As someone who has been training for the last 16 years and dedicating the last 3-4 years of his medical education to the study of training and the muscles, bones and joints of the human body, I have often found difficulty in communicating complex nutritional and training concepts to my friends / patients who are just starting out. That is where NK and his ANTS L1 course excels. Without delving too deep into theory, it gives very practical and applicable advice that naturally leads people to a health-promoting diet and training lifestyle while cutting through many common misconceptions floating around in the fitness space. I found his "protein weightage" concept particularly useful and possibly something that could even go onto nutritional labels in the future. Definitely a solid recommendation for anyone looking to better self manage his/her own diet and exercise regimen.

ANTS L1 taught me the foundational principles of nutrition and resistance training, not just the how, but also why these fundamental concepts work. ANTS L1 gave me concrete, executable recommendations that were realistic to execute in daily life. I believe ANTS L1 and NK does a great job in cutting through all of the misinformation and fear mongering that is common nowadays throughout fitness. The problem with fitness has always been the glut of overwhelming information that is often times contradictory, and NK has to simplify things with his straightforward and no-nonsense approach. Prepare to have your myths busted! It’s the best primer for changing your lifestyle, which is also adapted to our local Singaporean environment.

I have often struggled with nutrition and had trouble navigating the mass of information (and misinformation) on the internet. ANTS L1 has been illuminating in this respect, outlining nutrition simply yet accurately for a beginner like me. Thanks to the advice from ANTS L1 and from dinokang's Instagram page, I was able to take practical steps to eating cleaner in an enjoyable and sustainable way. Over the last year, I lost some belly fat that I'd gained over years' of poor nutritional choices, now I can even see my abs again. ANTS L1 played a big role in this. The course fees were well worth my investment. Instead of spending money on nutritional supplements or dieting products, I would recommend anyone interested to invest, learn, and equip yourself to navigate the world of food and nutrition.

The ANTS L1 course is full of useful knowledge that is highly applicable to daily life. Anyone, regardless of training age & lifestyle, stands to benefit from listening in to NK’s guidance and tips. As a beginner, I had many of my fitness misconceptions clarified in this crash course alone and there is definitely something to either learn or be reminded of! Don’t miss out on NK’s run-through of the fundamentals of nutrition & training 💪🏼

ANTS L1 gave me the foundation I needed to make some really big changes in my life. I really appreciated the information shared in a local context, delivered in a straightforward, no-bullshit way. It also gave me a first look into the world of strength training, which had always seemed really inaccessible and scary to me. The mythbusting and the amount of time NK spent answering everyone's questions (and I mean everyone's questions) also shows how much patience he has for beginners and people new to fitness. Eventually, I took the leap to sign up for personal training with him and haven't looked back since - I'm down 11kg (starting as a 63kg woman) after 4 months and have never felt stronger and better about myself. Thanks NK 🙂

After following Dino on Instagram for a few months, I realised my impression of living a healthy life was completely off beam. As a newbie to nutrition & training at 33 years, the only sensible thing to do was to sign up for ANTS L1. This is by far THE BEST investment I have ever made in my life (2nd is PT with the man himself and that’s a story for another day!). ANTS L1 helped me make better decisions on every morsel of food I decide to put into my mouth, without making me feel like I’m not enjoying life or missing out. Since attending the course, I have read the nutrition label of every item I’ve purchased and realised just how most people are easily fooled by labels and false advertising. Dino debunks many misconceptions and explains in detail in an easy to digest manner. I feel this course needs to be attended anyone and everyone especially PE teachers in schools, enabling them to educate the future generations on the right way of leading a long and healthy life.
