Testimonials

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.

Robert McDermott

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.

Sanjay Gujral

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

Marc Budit

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.

Thuyein

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.

Philip

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.

Siu Man Chan

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!

Rob

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.

Clemen

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.

Dean

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!!

Nik has been my personal trainer since Q2 2018. For the first one and a half years in Singapore, where he was coming to my house and for the past one and a half years as a virtual trainer whilst I have been living in the US. He was also conducting the physical training and nutrition courses at the Center for Creative Leadership executive leadership training week which I participated in. Furthermore, we had hired him for the training program of our Mercedes Benz Financial Services Leadership Meetings for the Africa & Asia Pacific region. Nik is an outstanding fitness trainer, motivator and health coach. He has immaculate work ethics. He is never late, always prepared and in a cheerful mood, ready to get the best out of you each and every day. Nik is fun and easy going whilst at the same time being the most professional trainer I have worked with. He adapted very quickly and transitioned extremely well into the virtual training setup induced and required in the pandemic. I am happy to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a highly individualized and top tier quality training program. For individuals and groups. I am also happy to provide testimony to the above in a video conference or phone interview. My contact details are included.

Peter Henn, Personal Training

Nik Abraham is one of the finest personal trainers I have ever encountered. He has deep knowledge about physiology, nutrition, and sports psychology, and is passionate about helping others reach their goals. He is gentle and supportive when his clients need this approach, and will push hard when we are trying to reach a milestone. He helped me achieve significant physical goals after double knee replacement, and he has been instrumental in helping me maintain physical activities that I love. After hearing of our success he now support multiple members of my family across multiple timezones and locations, all with difference goals and personalities. He is flexible and cares deeply about his clients. Nik is not only my personal trainer, but has become a good friend. I unequivocally support Nik Abraham and recommend him to anyone that is looking for support to improve their quality of life.

There’s no better fitness class in Singapore than Saturday afternoon Bootcamp with Nik. Guilt free Saturday nights, refreshingly achey Sunday’s, a not to be missed all round workout.

Trevor Vail, Fitter Class

I can only say positive things. It makes the classes very enjoyable, different, you never get bored and you work in all classes the different parts of the body. From the first moment you feel that you are dealing with a lifelong friend. They correct you whenever you are doing the exercise badly or gives you other options in case you may be injured with another type of exercise. There is a good variety of exercise in its class covering cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training. In a few words I am very happy, they give excellent attention.

Ana Torralvo Liebanas, Fitter Class

Nik's knowledge about health and fitness is astounding. I don’t have to worry about my program as I know what he plans is good for me. I feel safe knowing he prioritizes safety. Before Nik. I didn't do any physical activity and after 10 years he has transformed me. He has changed me physically and my mindset towards taking care of my body. He makes it fun and never boring. Nik always share information with others and colleges to make everyone better. Everyone is competing but he focuses on sharing and making everyone improve.

Zhou Jie Leggett, Personal Training

I have known nik for 7 years now and every time I go to his class, I still learn new things and have so much fun. Nik is a very experienced and knowledgeable coach, but he is also very passionate about his work and his clients’ wellbeing. He creates a fun and comfortable environment for all his clients to push themselves as hard as they can in each session, and yet always manages to make me laugh so hard. Going to nik’s class is like therapy for me. I always feel great and stronger afterwards. Thank you coach Nik!

Yenny Widjaja, Personal Training

Training with Nik is something I always look forward to. I used to undermine my training capabilities but Nik convinced me that I can do it . I feel stronger, fitter and healthier after every session.

Indriany Harahap, Fitter Class

Been training with Nik for about 3 years. He’s a really good coach who loves to motivate people to be more active. My strength & endurance has been significantly improving. He’s very encouraging and has definitely been a key player in my development over the past 3 years. He managed to run his classes with such a fun vibes & great chemistry with all his students.

Agnes Rangkoto, Fitter Class

Nik and Raja were kind and professional when running the Fitter course. It gave me a chance to transition from summertime (limited regular physical exercise) to a more regular routine. I could see that many participants have worked with them, which meant I could improve physically while getting to know the others in this workout community. Hope to attend again. Thank you!

I have the privilege to work with Nik for the past 3 years. I continue to amaze on his ever-changing and creative training circuits. They are super fun, engaging and suitable for all fitness levels. Nik himself is a fun-loving knowledgeable coach, loved by many of us. He is always open for any fitness or health discussions and I value his insights highly. At Fitter class, you’re always guaranteed of an enjoyable yet challenging workout, worth every cent and sweat!! Thanks Nik!

