The Truth About Female Fitness, Balance & Self-Worth: The Hourglass Figure With Thien Wong

Send us a text

Today, I sit down with Thien Wong, an international fitness coach based in Malaysia, who’s helping women across the globe break free from fitness confusion and reclaim their health with purpose. Ms. Wong shares her deeply personal story of being bullied for being too skinny, facing emotional trauma, and navigating body image issues that led her into the world of health and weightlifting. Her transformation journey—from insecurity to strength—sets the stage for a powerful episode about mindset, patience, and redefining fitness goals.

We explore her signature philosophy: the hourglass mindset. Ms. Wong explains how the hourglass isn’t just a body shape, but a symbol of time, patience, and self-love. She breaks down her powerful “LOVE” framework—Listen, Optimize, Value, Excel—and how it guides the women she coaches to achieve real, lasting results. We talk about the importance of balancing workouts, the danger of excessive training, and why tracking numbers without context can sabotage your mental health.

I also share my own fitness missteps, including why I used to skip leg day, the hesitation behind starting training, and how weighing yourself daily can do more harm than good.
