Personal training in MJC, Kuching.

My aim was to strengthen my legs muscles. And to regain confidence to use my left leg again. Last week i hiked in Lambir Hill national park, Miri and surprised that my legs were strong enough to navigate the jungle path. I was very pleased with the experience and I believe that it has been due to exercise that I have done with Coach Matiin and my previous Pilates instructor. This week I’m in a health retreat near Malacca and we have to do morning walks up and down the hill. In the past visits, I had difficulty in climbing up the hill ( and I was younger then!) . I surprised myself again that I find the climb/ walk manageable and wasn’t as dreadful as I previously experienced. So I have to come to a conclusion that strong leg muscle is so crucial to our wellbeing and if we want to continue to stay healthy and active.

My fitness goal is to build myself up in terms of fitness and overall health. Coach Darren is very encouraging and passionate about what he does, and I can really see the enthusiasm he brings to every session. I feel stronger and less tired since I started training. It's also a great place to be and helps me relieve stress at times. I would definitely recommend this personal training studio because there's no way I could have achieved this on my own.

From our very first session, Darren never made me feel judged. He met me where I was, patiently taught me the basics, corrected my form, and reminded me that progress is built one step at a time. On the days I doubted myself, he believed in me enough for the both of us. What touched me most wasn't just his knowledge—it was how much he genuinely cared. He checked in on my progress, celebrated every small win with me, and adjusted my training whenever I struggled instead of pushing me beyond my limits. I never felt like just another client. In just my first month, I lost 2kg and my waist became noticeably slimmer. But if I'm honest, the biggest transformation wasn't the number on the scale—it was my mindset. I walked into the gym feeling scared and out of place. Thank you, Coach Darren, for giving me more than just fitness results. You helped me build confidence, discipline, and belief in myself. Those are things I'll carry long after I reach my fitness goals. If you're someone who's putting off the gym because you're afraid, overwhelmed, or think you're "not fit enough," I hope this gives you the push you need. I started exactly where you are, and I couldn't have asked for a better coach to guide me through it.

I joined iLift in March 2026 to keep in shape, and now it has become part of my life. The exercises are not too hard to follow, and I can really feel the difference now compared to before I started. I feel stronger, more agile, more alert and energetic, and my overall health is so much better. I always look forward to my classes. Coach Jeremy is very good. Always punctual, starts and ends on time, and always does a proper warm up, workout and cool down. Very flexible in arranging alternate dates too. His instructions are easy to understand. At my age it is not easy to remember all the exercises, but Coach Jeremy is very patient and understanding about this. Most of all, he keeps me safe and helps me achieve results. My poor posture and unsafe movements are corrected, and when I am not feeling well the exercises are made easier, then harder ones are introduced when I am ready. He also explains which muscles benefit from each exercise, makes sure the equipment is safe, and lets me work at my own pace so I never feel pressured. Whenever I ask a question, Coach Jeremy is always attentive. I highly recommend iLift.

一开始来找教练 Darren 训练，只是希望自己能够变得更健康、身体更强壮，不再那么容易生病。 训练这段时间后，我真的感受到身体有很大的改变。我的体能和肺活量都提升了，也养成了规律运动的习惯，饮食习惯变得更健康，姿势改善了不少，身体酸痛也明显减少。 让我最惊喜的是，我过去已经连续服用了 5 年安眠药。训练一段时间后，有一天我决定尝试不靠安眠药睡觉，没想到我真的自然睡着了！现在已经不再需要依赖安眠药。以前几乎每天都会喝酒，现在也变成只是偶尔小酌。 教练 Darren 不只是带我训练，更是真心关心我的健康。他会经常询问我的身体状况、饮食和睡眠，也会一步一步帮助我建立运动习惯和更健康的生活方式，而不是只关注训练成绩。 我最大的挑战……就是不断挑战我教练 Darren 的极限（笑）！非常感谢 Darren 一路以来的耐心、专业和鼓励，让我不仅身体变得更健康，也拥有了更好的生活品质。真心推荐给任何想改变自己的人！

Initially, I sought training with Coach Darren simply hoping to become healthier, stronger, and less prone to illness. After training for a while, I've truly felt a significant change in my body. My fitness and lung capacity have improved, I've developed a regular exercise routine, my diet has become healthier, my posture has improved considerably, and my body aches have noticeably decreased. What surprised me most was that I had been taking sleeping pills for five years. After training for a while, one day I decided to try sleeping without them, and to my surprise, I actually fell asleep naturally! Now I no longer need sleeping pills. I used to drink alcohol almost every day, but now it's just an occasional small drink. Coach Darren doesn't just train me; he genuinely cares about my health. He frequently inquires about my physical condition, diet, and sleep, and helps me gradually establish exercise habits and a healthier lifestyle, rather than just focusing on training results. My biggest challenge… is constantly pushing Coach Darren to his limits (laughs)! I'm incredibly grateful for Darren's patience, professionalism, and encouragement along the way, which has not only made me healthier but also given me a better quality of life. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who wants to change themselves!

I got to know about iLift from Facebook ads. My wife and I signed up Group Personal Training and the fitness coach assigned to us is Coach Darren Liew. The main reasons i decided to took up personal training is that I do not know where and how to start weight training and I am very afraid of getting injured if i trained without a proper guidance. My main goal is to gain a toned body shape with some increased in muscle mass before hitting the 40 years old line. Coach Darren Liew is very attentive to our needs. He helped to correct our postures during weight training to make sure that both me and my wife wouldn't hurt our joints and lower back. We have a WhatsApp group with him and during rest days, he would text and ask whether we have any muscle aches or joint pain, as well as giving us tips on stretching to relieve the muscle ache. We had completed 6 months PT training last month and guess what? We signed up another 6 months. Definitely 5 Stars.
