What Beyoung Training students say
What Our Students Say
Many students start out completely ordinary — they just want to take a bit better care of their bodies and gradually become steadier. The actual flow of the first session is explained in full in What happens at your first personal training session.
The following are students' personal experiences. Everyone starts from a different place, and everyone's experience will be different.
If you have ongoing discomfort, a recent injury or restrictions from your doctor, we recommend confirming what activity is safe for you first, then discussing together how best to start.

Thank you, Beyoung Training, for helping me build strength. I'm a nurse, and rotating evening and night shifts left me exhausted, with no time or motivation to exercise. Since I started training, my life has completely changed. This way of training hasn't just made my muscles stronger — more importantly, it has improved my quality of life. Let's train together — I recommend it to anyone who enjoys working out!

I'd tried many things and none of them worked. When my husband first suggested strength training, I thought, won't that make my sore lower back worse? I was really nervous at my first session, and back then I didn't understand how I could lift 30 kg — and it felt like I could still improve. I sometimes feel a little sore after training, but it's helped me get through long-haul flights comfortably!

As I got older, I started to find walking more and more difficult, and I gradually lost the courage to go out. But since I started strength training, changes have quietly happened. My friends have all noticed — they say I walk more and more steadily. I'm very grateful for this training. It has not only built up my strength but also given me more sense of security and confidence.

Working in the high-pressure semiconductor industry, the stress of life and a busy job gradually took a toll on my body, and my energy dropped badly. Through consistent training, I not only got my energy back but also learned how to handle life better. My coach didn't just help me build healthy exercise habits — he also guided me in adjusting my lifestyle, including daily habits and adding regular exercise.

I started with the beginner class, and moving from the beginner class to the group class helped me progress more than I expected. I'd never done a group strength class like this before, but I've improved noticeably more than with any exercise I did before!
Free-Weight Group Class student, 25
This was my first group strength training class. The atmosphere is great and everyone encourages each other. I've found my energy and fitness have improved a lot, and I feel really fulfilled.
Free-Weight Group Class student, 25
Through private sessions I learned a lot about the principles and techniques of strength training. The coach takes care of the movement details, so I feel more at ease adding weight. Now in the group class, I'm experiencing new challenges and things to look forward to. Thank you, coach, for your careful guidance and for warning me in time when I added too much weight — it gives me more confidence to take on heavier weights.

Most group class students start with once a week. Why that frequency is enough is exactly what Is strength training once a week worth it? covers. To check whether your level is a good fit, see Who the Free-Weight Group Class is for.
Why we found Tzu-Hsiang: we didn't fully understand the idea of the core, but finding a good coach who could patiently guide us through the physical sticking points made all the difference. I used to think my back problem would stay with me for life; now my fitness is even better than when I was young.

Coach Wei has helped me gradually improve my bone density, and the weight I lift has gone from a tiny 4 kg at the start to 40 kg — a lot of progress. My physical condition has improved greatly and my strength has gone up a lot. Every time I come to the studio to train, I feel refreshed and full of energy. Wishing everyone good health and happiness!
One-on-One Personal Training student, 72
Coach Wei's professional guidance and patient support have helped me regain my health and energy at 74.
My daughter noticed my physical condition was gradually declining, to the point that I needed a cane to walk. Worried about my health, she found Coach Wei's personal training for me. At the start, my fitness and mobility were very limited, and every day was full of challenges. Now, after 3 months of hard training, I feel my body gradually getting stronger and my mobility has improved a lot. From barely being able to walk at first, I can now walk 4 laps of the elementary school track — a huge change for me.

Feedback from women students often mentions the teaching approach, the environment and mindset. The complete guide to strength training for women brings these concerns together.
With the coach's guidance, I've gradually regained strength and range of motion in my left arm, and I feel more confident making training a regular routine. At first strength training felt stressful, but with the coach's careful instruction I found it really suits me. It has improved my health and made life feel more energetic. Today I'm not only physically stronger, but also more confident taking on all kinds of challenges.

After training for a while, I feel steadier overall and find it easier to sleep well at night. I owe all of this to the coach's professional guidance.
One-on-One Personal Training student, 63
My coach is very patient with my progress, and both my strength and cardio fitness have improved. I can discuss training direction and goals with him, and he shares what he's been reading and studying. I find it very rewarding, and it motivates me to keep up a healthy lifestyle.

What these stories have in common isn't pushing too hard or forcing it. It's that they stopped putting their body's problems off, and started training their way back to "not being afraid," bit by bit. The same kind of change is described in more detail in What happened to the people who said "I'm really out of shape" at their first session.
The class atmosphere is relaxed and fun, and the programming is challenging. I'd hit a plateau training on my own at the gym, but following the group class progression I've started making progress again! I've also brought my sister along to learn strength training. I can feel myself improving every class, and it's made me love training even more. The coach often shares what he's learned from his Monster Training courses, and I've started listening to Dr. Li-An Ho's podcast regularly too — I've learned a lot!

