At 17, after a knee injury I was told surgery or lifelong medication were my only options. I tried it all—meds, injections, supplements, knee guards—but nothing worked until I found aquabiking. Regular aquatic workouts not only kept my pain at bay, they gave me back my strength, confidence, and freedom. That revelation inspired me to bring aquafitness to Singapore, and in 2012, Yannick and I founded The Ripple Club. My passion is motivating others to believe in the power of their bodies and proving that no matter the hurdle, you can always achieve your full potential!
Yannick Dedigama
Co-Founder
After a near-fatal accident that left me in a coma, I woke up having to start from scratch. For someone who had always been sporty, even walking around the block felt like a mountain. I know what it’s like to feel your body has failed you—but I also know there’s always a way back to your best self. That’s why I’m passionate about helping others build strength, confidence, and resilience through aquatic fitness. My mission is to grow The Ripple Club so more people can experience this life-changing journey. Join us in the water!
Casee Arhens
Head of Training & Development
Movement is my medicine. With my naturally high energy, fitness gives me the focus, clarity, and joy I need to show up fully every day. What began as a personal outlet has completely transformed my confidence and sense of purpose—so much so that I changed my career to empower others through movement. Fitness is where I feel most alive, and I love helping others find that feeling too.
My goal? That you leave every class feeling strong, uplifted, and connected. After 20 years of teaching, I know that the magic isn’t just in the workout—it’s in the community.

‘Fitness is Longevity’ is my mantra! Formerly in the Singapore military, I started teaching Lesmills programs and became a National Presenter here in Singapore. I then discovered The Ripple Club and loved it so much I decided to spread the wellness word about aqua workouts – I challenge you to be inspired by its benefits too!

After a meniscus tear left me unable to run or jump for 18 months, I felt frustrated and stuck. Then I discovered aqua spinning at The Ripple Club—and within two months, I was back to running, jumping, and even burpees! Fitness has given me strength, energy, and the freedom to enjoy life fully—whether teaching classes or exploring on holiday. What I love most is sharing that joy and positivity with others. My goal is for every client to leave class feeling welcomed, empowered, and reminded that fitness can be fun, rejuvenating, and full of good vibes.

Perimenopause, Hashimoto’s, joint pain—I’ve been through it all. At one point, even getting off the couch felt like a mission. But movement changed everything. I learned to work with my body, not against it, and I found healing, strength, and joy in the water. Aqua fitness gave me my confidence back—no pain, no pressure, just freedom and endorphins! Now, I teach with one mission: to help you feel strong, uplifted, and proud of what your body can do. Expect sweat, smiles, and a whole lot of good vibes—because fitness should feel like a celebration, not a chore.

As someone who’s faced judgment for my body and identity, I know how hard it can be to feel like you belong in fitness spaces. That’s why I teach—to help rewrite that narrative. Fitness gave me strength inside and out, and at The Ripple Club, I found a place that truly celebrates every body. I want my classes to feel like a safe, uplifting space where you’re free to move, grow, and just be you. If you leave my class smiling, feeling stronger and more confident—you’ve just made my day!

Movement changed my life—more than once. After a knee injury and years of postpartum inertia, I felt weak, winded, and far from my best. But rediscovering movement through dance, strength training, and eventually aqua fitness helped me feel strong, stable, and 20 years younger! I’m not here to chase six-packs—I’m here to help you feel good in your body, move with confidence, and surprise yourself with what you can do. In my classes, we enjoy the music, celebrate small wins, and leave feeling accomplished. I hope you’ll walk out wanting more—and knowing that you belong here.

I never thought I belonged in the fitness world. I wasn’t the “typical” fit person growing up—I was more of an outsider. But discovering movement changed my life. It gave me confidence, energy, and a whole new sense of self-worth. What I love most? That endorphin boost after a good session—and the smiles that follow. At The Ripple Club, I’ve found a place that’s real, inclusive, and joyful. My goal is simple: you leave class proud of what your body can do and surrounded by good vibes. Let’s move, laugh, and feel strong—together.

I discovered fitness seven years ago, and it completely changed my life. What started as a hobby quickly became my passion and calling—there’s been no looking back since! I believe in courage, determination, and the power of perseverance, especially when the journey feels tough. As an indoor cycling, HIIT, and circuit instructor, as well as a Ripple P.R.O., I’m here to help you chase your fitness dreams and have fun doing it. I can’t wait to see you by the pool and share the energy with you!

Ripple P.R.O
I’ve struggled with being overweight since my teens, and mobility was always my biggest challenge. When I first started exercising, I doubted myself constantly. But little by little, fitness showed me what my body could do—not just what it couldn’t. Reaching my goals later in life has boosted my confidence, transformed my mindset, and reminded me that it’s never too late to take charge of your health. In my classes, I want you to feel energized, proud, and supported. Most of all, I hope you leave knowing—you can do this, and you’re not alone.
Noah Yap
Ripple P.R.O
Fitness is more than a workout—it’s a mindset. With life often feeling unpredictable, I found power in the one thing he could control: movement. Fitness gave me the tools to build discipline, confidence, and resilience from the inside out. At The Ripple Club, I bring this same philosophy to every class—helping you feel empowered, capable, and fulfilled. My sessions are designed to challenge your body, uplift your spirit, and remind you that wellness is a lifelong journey. Expect cardio, strength, and a whole lot of fun along the way.
Andrea Brankin
Ripple P.R.O
Over the past 13 years, I’ve rebuilt my health, body, and lifestyle through fitness and the support of community. From injuries and postpartum recovery to perimenopause and mental health challenges, movement has been my anchor. Fitness not only gave me strength but also restored my confidence and self-worth—it reminded me to love myself at every stage. What I love most is the energy, peace, and empowerment it brings. In my classes, I want you to feel energised, proud, and supported. You’ll always have a space, a place, and a community that lifts you up.
Esther Lim
Ripple P.R.O
For me, fitness is meant to be fun! I used to put off running because it felt like a chore, but discovering group exercise in the water changed everything. Now, fitness is part of my life—not for how I look, but for how I feel. Having the stamina to catch a bus or take on multi-day hikes (like trekking to Machu Picchu!) has boosted my confidence and joy. In my classes, I want you to leave feeling better than when you came in—proud, energized, and one step closer to your fittest self.
