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. Moustafa's expertise and personalized approach offer a ray of hope in my journey towards better health. For instance, during our initial consultation, he attentively listened to my concerns and thoroughly assessed my condition. With his guidance, we discovered tailored exercises and techniques that alleviate discomfort while gradually strengthening my knees. Moreover, his holistic approach extends beyond physical training, he provides invaluable advice on nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, empowering me to make sustainable changes for long-term wellness. One aspect of Moustafa's support that I deeply appreciate is his meticulous attention to detail. He explains each exercise in detail, including its purpose and the specific muscles it targets. 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. I'm thrilled to share that I can now complete a 6KM run without experiencing any knee pain, thanks to incorporating proper pre and post-stretching exercises into my routine. With this newfound confidence, I'm eagerly setting my sights on a 10KM run, a goal that once seemed out of reach. Moreover, Moustafa's training has opened my eyes to alternative forms of exercise. Recognizing the value of gym workouts in maintaining overall fitness and preventing injury, I've decided to continue incorporating them into my routine. His support and encouragement have instilled in me a newfound appreciation for diverse workout methods, empowering me to pursue a well-rounded approach to fitness. Moustafa comes highly recommended for his exceptional expertise, personalized approach, and unwavering dedication to his clients' well-being.

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
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.
Does this sound like you?
- Stairs, slopes and standing up from a chair are the moments you notice it most.
- A scan or a doctor mentioned wear, osteoarthritis or a meniscus issue.
- Your knee swells or aches the day after any longer walk or run.
- You have been told to simply rest, avoid squats and live with it.
- A knee replacement or injection has been raised and you want other options first.
- You still want to hike, jog, play badminton or keep up with your family.
How the rebuild works
Assessment
A 60 minute session to see how your knee, hip and ankle share load, where strength is missing and which movements currently irritate the joint.
Progressive rebuild
Strength work chosen for your knee, loaded gradually so the joint is supported rather than provoked. Every repetition is coached for form.
Back to activity
We rebuild toward the things you stopped doing, walking distance, stairs, running or sport, at the pace your knee tolerates.
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.

Previous to going into a commitment to engage in Moustafa's personal training services, he conducted a thorough phone interview and assessment to learn more about my current activity and any lingering issues. At the time, my two main problems were severe mid thoracic back spinal pain, and recovering from recent stress fractures in both knees. I also suffered from a multitude of mobility issues from shoulders, hips and ankles. With the foundation Moustaf helped me implement after 9 sessions, I can say I am completely free of thoracic back pain, and mobility in said areas have greatly improved. I highly recommend Moustafa if you are looking for a professional who takes a holistic approach to your wellness.