Imelda Gozali

I joined Nik class when I moved to Singapore in Mid 2017. The class is very fun, energetic and a lot of "simple" movements but give big effect. Nik always explains everything very clear in his funny way. This class is for everyone whatever level you are. The class is so alive that 60 minutes never feel long but yet it satisfied you to burn calories. I love his class, never regret coming. Even he moved his place further from my place , I still keen on coming.

Susy Angkawijaya, Fitter Class

I first trained with Phyzique five years ago and even though I’ve tried other gyms since then, I still keep going back to training with Nik and his team. I find Nik’s style of coaching and training very comfortable as he has a good understanding of what my body needs and its limitations in terms of physical endurance. He knows when to push and when to back off, and so far, the tips he gives me in terms of exercise and diet have all paid off (that’s why I absorb them all!). I also love how he is so generous with his knowledge about physical fitness and is willing to chat and share resources even after class. He’s really personally invested in his clients’ success in reaching their fitness goals. Joining Nik’s bootcamp classes regularly (3x a week) was definitely key to my losing weight (8kgs in 6 months ). You can’t get better value for money than joining a bootcamp class led by Nik!

Claravall Ting, Personal Training

I've been training with Nik for the past 3 years and have seen amazing results in that time. I have never felt stronger or healthier. Nik is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm he brings to every session. His easy going, friendly personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. He makes each workout challenging, creative and most importantly, fun !! He also places a high value on correct form with each exercise. He motivates me to push past my perceived limits to get results. I have incredible energy and I've got great new muscles. If you are serious about changing your life for the better, Nik will lead you every step of the way.

Widi, Fitter Class

Nik and Raja did an excellent job at supporting me throughout my pregnancy. With their help, I was able to maintain a lot of strength in my upper body and legs which made me a lot more mobile and made it easier to function as per usual until very late in the pregnancy. It also allowed me to recover faster post delivery. How they did it? Together they made sure I could continue to train 3 times a week until a few days before delivery by adjusting my training intensity and routines along the way, as well as massaging out the areas that were impacted by the extra load and change in body composition. On top of being very skilled trainers, they have the emotional understanding and adaptability to be able to adjust your training & massages to what your mind and body can handle, what you want to achieve, tailored to the phase in your life you are in. Two very kind people anyone would and should be lucky to train with :)!!

Evy Theunis, Personal Training

I can't tell you how much the Fitter class has been so good for me, especially during this year. Thank you for enabling me to fulfill a longtime ambition to exercise more regularly as part of an effort to be more fit all around (mentally, emotionally, physically) with your regular and super accessible online workout classes!

Ting, Fitter Class

Raja is an excellent trainer. He has deep knowledge of the various workouts and incorporates new exercises to step up the workouts each time so that each time I am motivated to do my best! He explains the workouts patiently and pushes me to achieve my fitness goals to my best! Raja also ensures he takes the time to check on me to see if I am doing the additional exercises outside of gym to keep up the pace and energy. He is a highly motivated trainer with deep passion in ensuring his clients meet their fitness goals! It has been a privilege to train with Raja and he is one of the best in Phyzique! I have always been my fittest when at Phyzique and I can never find a gym as superb as Phyzique! They always say that the master shall appear when the student is ready! I am ever ready to step beyond my comfort zone with Raja and the team! Raja has stepped beyond his call of duty as a trainer, with a genuine care for his clients towards achieving their fitness goals! He is truly a gem of a trainer indeed! Kudos to Raja and the team!

Rekha Das, Personal Training

Its my last night here in Singapore and I have my last session with Raja tomorrow, so I wanted to share with you how grateful I am to have had Raja as a trainer for the last two years. I started my time with Raja, injury ridden, fairly despondent about my fitness and very tentative about whether my body would ever cooperate again. Raja was very patient and meticulous in his programming. He knew intuitively when to push and when to let go. Under Raja's care and tutelage, I have rediscovered my love for exercise, a deeper understanding of what my body is capable of and most importantly my confidence.

Priya Gray, Personal Training

aj coached us in aqua fitness since late 2016 We found Raj to be extremely committed to his chosen profession and a extremely well balanced rounded trainer Very versatile , he always kept our sessions fun , humorous and worked us to the level that we required We will miss Raj , he was a bright light for our Singapore experience I have no hesitation in recommending Raj as a trainer

Rob Holden, Personal Training

I have been training with Raja for the past 2 years and it has been a great experience for me. I push myself every session and he encourages me to keep on pushing even when the program gets tough. Raja has really helped me overcome some of my challenges and helped me build a more active lifestyle so I can continue breaking boundaries and setting new ones.

