Marketing Manager

Kimberly Yeo

"Hi, I'm Kim! I'm here to get our favourite All-Women's gym in Penang out there in the world so more women can get stronger and empowered to be the awesome world-changers they are. I do not have any fitness-related certifications, but I can certify that fitness is a necessity!

My hobbies (climbing & skateboarding) are quite injury-prone. As an artist by trade, I also developed chronic back and wrist pains. When I first began a daily workout habit (having a personal trainer keep me accountable made the whole process easier and more effective), I noticed my mental health improve, my skin cleared up, and my back and wrists no longer tormented me as much as before! Yay!

​

My goal is that more women can come to discover and develop the strength and resiliency they need to live fulfilling lives and be the powerful women that they are. Let's make more Charis Athletes! 🥳

Customer Relations Manager

Irene Khoo

"As an ISFJ, I’m just not an outspoken person, but I thrive on challenges and pushing beyond my comfort zone. Your first impression may label me as cold and serious, but peel off the layer of my introvert exterior, and you’ll discover a warm heart and a chatty personality inside. Join me on this journey of self-discovery & growth. 🐣
