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.

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!
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.
Does this sound like you?
- You were cleared to return but the joint still does not feel trusted.
- The same hamstring, knee, shoulder or ankle keeps flaring up.
- You are rebuilding after a knee ligament, meniscus or stress fracture injury.
- Your training is limited by pain rather than by fitness.
- You want to keep competing while the injury is being rehabilitated.
- You need a plan for a specific event, race or season.
How the rebuild works
Assessment
A 60 minute session to test strength, control and mobility side to side, and to map the gap between where you are and what your sport demands.
Rehab plus performance
We rehabilitate the injured area while keeping the rest of your training moving, so you do not lose your season while you recover.
Return to play
Speed, power and sport specific loading are added progressively, with clear markers before each step up.
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.

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.
