Ridwan first discovered POUND through a local POUND community in Balikpapan. After attending a class as a POUND Posse member in July 2023, it quickly became clear that the experience was something special — it felt like love at first sight…or first strike. From that moment on, Ridwan continued showing up, building connections, and deepening a passion for the format.
On December 17, 2023, Ridwan officially became a POUND Pro, marking an important milestone in a journey that continued to unfold in January 2024. For Ridwan, POUND is far more than a fitness program; it is a space for growth, learning, new experiences, and the sharing of positive energy.
Through POUND, Ridwan found a powerful outlet for self-expression. With a commitment to growth, Ridwan expanded knowledge and skills by completing multiple trainings, including LEVEL Up, POUND Unplugged, and Generation POUND.
Exactly one year into the journey as a POUND Pro, Ridwan was honored with the opportunity to serve as a POUND Tour Crew Brand Ambassador for 2025. This achievement stands as a proud moment — one that continues to inspire Ridwan to keep learning, evolving, and uplifting others through movement and community.
Today, Ridwan actively teaches regular classes in studios and throughout the Balikpapan community, in addition to leading special events.
Beyond the studio, Ridwan shares passion and inspiration through social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, helping spread the energy of POUND to an even wider audience.
At the beginning of the year, Ridwan took part in a special class and Sport Festival hosted by the Setujuh Project in Makassar. Shortly after, the community came together to celebrate their 3rd Anniversary with POUND — a meaningful milestone highlighting the strength and connection within the community.
Ridwan’s journey is rooted in purpose and passion, guided by a simple reminder:
“Always remember why you started on your journey and you will never forget the importance of finishing strong.” — June Archer
