes and tells u it's time to move, get up and start moving. So I like that aspect of it.

UM: Great, so since it’s valentine’s day, we want to find more about you guys as a couple: here’s a couple of fun questions.

Describe each other in three words?

M: Organized, Motivated, and Fun.

T: I'd say Funny, Loyal, Driven!

UM: What inspires your partner?

M: I think it's achievement, quite driven, motivation and ticking things off and getting things done. Achievement in work, fitness, health.

T: I think we're really similar in that regard, very driven to excel, I think we're very understanding that regard. Mitch has to travel a lot for work, and I've always been supportive of that case, and then I actually left him for 18 months and then moved away for work, he was very supportive of that as well.

UM: Do you guys cook together?

M: We take turns, it depends who's in the right mood? It also depends who gets home from work first as well.

UM: The superstar ingredients and cuisines you guys go for?

M: We use carrots, celery, mixed peppers, capcicum. Chilli not so much but we're getting better. I think everything we cook generally has those base vegetables in there. I'm into a bit of Thai cooking at the moment, so different sorts of stir fry, things with coriander, all sorts of different flavours. Just trying different things.

T: We eat a lot of Mexican, which is good.

UM: What was the most exciting thing that happened last year?

Both: We moved to Singapore!
