I have been working with Ivan for past 2 months and the transformation I have had is unbelievable for me. He is extremely professional and takes note every little shortcomings and works with me on correcting them. He worked with me on setting goals for myself and setting out a plan to achieve it. He is also a certified nutritionist and helped create a diet plan for me, which was has been very beneficial in achieving results I wanted. He is also very accommodating in terms of schedule changes. Another important point to mention is that he understands the limits (strength wise and stamina wise) and pushes me very effectively to go just beyond and keep improving More...

Maureen
It started off with the free training session offered at YMCA to new members.
That one session with Ivan, and I made the unexpected decision to have him as a personal trainer.
He has a perfect understanding of the workouts for targeted muscles which for me is was makes a trainer standout.
Not just that, he went out of his way to make and share meal plans that’s specific to my needs while also taking the time to explain it.
If you’re looking for your moneys worth in your fitness journey, Ivan is your go-to!

Ivan is an exceptional teacher and coach. He is laid back and easygoing and teaches in a no-pressure style, which keeps kids engaged and having fun. My son has progressed well since working with Ivan and loves the game even more. I could not recommend a better trainer.

Mark Joshua Ines
Personal Trainers
Ivan is an awesome personal trainer. After discussing my fitness goals, he immediately prepared a workout program for me, as well as a nutrition program. He checks up on me all the time and asks whether I’ve reached my calorie intake, so you can tell that he really cares for his clients. Also, since I’m a beginner, he would always show me the proper form and if I don’t get it right, he won’t get tired repeating it. He’s very knowledgeable and with his experience, trust me you’re in great hands. On top of that, his rate is very affordable. Very recommendable. 10/10 More...
