Before starting training with Moustafa, I was struggling with excess weight, high cholesterol, fatty liver, elevated blood sugar (7.5 mmol/L), persistent neck and back pain, and low energy levels. My diabetes was poorly controlled, and my doctor was considering increasing my medication dosage. In just two months, I lost 10kg, reduced my blood sugar to 5.3 mmol/L, improved my cholesterol and fatty liver condition, eliminated my neck and back pain. As a result, my doctor now considers my condition low risk and has reduced the frequency of my medical follow-up appointments. What made the biggest difference was Moustafa's patient, personalized, and results-driven approach. I was initially skeptical that exercise and lifestyle changes alone could address my health issues, but he developed a practical workout and diet plan that was easy to follow, sustainable, and highly effective. The results have exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness.

Main Problem: I had my hip injured 4 years back during one of my hikes to Gunung Nuang. Not understanding the severity of the injury, i continued my marathons, and other outdoor sports without proper time to heal. My injury worsened when i couldnt drive for more then an hour or jog more then 1 km without having knee pain. My pain began to spread from my hip, to my glutes and to my lower back. After going for MRI, it was found my L4 and L5 has shifted a little outside and touching my nerves and i was advised to stop all my sports and to undergo physiotherapy session. Went to multiple physio rehab centres and was classified as chronic injury by the physiotherapist. Healing was too slow and does not seem to have any effect due to my chronic condition. Was very demotivated to an extend it took a toll on my mental and physical health. I have consulted spine ortho specialist as well multiple rehab centres without any solutions. There are days i couldnt sleep due to my hip ache which comes at night. At times i would just pray to The Lord to just show me a path to heal my condition. Solution: 1 year ago, while i was doing my home physio in my apartment gym i met Mustafa who also happened to stay at the same block. He approached me and advised me on a few exercises that may show better results. I was skeptical as first as I have already consulted multiple ortho specialists and even one of the best rehabs in Malaysia. But i was also at a stage of i got nothing more to lose even if did try his methods. Hence i tried. My healing process was faster then the rehabs i have visited. Having full faith in Mustafa, i decided to trust his methods and follow his guidance. 4 months with him, 90% of my 4 years of agonizing pain has healed and not only am i regaining my stamina but my muscle strength has exponentially increased. I am able to go for long drives more then 6 hours without any back pain. I am also able to slowly increase my jogging distance without any knee or back pain. It has been some time since i had my leg aches in the middle of nights. He has not only thought me how to overcome my problems, but to handle them with utmost patience with the right technic. His golden advice ''It is not how much you can lift, but how perfect your form is''. Over time i begin to realize he is the answer to my prayers and i am grateful to have met him. Overall Experience: He is calm and patience explaining each exercises and what it does for my healing. His in depth knowledge about sports injury and rehabilitation is commendable and it is always shown in results. His dedication and caring nature makes me motivated to push myself to be consistent and to stick to his regime and method. Now i am on my way to get back on my Brooks and hit it on my marathons. 1 year ago i was told it is not possible by my specialist, but this guy proved it possible. Overall he knows his stuff and most importantly... A GOOD MAN!
I was diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis early this year. Receiving the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis hit me hard, especially since I'm so passionate about hiking and jogging. Initially, I felt a whirlwind of emotions, frustration and disappointment. These activities aren't just hobbies; they're my lifeline to adventure and freedom. Knowing that I might have to scale back or even give up these activities made me sad. I couldn't help but worry about how this diagnosis would change my lifestyle and what it meant for my overall well-being. Upon my doctor's advice to engage a personal trainer for managing my knee osteoarthritis, I took proactive steps by registering on StarOfService. To my relief, within a few days, Moustafa reached out, a timely intervention that filled me with gratitude.

Additionally, he patiently demonstrates how to use gym equipment safely and effectively. What sets him apart is his commitment to ensuring I perform each exercise correctly, he provides clear cues and feedback to help me maintain proper form and prevent injury. Thanks to Moustafa's comprehensive guidance, I feel confident in my workouts and motivated to continue my journey towards improved health and mobility. Thanks to Moustafa's guidance, I've achieved significant milestones in my fitness journey.

