Personal Trainer in Murray Hill

Get Stronger. Get Fitter. Stay Capable. I’m Izzet — a personal trainer coaching Murray Hill residents out of Sports Lab NYC at 295 Madison Avenue. If you live in the neighbourhood, I’m a short walk away: an easy trip from the Park Avenue South and Third Avenue corridors, or the 6 train at 33rd and 28th. I coach adults who want to stay strong, conditioned, and physically capable for years. Training should improve your life, not take it over — so sessions are a focused hour, programmed around your schedule, your recovery, and your starting point. Whether you’re a former athlete or just starting out, your first session is free.

How it works

1. Free session — A real workout and an honest conversation about your goals. No pressure.
2. Your plan — Built around your week, your recovery, your experience, and any aches or old injuries.
3. Train — One focused hour at a time, on a schedule you can keep for years.

Who I coach in Murray Hill

• Young professionals in the walk-ups and towers who want efficient training before or after work.
• Parents fitting training around family life.
• Adults over 40 building and retaining capacity as they get older.
• Anyone returning to training after time off — or starting for the first time.

What clients say

“I met Izzet soon after the gyms opened back up during Covid. I’ve never been one that was interested in trainers, as I always felt they were too pushy or didn’t take the time to understand me or my needs. Izzet is the complete antithesis of what I described above. In fact, I approached him because I liked how he interacted with the clients he already had. He’s had a vast knowledge of the body and what works best with certain injuries, shortcomings, etc…I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is solid, consistent, supportive and can deliver results. He’s the best!” — Lara Rose “I’ve been training with Izzet for about 12 months. I started as a true weightlifting novice. Izzet really took the time to get to know me and understand my goals. Not only am I lifting significantly more weight then when I started, I’m also progressing in my form, technique, and mental fortitude. Izzet is excellent at distilling complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge and can teach the full spectrum of exercises – from the most basic movements to advanced Olympic lifts. Izzet is not someone who just goes through the motions. Izzet takes immense pride in his work, and puts a lot of thought into the workout plans. He is someone who has honed his craft over decades of experience. I really enjoy training with Izzet and I highly recommend him as a trainer and as an expert in his field.” — James N Read more client reviews.
