Edwin Chun-Yip Chin, PhD, CSEP-CEP, CSEP-CPT, ACSM-EP, CSCS
I have 10+ years of coaching experience in various settings, including clinical populations, sports performance, and occupational fitness readiness. I don’t just coach; I live the science. As an athlete living with Beta Thalassemia, I learned early on that my body doesn’t play by the standard rules. For years, I struggled to improve my VO2max using traditional methods. This challenge forced me to look deeper into the research, I had to work smarter and shifting my focus toward optimizing running economy, metabolic efficiency, and biomechanical precision to bridge the gap that biology left behind.
This journey taught me a fundamental truth: everyone is different, and there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ training program.
I established www.exerciseconsultation.com to provide expert consultation for anyone around the world who feels stuck or doesn’t know where to start. Whether you want to lose weight, regain fitness after cancer treatment, prepare for a fitness test (e.g., police, military, paramedic), or improve your physical capacity for highly demanding jobs, I am here to help you!
