You know how New Yorkers are getting fatter, weaker, and more out of shape than ever? Well, they need to carve out personal time in their schedule and actually work out! I’m a personal trainer that gets people in the best shape of their lives!

Are you tired of going to the gym for years without seeing results? Feeling stuck despite pushing harder and getting injured all the time? I understand your frustration. I have spent years of my life training hard in the gym and making zero progress. Tired and frustrated, I decided to take a deep dive into sports adaptology - the science of how the human body actually adapts to sports activities. For the last 11 years, I have helped over 100 clients become the fittest version of themselves while enjoying their workouts and fixing injuries.
If you want to try personal training and not sure what it entails - my process is really simple.

1. We schedule a quick 15 minute zoom meeting where I ask you about your goals, health and injury history, and answer all of your questions.

2. We set up a complementary 1 hour training session where you get to experience my training style.

3. If you enjoy our training together, we set up a regular training schedule based on your budget and availability.

   Stop wasting your precious time being stuck, frustrated and hurt. Let a real expert guide you to actual results!

My story

Hi! My name is Shamil, I go by Sam to make it easier on my American friends:) I was born in Dagestan, Russia, where people start wrestling around the same time they learn how to walk. I was not one of those people, but I did finally come to wrestling practice at an old age of 11, where I have gotten rag dolled and thrown around the room by every kid my age. I couldn’t keep up - I understood the techniques being taught, but I just wasn’t strong enough to compete.

At the age of 15, my family and I have emigrated to the United States to the capital of the world - New York City. We settled in Brooklyn and I became obsessed with martial arts and strength sports. I trained in hand-to-hand combat, soccer, judo, powerlifting, bodybuilding, boxing, Muay Thai, jiu jitsu, and MMA. After more than 20 years of training experience, and over 11 years of personal training experience, I was able to accumulate a great amount of theoretical knowledge and implement the most effective training protocols to help guide my clients into becoming the fittest version of themselves. I am thrilled to share my expertise with the world!
