"When I first started, I had no idea that the training was going to be that in depth and thorough it has been a muscle building, lung expanding plus mental event. Every workout builds on what was performed previously. He alters workout that he takes you through to compensate for different medical problems. I have shoulders problems, with Victor's guidance, I can do pushups using medicine balls, my far reaching goal (one of them) is to do pushup in a handstand position.

Recently I have been taking Victor's Eight week Kettle Bells program, my legs and butt has never hurt so much. I do squat regularly and they have never made my butt feel so alive, Victor said it called "Glute activation" The best recommendation that I give is that my 15 year old son, who is 6 foot, 125 lb fully dressed in winter fashion soaking wet, will not miss the Kettle Bell class. He has no desire lift weights but loves Kettle Bells because it's fun. You should see him doing squat shrugs with 70 lbs. Victor's training has help him in his skateboarding."

Victor is one of the most thorough, well-rounded trainers in the business. No matter what my goal has been (i.e. increasing core/leg strength, improving flexibility, adding lean muscle, losing fat, improving as a boxer, etc.) Victor has been able to construct a fitness regimen to help me to meet my goals. He does a tremendous job of helping me push through my boundaries while keeping the workouts interesting and compelling. Victor's understanding of physiology and fitness, coupled with his amiable teaching style help make each session something I look forward to.

I encourage anyone who has fitness goals to pay Victor a visit. Whether you're just starting off, are bored with your current regimen or even if you're advanced and looking for new ways to challenge your body and mind, Victor is your guy. If you want to look better, feel stronger and perform at a higher level give him a ring and put him in your calendar...

Meghan from New Jersey

I have been working with Victor for nearly 2 years and have seen noticeable improvements thanks to our training sessions. Victor keeps a varied program with me, ensuring that each session is fun, motivating and interesting, while still building off of previous flexibility, strengthening and core stabilizing techniques. Since I first started with Victor, I’ve learned different exercises I can do at home on our off days, so that our time together is even more valuable working on my body’s trouble spots.

Thanks to Victor, I have learned new ways to challenge my body and have dropped a dress size. I look forward to our sessions together, and always have fun with him while he kicks my butt in a good way! If anyone can motivate me early in the morning, it is Victor and his mix of fun with intensely targeted sessions.

If you don’t like the way your legs or stomach or any other body part looks- tell Victor what you want to change and he will design a program around that area with smashing results!

Run, do not walk to your next workout with Victor as your personal trainer!
It is actually the first time I ever enjoyed a workout.
Victor's fresh approach has not only kept me interested but has motivated me toward my goals.

If he can motivate me, he can motivate anyone.

In only a short time being with him, he has not only met my expectation but exceeded them.

So what do you have to lose? Try Victor and you will see exactly what I am talking about.
I recommend him wholeheartedly.

"Victor is dependable, dedicated, and extremely capable. He has an unfailingly positive attitude, and he is a tenaciously goal-oriented person. I am confident that anyone who avails themselves of Victor's services will be very, very happy."

Sherry G. from Brooklyn, NY

Living in Brooklyn and working in Hoboken is a daily challenge which makes it difficult to find time to work out. So when I found out that my gym was in Hoboken I decided to work out during my lunch time. The first thing I did was sign up for an introductory fitness session where I met Victor. Since I had a few health concerns like arthritis of the neck/spine as well as double knee replacements, I had a lifetime of issues to overcome. First thing Victor did was access me and then customized a program just for me. Not only did he build my strength but he boosted my confidence as well. So now a year later I feel fit mentally and physically.

I am the kind of person that does not like to work out considering my physical issues, but I look forward to working with Victor. It is because of him that I go to the gym at all. Some exercises are difficult me but Victor is creative and supportive of my efforts that I feel good about myself. I strive to do better every time I go. I have never been this fit in my life.

Thanks to Victor I feel invincible.

He is very encouraging as well as professional, listening to any concerns I may have. I would recommend him to anyone who needs that extra push, he definitely motivates me to work harder to reach the fitness goals I desire.