Advait, Personal Training

I have been taking personal training since August 2016 with coach Raja. Since then I have seen an increase in my fitness levels; my running and endurance have gone up. Coach Raja is a great personal trainer as he puts you thru challenges and steps up the level of exercises at the appropriate time. He pushes to get the technique and posture right to work the target group of muscles rather than aimlessly doing number of reps where no benefit can be seen at all. He is able to tailor the exercises to suit your needs. It is an added benefit to have a personal trainer who has expertise on yoga postures as well. I would highly recommend coach Raja for anyone looking to achieve fitness thru personal training.

Mangalam Veeraghanta, Personal Training

I have known Raja since 2013 when attending bootcamp. At Phyzique I train under Nik for personal training and whenever Nik is overseas I prefer to train with Raja. What I like about Raja is his Attention to details when I am executing an exercise. He Will modify accordingly and intensify based on my ability to avoid injuries. He variates the works and bring the right balance to the program. Since I love the stretch, he is the go to coach to help stretch out the body and accommodates our of his own time.

ZJ, Personal Training

I had the pleasure to workout with Raja from Phyzique for many years now. My body has completely changed and Raja helped me to achieve a new level of self-awareness regarding working out the smart way and in alliance with my body composition. My body posture, body fat and muscle tone increased tremendously after only a couple of months working with him. Raja really pays attention to my needs and always adjusts his training approach accordingly. I have never met anybody that has such substantial and advanced fitness, health and wellbeing knowledge. He is very attentive to your form to ensure you are learning proper alignment. Raja has also been the only person that suggested to take care of my old leg injury with regular stretching exercises. My plantar fasciitis has been completely cured within weeks and never came back. I am eternally grateful to him for being the kind of trainer and person he is. Working out with Raja is always my highlight of the week with a lot of fun, laughter but also high class performance outcomes.

Martina Maurer, Personal Training

I have had Raja massage me due to a hectic couple of months. With Raja I was always Comfortable during the massage as I always have only used a lady to massage me. Even though sports massage can be intense I always feel refreshed after the session.He hits the sore spots accurately with the right pressure. He is meticulous in his approach to sports massage and is knowledgeable in his craft.

ZJ, Massage Therapy

Raja has been massaging me for years. I have been to hundreds of practitioners and I can say Raja is by far the best massage therapist I know. As a sufferer of an old leg injury and plantar fasciitis with a sporty lifestyle, regular massages are paramount. Raja provides deeply remedial treatment as well as a very holistic experience that I can highly recommend. Raja’s profound knowledge and constant eagerness to learning additional techniques for his clients really transforms your body to the next level of healthiness. Besides being extremely skilled, Raja is incredibly gifted and knows anatomy very well.

Martina Maurer, Massage Therapy

When you think of Raja, you think of your form. He brings his experience in yoga and mixes that with workout skills and techniques with a strong focus on form, that enables you to isolate and work specific muscle groups. I have know Raja for over 8 years now and in all those years he has run bootcamps, conducted individual private sessions for both my wife and son. He is incredible in making sure that I focus both on intensity as well as consistent form to make the session doubly effective. He invests a lot of his time and provides real individual attention.

Badri Veeraghanta, Personal Training

Raja is one of the most qualified professionals in his field. I had several physio-recovering sessions and he fixed what others prescribed with medicaments and expensive treatments. We all in the family work with him as he’s a fantastic and flexible trainer, but also a very nice person to deal with. We are fortunate to know him and will be his customers for a long time

Evy Theunis, Personal Training

I’ve had the pleasure of having Raj as my personal trainer and he helped me with my knee and shoulder injuries that I got from my job as a professional dancer. Raj was professional, patient, encouraging and diligent with his program designs that were specifically catered to my needs. He also helped with pressure point release at the end of each session which definitely helped with my issues at the time. Raj uses his skills to the fullest to make sure his clients achieve their desired results. I would give Raj 5 star for a job well done.

Yenny, Personal Training

I have known Raja through Phyzique for nearly 3 years and in that time he has always been 100 percent professional. His aporoach to guiding us through the exercise regimes is articulate and focused. He watches our every move to ensure we are doing everything right... he even throws in a fee little funny comments every so often. Raja is an incredible sports masseuse. He has helped me personally with my old sports injures and tight muscles. Thank you Raja and I wish you and Physique all the very best.
