About
I was born and raised in Moldova Republic and migrated to United States when I was 20 yeas old. I'm now a certified (15 certifications) personal trainer based in Philadelphia. I’ve been doing personal training full time since 2011 training hundreds of clients of all backgrounds and genders in NYC, Atlanta and Denver. I also coach personal trainers by doing seminars and workshops.
My training methods emphasize progressive calisthenics. Accordingly, my program design is built on a principle of increasing strength and skill level that results in dramatic improvement in body composition when combined with proper nutrition.
I've spent a significant amount of time on my education. I have attained 15 various personal training certifications and have attended dozens of advanced fitness workshops and seminars with some of the best strength coaches in the world. I'm constantly studying and reading about new advances in fitness to incorporate into my training methods.

Alex is super knowledgeable and can cater a program depending on your needs. I am recovering from a hip injury and in a short time he has greatly improved my strength and mobility. He is regularly switching up exercises to more advanced progressions which keeps things fun and also challenging. Aside from his expertise, he is incredibly kind and an overall pleasure to be around. I highly recommend Alex!

I have worked with Alex for greater than 6 months, and I have enjoyed working out with him. He is professional, hard working and kind and he always comes up with workouts/exercises that are challenging, but manageable. I recommend him to anyone trying to lose weight and/or build muscle mass.

Working with Alex has been a life changing experience. He is organized, professional, and responsive to client needs. He responds timely and is flexible with scheduling. Not only does he demonstrate his advanced knowledge of personaltraining, he is able to develop a plan specifically designed to meet your personal goals. At the end of a session with Alex you feel as if you have accomplished more than you could have imagined. I highly recommend hiring Alex.

Really glad I was able to train with Alex! My form and technique are much better and I appreciated the education behind every exercise. Alex is very calm which made for an enjoyable training session as well!

Alex is a great person to work with. He will work with you and train you based off your goals. He's very caring and passionate about what he does. I have very specific requirements for what I'm working towards and so far Alex has blown through any other trainer I've worked with. Looking forward to continuing our program and achieving my goals. Another thing that stood out was he wasn't too familiar with my sport as track sprinter on the velodrome, but he took the time to learn and read about it to get a better understanding of exactly what it is I do. That right there says a lot about him and what he is willing to do to help you achieve your goals. I'm very happy and will continue to work with Alex. Thank you!!!!

PRICES vary from $110 to $155 for 1-on-1 depending on training frequency (NO GYM MEMBERSHIP FEES).
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
As my new client you’ll get a complementary fitness assessment where you’ll perform a movement screen that will give me some important information about your strength and mobility. We will go over your fitness goals, medical history and more. By the end of your consultation, I'll be able to design your program as well as make a recommendation about training frequency, intensity, volume and other important variables of your future training program.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I think that best trainers never stop learning! And I definitely strive to be the best personal trainers I can be , which requires me to constantly invest in my continual education. I have dozens of certifications and I have attended many workshops lead by some of the top professionals in the industry. I currently have 14 certifications.
