Aries Ong

Diagnosed with thalassemia, a hereditary blood disorder, Aries had always been weak and easily fatigued. Combined with a sedentary lifestyle and an affinity for food, he realised that he was seriously unhealthy when his waistline hit 40 inches. After joining his first group-exercise class, Aries got inspired by the instructor, motivated by the music and hooked on the physical high. Commitment to an active lifestyle, transformed his life. Aries is a User Experience expert by day, who aims to make this world more accessible, one website at a time. (Aries is still working on his affinity for food!)
