We Are Rival KL

Rival KL is a one-stop performance centre built by passionate therapists and coaches who bridge the gap between physiotherapy and fitness. We believe recovery, strength, and long-term health shouldn’t be reserved for elite athletes — they should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we’ve created a space where expert care, functional training, and real human connection come together under one roof.

We’re a small but dedicated team working hands-on to deliver real results through thoughtful care and evidence-based training. Since day one, we’ve grown through our own hard work and purpose — not funding or flashy trends. We’re proudly independent, rooted in strong values like accessibility, trust, and long-term wellbeing — and that’s reflected in every session, every plan, and every person we support.

What makes us different

The values we live by

Going Over and Above

We don’t settle for the minimum — we go the extra mile for every client and teammate because genuine care means showing up fully, every time.

Accountability

We take ownership of our actions, goals, and outcomes — we support each other, hold high standards, and stay committed even when it’s tough.

Respect

We treat everyone with dignity and kindness, no matter their role or background — we listen, we value differences, and we create space for growth.

A Bit About Us

Rival KL was born from more than just ambition — it came from a shared purpose: to make world-class care, training, and recovery accessible to everyone, not just elite athletes. The idea sparked with Mitch, a former goalkeeper and professional car racer who had experienced the highest levels of performance systems. But he saw a gap: why should that level of care be exclusive to professionals?
At the same time, Mitch crossed paths with Ivy and Lydia — two passionate physiotherapists who shared the same vision of helping people move better, live pain-free, and come back stronger. With their combined experience and heart for the community, they built Rival KL: a space that brings athlete-level support to everyday people of all ages and backgrounds.
Rival isn’t just a clinic or a gym — it’s a home for comebacks. A place where you’re seen, supported, and guided through every step of your journey — whether that means recovering from pain, building strength, or chasing a goal you once thought was out of reach. This is Rival KL. Where every pain has a plan. Every goal has a guide. And every comeback is celebrated.
