Introduction

Hi, I'm Alex, an experienced NYC personal trainer specializing in strength training, movement, and posture. With over 8 years in the industry and certifications from NASM, Precision Nutrition, and Functional Range Conditioning, I work with clients to build real strength, improve mobility, and enhance body composition so they feel stronger and look better. I’m based primarily at the Independent Training Spot on 39th Street in Midtown West but also offer flexible training at other ITS locations throughout the city, including 28th Street, Midtown East, Union Square, and Soho. For busy professionals, I know convenience is key, so I’m also open to training at your location (Manhattan and Northwest Brooklyn). My customized programs focus on functional strength and sustainable progress. Whether you’re new to training or getting back into it, I’ll bring the experience and guidance to help you achieve lasting results. Book a free consultation to see how strength training can make a difference in your life.

Alex is an incredible trainer. He is really thoughtful about the right exercises and progressions based on my unique needs. He's very knowledgable, always available to give help/advice, and I always have a great session with him.

I can’t say enough good things about Alex. He’s a terrific trainer, knowledgeable, and attentive, someone who both encourages and pushes his clients. It never fails to amaze me what he notices even when we’re on Zoom, and his smallest adjustments often make a world of difference. Alex has helped me work through a chronic shoulder injury; he routinely sends me workouts throughout the week so I can keep up with training without him. He is truly focused on his clients’ overall health and well-being. I can’t believe how much stronger I’ve gotten working out with him. My only regret is that I didn’t start earlier!

Alex is a great trainer. He is very knowledgeable and a great accountability partner. Most importantly, he meets you where you are and puts together a program specific to your needs. I highly recommend working with Alex.

Alex takes a holistic approach to fitness. I came to him looking to pack on some muscle and get myself leanerfairly conventional goals. Yet Alex honed in on things I didnt even know I could benefit from, like rotator cuff stability, lateral shoulder strength, and hip mobility. I always did a good amount of cardio, but it wasnt until I started resistance/strength training with Alex, and making a few small, manageable lifestyle changes, that I started seeing the results I historically was unable to achieve. Four years later Im not only leaner and stronger, but I actually move and feel better too. Ive been able to develop an awareness and understanding of my physical well-being, and incorporate helpful lifestyle tips Alex shares during our sessions together. Thank you, Alex!

Alex is the best trainer that I have encountered. He cares about his clients, and goes out of his way to fit his training to their needs. I have been working with him for 5 years now, and I am 18 pounds lighter than when I started. At 77 years I have a few aches and pains that require special attention, but my workouts, and Alexs guidance, keep them well at bay. He knows what he is doing, is well qualified, and makes a point of staying informed about new developments in his field. Alex is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anyone.
