Meet The Phyzique Team: Malik

Malik has been a breathe of fresh air when working with a trainer. Most can be aggressive and a bit over the top (and way too talkative). Malik has a very gentle and respectful approach. He both challenges and supports which makes the experience very pleasant. He also tries to find other solutions including diet and supplement related information for me to help as I am a middle aged women in perimenopause. So clearly going above and beyond. Have really enjoyed working with him and enjoy his nature and energy.

I work out at Fitness First - Paragon and my trainer is Malik. Initially I was a little abivalent about using a trainer as I had never used one before. However, after only a few sessions, I knew I has made the right decision. Malik is quite knowledgeable about anatomy and correction of muscle imbalances. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional trainer.

I’m 50 and have been training with Malik for the last 2 years. I started the journey with him 30kgs over my ideal weight, a weak lower back (history of slip discs) and very stiff muscles. Malik was great in being patient and gradually helping me build strength, flexibility and balance. It’s still work in progress, but I’ve managed to drop 17 kgs of body weight alongside.

I have trained under Malik for several years. Malik has consistently shown himself to be a dedicated personal trainer who takes his work very seriously. He is always on time or early for our training sessions, which is but a small testament to his professionalism and respect for clients’ time. In terms of physical training, Malik is a firm believer in getting the fundamentals right, and I have benefitted from his structured approach. His focus on strengthening key muscle groups responsible for good posture has also kept me free from common ailments afflicting many desk-bound workers. I heartily recommend Malik’s services, whether you have highly specific fitness goals or just wish to improve your fitness holistically.

I first engaged Malik as a personal trainer during my NS- a time of angst, feeling stressed and lack of healthy lifestyle. He dutifully helped me with training each week, and is very patient and effective even for beginners at weight training. I felt supported throughout, and he also sincerely rendered me personable and authentic support and encouragement through Whatsapp which helped me stay positive on most non-training days too

I started Personal Training with Malik after my family moved to Singapore in 2015. Malik helped me throughout my fitness journey with cardio, functional and strength trainings since then. His hard work and skill brought my fitness to the next level. After years of training with Malik, I run half marathon first time in my life in 2019. I was over 46 that time. Malik ran with me, cheered me and encouraged me all the way to finish line. I had never gained that kind of confidence in my life before. Really appreciate him for that invaluable and wonderful achievement. I left Singapore in 2019 but took every chance for training with Malik whenever I was in town. We relocated back again to Singapore last year and my priority job was calling Malik for Personal Training but not for me this time, it’s for my son. I trust Malik and I want him to train my teenage son. I was so pleased seeing my son’s athletic skills improving with the good training of Malik. A skillful Trainer, safety oriented guardian, marathon runner and a passionate learner himself, I respect Malik and am impressed by his professionalism and disciplined manner. Without any doubt, I would continue my fitness journey with Malik.

I workout at Fitness First Paragon, I have also trained with other fitness trainers in the club but the effect has not been effective. Why would I choose Malik as my personal fitness trainer? Of course it is because of his carefulness and his experience. At the time I had problems with knee pain. Worked out with him for over two years and now not only can I run, I have no problem going up and down stairs. Now the muscle strength is also stronger, the body's sense of balance and joint flexibility have been greatly improved. I am very happy and strongly recommend that those who want to improve their health can train with this professional fitness trainer.

I started Personal Training many years ago. By chance my PT was off, I happened to train with Malik. Malik impressed me from the very 1st training that he reckoned right away my weakness, ie being not flexible, muscles always tensed up, etc. Being a skilful and professional Trainer, safety oriented guardian, he looked after and helped me throughout my fitness journey with functional and strength trainings since then. Malik is a runner, we always exchange tips in running, all terrain and marathon. Really appreciate Malik for all my wonderful achievement, in health, endurance and tenacity.

Although I have been active in individual sports, I decided to go into gym when I relocated to Singapore, 2.5 years ago. Starting in Paragon I got with Malik, my second personal trainer, and found what I needed. Working on flexibility and strength made me free of any lower back problems. Next to this, I gained an interest in fitness in the gym as I clearly felt and saw the benfits of flexibility as well as strength. Doing sports should also be fun and with Malik as a personal trainer, there was always interesting discussions around the sessions. This is how it should be!

I always look forward to my twice a week training session with Malik and never fail to turn up unless I am overseas or having a big night out. Over the last one year he has trained me well and I feel healthier and stronger after every session with him. It has been a pleasant journey to get to where I am today. His dedication, effectiveness and conscientious attitude is a big win why I choose him as my trainer.

I have trained with Malik for over five years. Malik’s thoughtful approach to training, gentle encouragement, caring attitude, and expert guidance has had a transformational effect on me. He has taken me on a journey from reluctant gym goer to fitness enthusiast, culminating in me running regular marathons and half marathons, supporting my fitness goals diligently throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending Malik to anyone looking for a personal trainer.

Malik was my chosen trainer for 5 years. THAT says it all! He worked with me on good days and bad. He was extremely well organised, knew what muscle group needed to be hit and was attentive to my need for time flexibility. An utter professional and great human being!!
