Ati Yusmawati Mohamed Yusoff

Personal Trainer | Women’s Strength & Confidence Coach | Pre- and Postnatal Fitness | Menopause Specialist

Ati has always lived an active lifestyle — from track and field and netball to her love for Zumba. But like many women, she struggled with her weight, especially after her third child. When returning to the gym post-pregnancy, she felt uncertain and overwhelmed, unsure of where to begin.

That changed when she discovered strength training and high-intensity workouts, and with them, a whole new level of confidence. As her body and mindset transformed, friends began asking to train with her — and that’s when Ati realised her true calling.

Now a certified personal trainer, Ati specialises in helping women who feel unsure, unmotivated, or intimidated by the gym environment. Her mission is to guide women toward becoming stronger, healthier, and more confident — both inside and out.

She deeply understands the fears many women have about starting (or restarting) fitness, and she’s passionate about creating a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you feel supported, seen, and empowered to succeed. Ati notices a lot of ladies have difficulty with low confidence and don’t dare to go to the gym alone. In this she found her passion; helping women to be more active and healthy and at the same time, building their confidence.
