James Wong is a Certified Stott Pilates Trainer with comprehensive knowledge in Pilates methodology, exercises and equipment on Injury and Special Population, Scoliosis Management, Back care management & Prenatal and Postnatal. James has adopted the understanding and learning of Pilates for more than 10 years during his tertiary education in Melbourne; even before Pilates was introduced in Malaysia. In his growing up years back in New Zealand, he has already started to develop the interest in dance and movements, which he incorporates into the grace of his Pilates movements. James teaches both Pilates group classes at fitness centers and also private sessions as well. 

Pilates is still very infant in the Malaysian market; but the numbers of certified pilates teachers are growing in these recent years; however not as many as the outgrowned Yoga society. Over the years, James has worked closely with Chiropractors and Physiotherapist on specific case studies, which he profoundly finds interest in Scoliosis Management which he, reckons many Malaysians are lacking in knowledge. Back in New Zealand, & Australia, students in schools were provided postural analysis in school to detect scoliosis symptoms at an early stage.

He has been providing 1-day anatomical researches and education learning workshops to adults and parents of growing up children on Scoliosis Management where he explains the severity of how scoliosis can lead to the child’s growing up years. James’ continues to learn and grow himself in this field of studies where he attends yearly workshops from accredited recognized Pilates schools.

James is also a Certified AIM I (Advance Instructor) for both Les Mills program – Body Balance & Body Pump & Certified in Les Mills CXWorks (Core strength training) as well.

He is also a 200 hours US Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher where he continues to upgrade his yoga practices with renowned teachers such Noah Maze, Christina Sell, Tiffany Crushank, Kathryn Budig, Kino McGregor. In recent years he has also developed skills in Zen Thai Massage learning from great teachers such as Saul David Ryle and Gwen Williams.
