Athlete: John Cheah

John is a trained actor, dancer and physical theatre practitioner who has performed to audiences in Singapore, South Africa, Cambodia, India, South Korea and most recently Prague, where he was part of an ensemble that won three first-place awards at the 17th New Prague Dance Festival. The former basketball player started dabbling in CrossFit training methods to supplement his theatre practice in 2012 and then dived fully into CrossFit in October 2013 where he placed 17th at the 2013 Sin City Invitational. In 2014, he was the 1st Runner-up in the 85kg novice category at the Singapore National Open Weightlifting Championships and also tied for 3rd place at the Reebok Manila Throwdown. With #10WksL8r, John is hoping to make gains in explosiveness, strength and work capacity that will translate to his practice in CrossFit and Physical Theatre.