What brings people to me
Does this sound familiar?
It always comes back.
Relief lasts a week or two, then you're booking the next appointment. Again.
Sitting is the enemy.
A long meeting, a 2 hour drive, an hour at the laptop, and your back makes you pay for it.
You've quietly given up.
The hike, the run, playing with your kids, because you know tomorrow will hurt.
Surgery got mentioned.
You're not ready to accept that. You want to try every other option first.
Painkillers run your day.
You plan around them now. That's not the person you used to be.
You're not old.
But your body acts like the decline already started, and a part of you wonders where it ends.
Don't worry, this can be worked on. Properly.
- 01
First, I find where your body lost the ability to carry load, the weak places where it broke down.
- 02
Then I progressively rebuild strength there, safely, step by step, at a pace your body can handle. Never pushed before it's ready.
- 03
As the structure gets strong enough for your daily life again, most clients need far less management. The aim is to graduate, not to keep coming back.
Here's the difference that changes everything
- You lie still. They work on you.
- The pain is relieved, for a while.
- You come back every month.
- You're active. We rebuild you.
- The structure is strengthened, for the long term.
- You work toward finishing, not toward the next visit.
"His training provides a better solution to physical problems and is much superior to physiotherapy."
Your first step: a 60 minute Strength-Rehab assessment
One session, in person or online. You leave knowing what is limiting your body and what a realistic rebuild would look like for you.
A full conversation about your history, scans and what you have already tried.
We test how your body carries load and find the weak links behind the pain.
The first exercises, what to avoid for now, and how progress will be measured.
How many sessions your case is likely to need, and the exact fee before you commit.
The assessment is a paid session and is credited toward your program if you continue. Send a message and you will get the current fee and the next available times, with no obligation.
Real people. Real pain. Rebuilt.

Mula-mula agak skeptikal sebab dah cuba macam-macam cara untuk recover dari slip disc. Dari 2012 lagi kena slip disc. Lepas tu fikir, tak salah mencuba dan berikhtiar, kemudian mula training dengan mustafa, dia ajar perkara yang tidak dapat belajar dari youtube. Memang ada perkara yang kita tak dapat belajar dari youtube, dan mustafa adalah seorang pakar dalam bidangnya. Setiap apa yang dipelajari dapat diamalkan sepanjang hidup! Pada saya, ucapan terima kasih tidak dapat membalas jasa beliau mengajar saya. Kalau ada peluang, secara jujurnya, saya mahu meneruskan latihan bersama mustafa. Semoga suatu hari nanti akan berkesempatan.

My name is Keith and I am a professional badminton player that competes internationally and I was lucky enough to work with Moustafa. I was mainly struggling with knee and hip pain. Furthermore, I was trying to improve my physical fitness to prepare for upcoming tournaments. After training with Moustafa, I managed to get rid of all my injuries while still being able to train at a high level, which allowed me to increase my sporting performance. We were also able to develop my strength, power endurance, mobility and basically almost every aspect of physical fitness in order to prepare me for upcoming tournaments. I believe that with Moustafa's help, I was able to reach these goals and I managed to learn many new things along the way as well. Overall, one of the best coaches/trainers because of the dedication and effort that Moustafa puts into every session. He is also extremely knowledgeable and experienced, which also gives me full confidence while training. He communicates well which allows me to also give my input during training. Another really great thing is the individual attention and specificity in his programs, because he really tailored the program to suit my needs and goals, instead of just giving me a generic program. One more unique thing that Moustafa offers is that he is an expert in rehab and injury prevention, which almost no other trainer does. I think that this is so important and it really differentiates Moustafa from other trainers because he has this extra skill and knowledge which is usually neglected by many in Malaysia. I believe that Moustafa is a well-rounded coach/trainer and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone who is looking to improve their physical fitness or health in general, regardless if you are an athlete or not.
Moustapha is a blessing to have as a personal trainer. Having had knee pain for several years now i never thought that a personal trainer can be so much help not only in the re-habilitation of my knee but the exercise and workout he introduced with specific detailed observations and instruction was life changing. To top it up, my nutrition intake was also catered for and hopefully i can also lose weight along the way. My earlier beliefs and practice on what i can and cannot do thrown out the window and i gain new perspectives on how to use the right techniques to regain my motion again. As i am probably one of his oldest client (61 years old), i hope to be his testimony on knee rehab and success stories. Excellent trainer and worth every penny
Why I do this differently
I've spent over 12 years training people in Kuala Lumpur, and the people who reach me are usually the ones nothing else worked for. Slipped discs, worn knees, backs that gave out, a doctor's warning about blood sugar or cholesterol. They've been managed, adjusted, and told to rest. What they hadn't been given was a way to make their body strong enough that the problem stops dominating their life.
That's the gap I fill. I hold a master's degree in sports science from the University of Malaya and trained in both rehabilitation and strength, because most recurring pain is not only a treatment problem. It is usually also a strength problem. My job isn't to keep you coming back. It's to rebuild you and set you free.
I work closely, patiently, and at your pace. I speak English, Malay, Arabic and French, and I train people in their homes, in the gym, or online. Where a case needs medical care, I say so and work alongside your doctor or physiotherapist.
