My early 20’s was the time I put on a pair of boxing gloves in New York with the mindset that it was going to be a great cardio workout. After a few sessions, I began to realize it was more than just a workout, it became my hobby and passion. I started training at NYC’s well known Church Street Boxing Gym.
After living in Hong Kong for 3 years, in 2015 while working in the F&B industry, I decided to put myself forward to participate in the White Collar Boxing event held in Hong Kong where I won my fight. This was a huge achievement being my first fight and with that, grew my drive and motivation to be a badass boxer.
Fast forward to 2020, my full time position in the F&B industry took a hard hit due to the unrest in Hong Kong and following that, the pandemic. I decided this was a good opportunity to take a break from the restaurant business, level up and turn my passion for boxing into a career.
After 10+ years of boxing and training; with the help of my amazing trainer, mentor and now friend, I became a boxing trainer myself. Being able to teach people boxing and fitness has been a rewarding experience and I strive to grow and learn more in this industry.
SUCCESS STORIES
"I really enjoy my sessions with Vanessa. I had found her randomly through Facebook group feeds. It was actually her name “Badass Shum” that caught my interest at first. During the first year of COVID I had barely worked out and by January 2021 I was keen to move my body again. It’s been great training with Vanessa. She’s super attentive to my past injuries, current limitations and has always offered creative alternatives so that I always feel challenged during our workouts. She’s always on time and communicative. Another bonus is that she’s super hygienic! As someone who’s quite the clean freak, I really appreciate the extra mile she goes with sanitation! What you’ll get from Vanessa are fun yet challenging workouts with clean and safe practices in place!"
