I’ve been working with Iz for a few months now. I had never worked out before and the idea of entering a gym alone was too daunting. However, after a few months of coaching with Iz I’ve doubled the weights i’m lifting.
He’s really great at adapting the workout to your specific needs and limitations. He will push you just enough to reach your limits but won’t give you more than you can handle.
He has a wealth of training experience that he shares during each session (form, technique, biology). He has a personal gym that you workout in so it’s easy to focus on your own goals without worrying about distractions or judgements. The overall atmosphere is very relaxed.
Our workout sessions typically run over the 1 hour mark but Iz focuses on the client. I never feel rushed to complete a workout or feel like the quality of my workout changes. On the odd chance that your workout time overlaps with another client’s, his clients are all very understanding.
Iz works with a wide range of people with all different types of fitness levels and needs. The experience of working out with Iz is more like working out with a friend than a trainer. He connects with his clients and is very understanding about their own personal needs and limitations.
You never feel judged for what you can or can’t do. As long as you put in the work and are honest with yourself and Iz he tries to help you succeed with your goals.
If you’re looking for an empathetic trainer who fosters a relaxed environment then Iz is the trainer you need.

Our son has been training with Iz for a month and we have already seen results with his confidence and performance. Iz has him on a weight lifting program 2 to 3 times per week that is not only building his body but it is also building his self esteem. I would highly recommend Iz if you are looking for a personaltrainer that has a vested interest in you achieving your stated results.

I have static nerve pain and have worked with physical therapy for over 6 weeks, and the pain was still there. I could not do anything like walk and work clean up my house or barely take care of my kids without pain. I have worked with IZ for over six weeks, and I am not all the way pain-free, but I have been working out walking and able to clean my house without being in pain. I so appreciate him for his patience and getting my together for I can do normal activities like I used to.

Starting working with Iz in June. I was dieting and losing weight but wanted to get a weight lifting routine formed to counteract the muscle loss. I started single weekly sessions and he was able to get me started and help me by forming a full body workout routine and helping with my form while lifting. He's very knowledgeable about dieting as well as all round self care while on any health journey.

I connected with Iz through this app and it's been great! Iz is dedicated to the profession and each individual he trains with. He approaches every client differently and will listen to your goals and concerns. He will then build a regiment that will push you but leave you feeling great.
Iz is attentive and will correct your form to give you the most out of the exercise. He also helped to correct issues that were causing me pain in my day to day life through corrective exercise. Iz is a great personaltrainer who only wants to see you succeed!
