Mark Choo founder of Tribe Boxing Studio.
Health and Fitness has always been a part of Mark Choo’s life. Coming from humble beginnings, this entrepreneur opted early on to forge his own path by choosing to specialise in business as an undergraduate. When the time came to develop his own brand, Mark was adamant on putting into practice his belief of what makes a company successful: Carefully listening to and understanding what the customers really want.
From developing a health tech start-up that focused on telemedicine in 2015, before moving on to boutique gyms throughout 2017, Mark further stamped his mark in the health and fitness industry through the development of a parallel business focusing on nutrition in 2020, by launching his Shake Smoothie Bar. Mark has always been in the business of providing a healthier and more positive lifestyle to those around him, ably identifying the gaps in the market in order to address the very heart of his customers’ needs.

If you’re looking to start a business, this businessman believes that the key is to talk to as many people as you can and do your part to research. A company must value customer-centricity and give the best customer experience especially in this increasingly-saturated fitness industry.

People need to validate that their new ideas to ensure that there is a demand of their potential business. Secondly, sharing your ideas to those around you keeps you accountable.
