Fan-atic Tribute: Peter Chang

This is a tribute by gym member yhsmom to one of the most amazing instructors in FF

I would like to pay tribute to the Peter in FF's Peter Jackson, Peter Chang! I have known him for 4 years and it's been great to see how he has blossomed from the time I first knew him as a new instructor to the Legend that he is now!

Peter chose to abandon a boring 9 to 5 white collar job to pursue his passion in fitness fulltime 3 years ago. Trained in 6 Les Mills programs, he is currently teaching Body Step, Body Pump, Body Jam and Body Attack. However, being a gentle, peace loving individual, Body Combat is completely out of the question as far as he is concerned. Peter is also well known for his freestyle Step and Hi Lo classes which are notoriously challenging and definitely not for novices.

Besides Peter's trademark cheerfulness and enthusiasm that is shown in all the classes that he conducts, as Shades has mentioned in a previous post, this guy is really something else! He is a living phenomenon. In fact I sometimes wonder whether he is part Superhero. His stamina is incredible and he puts instructors half his age to shame.



Peter holds the record for teaching the most number of classes a month in FF and definitely deserves a mention in the Malaysian Book of Records!

Tall and lanky with a pair of Supermodel legs, affable Peter is much loved wherever he teaches. His fan club of adoring members stretches from Subang to Cheras! He is very touched by the tokens of appreciation that they show him, normally in the form of food!


In the FF family, Peter is generally regarded as the "Gor Gor" (elder brother). He can always be relied on for sound advice and is most supportive of new instructors.

An interesting fact about Peter is he has only driven once after passing his driving test! He goes everywhere by public transport, occasionally on foot or by hitching rides from benevolent friends! Proof of his dedication to his craft is that despite the hardship he has to endure to get to his destination, he is almost always on time!

Again, to quote Shades where can you find Peter Chang?



Exclusively in Fitness First, of course!
