Hey everyone, my name is Haseef and I’m one of the AEPs (Accredited Exercise Physiologists) here at Absolute Balance.
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Sports Science, Exercise & Health before furthering my studies in Clinical Exercise Physiology. Throughout my course, I managed to undergo placements covering a variety of domains, and I was fortunate enough to meet individuals from all walks of life and help them with their respective conditions.
Originally from Singapore, I grew up in a family with 7 siblings where all of us would play and compete with one another. Competition was fierce growing up and there were bound to be injuries at some stage. Due to previous injuries, I gained a better understanding of how a personalized strength and conditioning program is key to keeping up with your fitness goals as well as reducing your chances of getting injured. Throughout my years as a sportsman, I have been lucky enough to have people look after me in times of injury and rehabilitation, so I believe it is my duty to pay it forward for all the support I have been given.
Currently I play hockey for a local club, and I try to incorporate the knowledge I have learnt towards developing my game as well as helping those around me. I am a firm believer of “use it or lose it” so I try to keep moving doing absolutely anything. During my free time, I enjoy baking and catching up with friends and family over a delicious meal. If you’re lucky, you might even get the chance to try the famous cinnamon scrolls that everyone keeps raving about. I heard it’s pretty good and made by yours truly!