My main motivation for exercising at first was wanting to look good, but I gradually realized the anxiety that came with it wasn't making me happy. To reach my ideal figure, I had to work very hard at restraining and controlling myself. After coming to Beyoung Training, I learned to understand myself better and to maintain my figure through more effective training, instead of constantly restricting and suppressing myself.
Now I have a much better understanding of what training works for me and how to keep a healthy lifestyle. It has helped me reach my ideal figure, the tightness I used to often feel in my lower back has eased a lot, and everyday movement takes less effort. As my body has improved, I've become more confident and can fully enjoy the aerial yoga and aerial hoop classes I love.

When I first asked the coach about classes, I signed up without thinking too much — I figured I'd just go for it.
More than a year later, I know I made the right choice. The coach is cool — he often takes the high-speed rail back and forth for courses, which makes me think he's seriously impressive, and I can feel his passion and professionalism. That motivates me to work harder. The coach often encourages me, and I get a lot of positive energy from it. I've gained weight and look stronger. Highly recommend!
One-on-One Personal Training student, 21
At first my cousin dragged me into signing up for personal training, and I was honestly nervous. I preferred table tennis and badminton, and felt lifting had nothing to do with me.
After a few sessions I slowly understood that training isn't just about getting more tired, it's about learning to use force more clearly. The coach breaks movements down in detail, so I know how to stand, how to push, and how to keep the tempo.
What I've noticed most during this time is that I can control my body better and know how to manage myself when I exercise. Back at table tennis training, I can make the movements I want more steadily, and I'm more willing to make exercise part of my life.

我一開始手部常覺得卡卡，Jason很願意聽我描述，他很有耐心，他會帶著我們一起找方法和問題，可能的生活習慣他也會發現。不厭其煩我想是他最好的優點，他願意聽懂我們學員的聲音，也願意嘗試不同的方法來解決，很謝謝遇到Jason這樣的教練，找對教練真的很重要！

The coach takes great care of me and has trained me well. I've regained my confidence on stairs, and my body keeps getting better. He's very dedicated and always finds suitable ways for us to train — last time when I couldn't use my hand well, he still came up with ways to train us. It really puts my mind at ease! Coach, please keep looking after us!

Tzu-Hsiang is truly remarkable. I've been in business for over 40 years, and I could tell right away that he makes the effort to understand what his students need and thinks about better ways to apply it. My body is stronger now and I can run my business with more peace of mind — I'm truly grateful to him. I hope everyone comes to train with him.

Coach Wei is great at helping me see training in a more grounded way. I used to feel I wasn't good enough and had to push harder at everything for it to count. Since starting classes, I've set my goal on "doing it more steadily and more clearly," and that has actually made it easier to keep going.
He adjusts the movements and intensity to how I'm doing, so every session builds success within a range I can control. This approach puts me at ease and makes me more willing to keep coming back regularly.
I'm very grateful for his support during this time. It hasn't just built my strength — it has also helped me keep the rhythm of my life steadier.
One-on-One Personal Training student, 30
Riding my scooter home after my first session, I could clearly feel my body was more relaxed, and standing up felt more natural.
What I like is that training isn't about forcing myself through it, but about making movements smoother and less effortful. When my body works better, many small things in life no longer need willpower to get through.
One-on-One Personal Training student, 64
The coach planned a way of training that suits me. In the past, long car rides when travelling often left me uncomfortable. After training for a while, I know better how to produce force and maintain good posture, and I can handle long journeys better. Thank you, coach.

The way we plan training for the students over 60 above is explained in more detail in How older adults can start strength training. If you're looking on behalf of a family member, What to look for in a strength coach for your parents is written from a family member's point of view.
I found Beyoung Training through Monster Training. I wanted to get stronger, but I was even more afraid of getting hurt by training the wrong way. The Free-Weight Group Class has put my mind at ease. Someone watches and adjusts my movement, and the intensity is adjusted to how I'm doing. After training, it's not that I forced myself through — I feel steadier and clearer about what I'm doing. Now I'm more willing to gradually build a solid foundation.
Free-Weight Group Class student, 21
Over six months of private sessions, I learned a lot — from breathing and the order of movements to how to protect myself when exerting force. These were things I never really paid attention to when training on my own.
Now in the Free-Weight Group Class, I understand better what each movement is for. Because private sessions gave me a foundation, I don't panic in the group class or rush to compare weights with others — I focus on keeping my own pace. I really like this arrangement. For me, training isn't about showing off; it's about slowly building my body back in a way I can keep up for the long term.

From Monster Training's systematic approach all the way to today, the goal has stayed the same: turn the method into a version you can actually do.
A letter for my students
To every Beyoung Training student
Thank you to every student who has grown alongside me. Strength training and coaching are a journey of self-cultivation, and your support and company have made this journey so much better and more meaningful. Every time I see you on the training floor pushing past your limits and reaching one goal after another, I feel incredibly proud — and it gives me endless motivation and inspiration.
On this journey, I'm not only your coach but also your partner. We face challenges and difficulties together, and we share the joy of success together. Your achievements are my achievements, and your growth is my greatest reward.
I know that strength training, like coaching, takes great effort and determination — but it's exactly this process that makes us stronger and more confident. We're not just training our bodies; we're training our minds, improving ourselves and going beyond ourselves.
Thank you to every student for your trust and support. In the days ahead, I'll keep supporting you as always, helping you keep growing and reach bigger goals in life. Let's face the challenges ahead together, build a better tomorrow together, and be the best version of ourselves every day!
