About
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’ve been doing personal training sessions with Alex for about half a year now and he has been great to work with! He’s very reliable and always comes prepared with a plan for our sessions. He’s mindful of working with a client on one’s specific goals as well as being cognizant of any injuries or limitations. He has helped me to build strength and recover from a minor injury I’ve been dealing with. Alex has been very flexible when my scheduling needs aren’t always consistent from week to week which has been great in keeping me on track with my training, and he goes above and beyond in that he has offered helpful nutrition advice, as well as sending me workouts to do on my own in between our sessions together. Alex takes his clients through progressions of different exercises always making sure you have the proper form to ensure safety before moving up in difficulty. If you are looking for a personal trainer, I wholeheartedly recommend Alex!

Alex is such a great trainer and human! I’ve been battling some physical health stuff for a few years now that made working out difficult but Alex has helped me get back into a routine I’m loving. My energy is more stable, I’m gaining more muscle mass and most importantly I’m showing up consistently. He’s patient, very intuitive, knowledgeable, organized and cares a lot about his clients. He works with you, always and has an incredible way of thinking outside of the box to really meet you where you’re at and the goals you’re working towards. I highly recommend him!

Alex is not your average trainer—he’s on another level. His outside-the-box thinking has helped me heal from injuries, improve mobility, and correct imbalances I didn’t even realize I had. He tailors workouts to my specific needs, ensuring I get stronger while staying injury-free. Plus, his flexibility with scheduling makes training easy to fit into a busy lifestyle. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly understands the body and will push you to be your best, go see Alex!

The numbers were not good before I started with Alex. My weight was increasing. My strength was, at best, stagnant. Working with Alex changed everything. I went from barely being able to do 10 push-ups to more than 40 in one shot. I can do all sorts of things I didn't even know humans were capable of, like a crow pose. And best of all, I feel so, so, much better. I really recommend working with Alex.
