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’ve had trainers and nutritionists in the past and hadn’t found the right fit – just not worth the time, money, and simply couldn’t stick to it. All of this changed when I first met Ian. I was amazed with how instantly comfortable I felt with him and our first 3 group sessions flew with each visit a new workout that left me feeling invigorated! Ian doesn't have a complex where he has to break me and make me painfully sore for days. He is flexible to my schedule and we work out of my apartment once a week and two times at his beautiful studio near Wayne where he has every tool imaginable from classic gym machines, treadmills, ellipticals, to monster tires and hammer swings, trx, battleropes etc. It was a no-brainer to sign up for 20 visits and I'm finally excited to workout and see the transformation I knew I was capable of all along. He is a true professional and is genuinely invested in my personal success, knows just how to push me forward to keep me motivated and focused, not to mention, a joy to be with! If you’ve been looking for the best trainer - look no further - with Ian, is where you want to be.

Knows his stuff! This guy doesn't mess around. Saw that I was skeptical as I've worked with dozens of trainers in the past and has met and continues to exceed my expectations. Every workout is different and challenging. I'm eating better, feeling stronger, and couldn't be happier. His knowledge of the human body is uncanny and it shows - as he practices what he preaches and even joins me for workouts.

Ian was extremely professional and knowledgeable. My 15year old soccer playing son is very enthusiastic about getting Ian's help with his training and fitness program.

Ian goes above and beyond for his clients. His knowledge about nutrition, exercise routines and your overall health will make you feel comfortable and safe. I would recommended Ian for any age group or skill level. Ian not only is a great trainer but is a great friend.
