Is there a song that motivates you?
Clarissa: Yes, it's called "Try Everything" by Shakira. It's from the movie 'Zootopia'.
What is the proudest accomplishment in your life?
Clarissa: My proudest accomplishment was when I finally became an official fitness instructor. So I got all my certifications and then officially went on the podium and became a spin instructor.
Was that something that has always been a part of your plans?
Clarissa: It wasn't always a part of my plan, it was quite impromptu. I thought my life would be quite mapped out - you know like a typical Singaporean - study, get a full time job, work, get married and have kids, but this fitness journey just came in quite unexpectedly and I fell in love with it.
What kind of people do you get your energy from, and where do you find those people?
Clarissa: I get my energy from people I can connect well with. So people I meet that are able to talk well, or share the same bandwith, make jokes together. That's where I get my energy from.
What's one word to describe your 2023, and why?
Clarissa: New-experiences. Because I made a lot of career life changes, it was the year I decided I was going to leave my full time job, and pursue fitness full time.
At what time in your life did you have your biggest breakthrough?
Clarissa: My biggest breakthrough was when I was 14 years-old, I was bullied in school. From then that I decided to work a little harder, to not care about what people think and just work on my personal goals and get better and acheive what I wanted to.
In the next 3 years how do you want to grow, and what do you want to learn?
Clarissa: In the next 3 years, I would like to get better in terms of my physical aspects, to try out new things, and I would like to make new connections.
