#012 Alex Chung & Lee "TO EMPOWER AND RECOGNIZE with Founders of Stryde, an innovative fitness app."

ALEX CHUNG  & LEON LEE - Founders of Stryde, an innovative fitness app that uses in-game currency to motivate people to get moving.  Stryde co-founders Leon Lee and Alex Chung have created an innovative fitness app that uses in-game currency to motivate people to get moving. Here’s how they did it. Leon Lee and Alex Chung bonded over a mutual love for health and fitness that eventually led them to create Stryde in 2017 – an innovative goal-betting mobile app for fitness enthusiasts. As the first of its kind, the app is a modern reinvention of peer-to-peer accountability in a game-like simulation. It works by having the user’s fitness goals publicly logged and then betted on by others through Stryde’s own in-app currency. Hard-earned points can then be accumulated and exchanged for real-life goodies like CircleDNA, MuscleXP Vitamins, and Nike sport shirts, providing a strong incentive on both ends to stay motivated in achieving their fitness goals. As respective biotechnology and marketing graduates, Leon and Alex’s startup journey within the notoriously difficult tech space was not without its hurdles. They’ve come together to share their personal journey – and how they succeeded in spite of the challenges they faced. ______________________________ LEON LEE https://www.instagram.com/leoninhk/ As the head of UX, product development, and administration, Leon leads the team with tasks such as product development iteration processes and usability tests. He was also the head of product of an HK Science Park incubated mobile app startup previously, he has had the experience of overseeing UX engineers, developers, and UI designers throughout the mobile app development process. He graduated from Imperial College London with a degree in Biotechnology and Management. ALEX CHUNG  https://www.instagram.com/achung6/ As the head of marketing, branding, and business development, Alex works closely with the STRYDE Athletes and partnered brands and companies. As a certified personal trainer, Alex also leverages his network of fitness professionals to help validate the goal-setting and verification processes of the platform. Alex has worked in marketing and PR for a number of years and it is during this time that he developed close relationships with editors and influencers. Some of the brands Alex has worked with include The Edrington Group, Ports 1961, Roger Dubuis, and more. ______________________________ https://www.stryde-app.com/app-features https://www.facebook.com/StrydeApp-200987174178320/ https://www.instagram.com/stryde.app/ https://twitter.com/StrydeApp

006 - DAVID WOOD - We seek to live up to our name

David Wood spent his teen years in Knoxville, TN, and enlisted for active duty in the Marine Corps from 1999 – 2003, attaining infantry Sergeant in his first two years, and serving with SRIG (Surveillance / Reconnaissance / Intelligence Group). David was deployed four times: Panama, two Marine Expeditionary Unit floats and, following 9/11, Operation Enduring Freedom as part of the first wave of troops in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

After being honorably discharged from the Marine Corps, David entered the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, where he studied philosophy and religious studies, graduating with his BA. In 2009, David moved to Hong Kong, where he did liaison work for three NGOs, founded several companies that he owns and runs under the banner of DJW Holdings, and still lives with his wife and children.

David's passion and expertise in designing and sourcing tactical clothing, gear and camo, came out of his military service. David has wanted to utilize a tactical camo pattern, breaking away from the traditional twigs and trees and focusing instead on a 3D graphic camo specifically designed to protect the urban warrior. He has learned the fabrics/design/printing/ process working intensively and intentionally with the fabric mills, printing mills and design teams.

David is also an extreme athlete and enjoys canyoning, rock-climbing, mountaineering, and Endurance Races, which led him also to design a line of athletic clothing and gear for extreme athletes. This line has been tested and is constantly being modified to suit the needs of the various extreme athletes.

#005 MASON TSE - Self Made Athlete

 Mason TSE own Introduction: 

I am a Chinese-born Canadian from Toronto, Canada. During my middle school days, I did a lot of different sports to stay active, including track and field, soccer, basketball, volleyball and mountain biking. Even though I kept myself active, I was genetically the smallest and skinniest guy on the field. It wasn’t until university where I was introduced to hitting the weights at a local gym. I didn’t have the slightest clue about good form, and how crucial it is to maximize my training and stimulate muscle growth. Trying out different movements and machines hoping I wouldn’t injure myself. 

Over the last five years, I’ve come a long way from when I first started. I have tried and tested many different types of fitness environments. I went from working out at home, to trying out different gyms across Hong Kong, to working out with inspiring fitness gurus. Now, I spend a lot of time learning about new fitness routines, best practices and then translate that knowledge into helping myself and others realize their fitness goals. I’ve fallen in love with working out, fitness and nutrition in general. My passion for fitness grows as I learn new tips and tricks to reach certain fitness goals.  I simply want to share my knowledge that I’ve learnt from my own experiences to inspire someone who wants to start leading a healthier lifestyle. Maybe motivate someone who wants to break out of their training comfort zone and try something new.

#004 Ramona Pascual - Embrace Failure To Learn Things That Success Won't Teach

#004 Ramona Pascual - Embrace Failure To Learn Things That Success Won't Teach

 POWERHOUSE 004: Hong Kong MMA fighter Ramona Pascual

Every one of us experiences a failure, a small one, and big ones. What makes us stronger is how we handle this kind of obstacles. Today I got a chance to sit down and talk with the champion, fighter and overall badass woman Ramona Pascual: Ramona is an MMA fighter out of Hong Kong. Born in a Chinese family from the Philippines, Ramona spent most of her years growing up in Hong Kong.  

She started learning Muay Thai just for fun at fifteen and hasn’t stopped martial arts ever since. Ramona has racked up an impressive record of 5-1 in professional Muay Thai and claimed double gold at the 2015 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship. 

Ramona is also known for her time spent on the Hong Kong National Rugby team, but due to previous injuries, she had to stop in 2012. 

After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from USC and spending her early career working various desk jobs, Ramona found her calling in MMA and decided to pursue her passion in fitness. 

An unfortunate knee injury accrued during training in early 2018 lead to Ramona having to pull out of the ROAD Fighting Championship in Korea — but after months of recovery she’s back and better than ever. Mark your calendars to see this tough cookie kick some butt.
