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. Priya S

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.

When I started training with Iosif, I had a lot of problems with health: it was hard to walk at a good pace, I couldn't carry groceries, I had a problem running even a little bit. Then we started our training and I noticed that gradually my physical form improving. Now I have a small baby and I understand that without my trainings I would not be able to care for my child so easily. I am in the best shape of my life now! Highly recommend! Zhenya L.

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.

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 a terrific trainer! I’ve been working with him for over a year now and I find him very knowledgeable, punctual, friendly and he’s helping me achieve my goals. I highly recommend working with him! Brenna

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

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

I have been working with Iosif for the past 10 months, he is an amazing trainer. He created a workout plan that has helped me build strength and flexibility, I feel better than I ever have since we started our sessions. Iosif is friendly, personable, and always prompt and communicative. Lucas B.

Iosif is a phenomenal trainer and teacher. I’ve been training since 2011 however once I started training with Iosif in 2017, he has taught me new, innovative ways to train I’ve never thought of. He is creative with his routines and spot on with his nutrition plans. He pushes me to my limits, then helps me surpass my limits the next session. Iosif makes the session fun and my knowledge, confidence, strength, and goals have increased beyond my wildest imagination! - Jehu R

Iosif is the best! He tailors your workout to your goals and capabilities; I saw results instantly after training with him for a couple weeks. He pushes you just to your limit and sometimes even past what you think you can do. He’s also just a great guy, very friendly and professional - I’ve seen trainers on their phone the whole time they’re with a client and Iosif is not that type. If I could afford it, I’d train with him every day. Thanks, Iosif! Lorenzo D

I have been working out with Iosif on and off for about 5 years and it has been a great experience. He is great about coming up with a plan that works for you and is flexible and attentive to scheduling. He has consistently kept me on pace to meet my goals and I strongly suggest his services to anyone looking for an attentive and understanding trainer. Tom

Iosif is clearly very passionate about his work, he instantly makes you feel comfortable and at ease while training, no matter what your fitness goals I am certain he will be more than able to take you there. My fitness level has rapidly improved, and I feel confident in training by myself now because he gave me the right tools and knowledge through our PT sessions. Dima H

Iosif is a great PT. He listens to what I want in terms of my goals and tailors the program accordingly. He always tries to mix it up, so that I don't get bored of same exercises, and to keep my muscles guessing. He is always on time (or early), professional and understanding about my flexible and often last-minute travel schedule. I would recommend him whole-heartedly to anyone looking for a sound and robust Personal Trainer. Alex G

Excellent trainer! Really takes time to understand your needs and what works best for your body. He is always on time, professional and flexible with your schedule! 100% would recommend! Anne C

When I started with Iosif I had not worked out in over 5 years. He eased me into a routine and was great at keeping my motivation up! He changed up the exercise every session which helped me stay interested and on track! Can’t recommend him enough, whatever you are trying to achieve he will help you get there! Ashley L

Iosif is a terrific trainer. He is always on time or early and is very professional. But most importantly, he is on top of his game as a trainer. He assesses and knows just how much to push, while keeping it fresh. My prior experience with trainers was drudgery...with Iosif, I look up and our sessions are over. I strongly recommend him if you are looking for a serious but down-to-earth trainer. Al Z
