I came to MOVE because I was slowly losing strength and mobility. Both feet hurt, my ankles n knees felt unstable, stairs had become something I dreaded. I had once been athletic, and I wanted to feel like that person again.I knew I needed more than just 'exercise' : I needed proper resistance training and someone qualified to coach me through it.That someone turned out to be Coach Dustin Liao.Dustin is bright, energetic n conscientious, but what has impressed me most is how knowledgeable n observant he is. He explains the what, why n how of an exercise, watches my form closely, corrects gently when necessary n ensures I am safe always. He knows when to push me and equally imprtantly, when to pull back, or modify something for me. I never feel I am simply being put through a standard programme.Dustin does, however have a suspicious relationship with numbers! During any exercise, I might count 12 reps, but he somehow only counts 10...n I end up willingly doing more! He also has a sneaky habit of increasing weights without telling me , so that, despite my complaints which he cheerfully endures, I have quickly become considerably stronger than when i started! 😃The results are tangible! In just over 2 months, I have gained 1kg of muscle, reduced body fat by almost 4% and my visceral fat reading dropped from 14 to 11! I can lift heavier without discomfort, my balance has improved n best of all I no longer fear stairs! I recently completed a 4-hour Penang Hill Herutage Trail hike - much of it climbing steps - without knee pain or any significant leg soreness afterwards! I am thrilled, to say the least!The greatest change, however, has bn psycholigical. I feel my old athletic identity returning, my confidence growing and training has spilled over into the rest of my life too : I eat better, sleep earlier, scroll less, read more. I now know how to grow n protect muscle, move safely n w balance. I feel I can look forward to much healthier years ahead - n it fills me w hope n happiness.MOVE Private Fitness deserves credit for creating an environment where these little miracles can happen! It is professional n results-focussed without being intimidating : bright, friendly, well-organised with excellent progress tracking and coaches who care about both results and safety. And the music there is pretty decent too!A training session always feels like a date w a good friend who's personally taken it on himself to help you transform, and thatbis priceless. Thank you Coach Dustin, thank you MOVE!
