Introduction: Hello! My name is Ian Krivoshein and am the proud owner of IK Fitness personal training, rehabilitation, and massage therapy. Thank you for your consideration! From an early age I experienced the life altering effects of bullying, isolation due to my obesity and non-athleticism, and injuries from numerous accidents. Learning to be happy in one's own skin is elemental - however my motivation in my style of training and massage therapy comes from a passion and love for the amazing science and resilience of the human body! 12 years ago I began this company after graduating with a degree in Anatomy & Physiology, Exercise Science, and minor in Nutrition. I am ACSM, NASM, and ACE certified and fully insured both for in-studio training at my facility in Pompton Plains and Riverdale, New Jersey and in home appointments. Likewise, am Swedish Institute certified for massage modalities and am an Easter Seals member - privileged in training special needs patients. Many of my personal training clients utilize my massage services providing a well rounded approach to fitness, flexibility, relaxation, and overall well being. Such clients include post physical therapy patients to children looking to improve their agility in sports. I enjoy bridging circuit training with balance, coordination, mixed martial arts, and muscle confusion techniques. Similary am well versed in crossfit exercises, bodybuilding, and most modern approaches to weightloss, athletic conditioning, & attention that special needs and autistic patients require. All of my training packages include a nutritional evaluation and stretching protocol. I pour this same passion into my massage therapies and include essential oil infusion in all my organic oils and lotions. There is an ingrained and undying love for the work that I do and am excited to be part of your transformation. I look forward to hearing from you! ~ Best of health My successes in personal training, nutritional guidance, and massage therapy stems from healthy and honest communication between myself and my clients. Seeing results is crucial, but at the same time having fun and learning something in the process is a must! I hope to pass this along to all I see whether in the gym, on the scale, or on my massage table. An autistic child can ask for a selfie with me after her kick-ass workout, a client can now fit into a stunning dress for a special event, or I get an email from an executive who shot par at his last golf outting feeling minimal to no pain in the shoulder he had operated on and my week has been made! Job well done!

I first met Ian going on 13 years when I was much younger, overweight, and out of shape. We discussed what course of action I needed to take to get myself back on track. Ian set my goals, my diet and my workout routine, I was only 66 and eager to get back in shape. I put my body in Ian's hands and slowly he transformed me into a much better person both physically and mentally. Just as I thought I was in the best of shape, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Now it became a brand new ball game. Depression set in and for a short time lost my desire to continue at the gym. Again he came to the rescue and convinced me that I needed the gym now more than ever and pushed me harder. Similarly, his massage therapy helped ease the discomforts from Parkinson's tremendously! Excellent treatments with varying techniques. He was right - my Parkinson's tremors are not increasing and my neurologist says to continue doing exactly what I'm doing. Thank you Ian, for giving me a quality of life I can enjoy and my goal is to have a body like yours (LOL). One can dream. I would follow Ian to the moon if necessary. You are truly a remarkable and caring person. Thank you for all you've blessed me with! Richard Swetz

I was experiencing pain due to fibromyalgia. Although I am experienced with massages, I am always a little hesitant about new people doing them because of a prior back surgery and health history including the fibromyalgia. Ian listened to everything I had to say, explained everything he planned on doing during my session. The massage went well Ian communicated appropriately and I felt good, relaxed, and comfortable. Which says a lot...I have a really hard time trusting people. My experience was a positive one and Ian encouraged me to see him again as he had areas of concern that he spoke to me about. After my session he let me know what was going on with my body, and gave some stretching to support it. I will be seeing Ian again in the near future!

I have been using Ian's services for 15 years. He keeps me motivated with interesting and fun workouts every week. Ian is also very knowledgeable in the field of nutrition and has helped me improve my health and lose unwanted fat through a balanced diet. I have a very strong sweet tooth and he has found creative ways for me to fight my sugar cravings. Finally Ian is very skilled as a massage therapist, whether you use him to relieve stress or to work out the knots in your muscles you will not be disappointed! I also want to make known that in addition to the many skills I mentioned above Ian has one of the best personalities I have ever come across. He makes every client feel as if you are his close personal friend!

Massage therapy has been an important part of my life for many years. I was only introduced to Ian recently and was quickly impressed with not only his extensive knowledge of the human body, but his ability to pinpoint and address my problems. It is apparent that he loves what he does and truly cares about his client's welfare. It's what makes him exceptional!

Motivational! Very well educated! Relatable and never intimidating...Just the right amount of push! Seeing Ian 6weeks now 2-3x a week both at my house and his gym & couldn't be happier with my decision. Lower back pain has eased and he works well with my hectic schedule. His studio is modern, clean, and offers every tool someone would need. Home workouts are tough but start my day on the right foot. My wife is an avid tennis player and has struggled with hip and ankle pain for months. She started seeing Ian for deep tissue and neuromuscular massages weekly - and they have helped tremendously.
