my journey

Iosif Beniaminov

I have been a dedicated personal trainer since 2014, beginning my career at NYSC (New York Sports Club) ​as an ACE Certified and Equinox Academy graduate. This initial experience laid the foundation for my career and contributed to my success. While I am not a salesperson by nature, I am passionate about being a trainer and helping my clients achieve their fitness goals. Beginning in 2018, I decided to operate independently in order to better provide my services based on their merits. 

 

My specialty lies in catering to the needs of the everyday person who is looking to achieve a better physique, enhance their overall health, and cultivate healthy habits. I firmly believe that it is possible for anyone to achieve their fitness goals without the need for excessive gym time or intense workouts. I aim to impart this knowledge to all of my clients, while steering clear of social media fads and sticking to science-proven methods in nutrition, behavior, and exercise that yield sustainable results.

I have been working out with Iosif for the past 4 to 5 months and let me say, he is the best of the best! My fitness level and strength have increased dramatically and I can actually see the results. When we started out, we discussed my specific goals and he listened carefully but also guided me on what we should add to the routine and why. He is very knowledgeable about the science behind the workouts and is a great motivator when I am ready to give up. He always keeps it fresh by evolving the sets that we do and makes it challenging enough to get to the next level without making it impossible. Overall, I am super happy with Iosif and the progress I have been able to make as a result of training with him.

Iosif is a straightforward guy, knows his stuff, and wants to help. He’s very accommodating, we’ve been able to move schedules around without any problems. But best thing I can say about him is his infectious work ethic. Because of Iosif, I’ve changed in my thinking about exercise. I actually enjoy it now… weird. Do yourself a favor and set up a meeting. Zack B.
Excellent trainer. The workouts he helps me through are really tough but well thought out. He listens to my concerns and works around them. The workouts I'm doing with Iosif (body weight, floor) are more challenging than ones that I was doing 20 years ago, when I was just throwing heavier weights around the gym, and the results are much more satisfying. I recommend Iosif 100%. Johnny F
Iosif is the best. I had looked for a trainer with skepticism, wondering whether or not I needed one or if I should just focus on doing the drills by myself. From the first day, I saw the benefits of working with someone who knows what he's doing. Not to mention he knows how to have an enjoyable conversation with you in-between drills. It's been a challenging yet fun experience each session. If you're looking for someone who will work with you at your pace while giving you that extra push to go further than your comfort zone, Iosif's your man. Kwame N.
I started working with Iosif in July. He is so patient but stern; I am not very consistent, but he hangs in there with me and keeps coming back (I’m not the easiest client). Iosif is rough and stern, but not a drill sergeant. He is funny, understanding, and great! The hour goes by really fast. He works well with my schedule and since I have left New York I am currently training with him virtually. The virtual sessions are wonderful and offered continuity by allowing me to keep the same trainer. He still has the same personality and being virtual has not affected our sessions at all. He offered nutritional advice and gives homework; I really love that he seems so committed to my health and lifestyle changes. I am obese and did no exercise in years, he has been perfect for a beginner like me. Delois G.
I have been training with Iosif to get in a better shape before my wedding. I continued working with him after giving birth. Iosif was able to get me in a terrific shape! He taught me how to stay consistent to achieve results and get stronger. Also, his classes are fun-he keeps you motivated and pushes to work harder while occasionally throwing in a joke or two. :) Elina T.
