Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen is my name and I'm a Vietnamese American Entrepreneur living in Orange County California. My incredible fiance JP as well as my happiest Dad Henry are also part of our extended family. A majority of my followers know me through my Instagram @annephung, where I document my life - highs, lows, and everything in between. The year 1990 was the time I emigrated to America together with my brother and parents at the age of one and half. Without my parents' love of hard work and sacrifice, I probably wouldn't even be here sharing my journey. My parents were the source of my inspiration and I worked to be successful. I believed my future would unfold one way or another: I'd graduate from college, land an employment opportunity in the corporate world, then marry and begin a family. The life I had imagined for myself wasn't what it turned into. The year 2013 brought me to the realization that the job I was in didn't feel like a good fit for me. While the pay and the status was great, I didn't feel like the work was satisfying. It was more like I was wasting my time. In 2013, I realized that my passion was fitness. I also liked having fun and being able to help other people. As I moved towards this new direction in life, I discovered the personal training I needed. The business I started was in 2014 and I'll be celebrating seven years of growth in the year 2021. It's not common to see an Asian woman in this business. In order to be an innovator in my industry and to offer quality coaching, to enable others to achieve better health and happiness by establishing a life that is tailored to suit their requirements and to reach their objectives. In addition, I wish for everyone to be able to achieve their goals and accomplish whatever they want throughout their lives. In the beginning of my career, the death of my mother was the greatest blow to my life. She fought a long and arduous battle with Scleroderma and is resting in Heaven as well as with me in my thoughts and heart at all times. We can learn a lot from life, even though it may be difficult to recognize it right now. My mom's death changed my life in so many ways. I truly believe that my Mom gave me another chance at life through her passing. Her passing in the year of Tet/Lunar New Year Day was the chance to create with a fresh start. It was a second chance for me to live a full and happy life. As I enter my 30's, I feel more alive than ever. I am able to say that I am living my life now, rather than just existing just like I did in the past. The purpose of sharing my experience is to inform you that, you are not alone. I hope that you be aware that love exists and that a therapy session can be normal. Your health is truly your greatest asset. I hope that you enjoy the life you want to live and to die with no regrets as death is the only possibility that awaits all of us during our lives.
