Testimonials

Kind words from the people we work with.

Rachel Savage, Natural Bodybuilder

"Ian is a wonderful coach. He gives excellent mind-muscle cues, clearly and accessibly communicates his extensive knowledge of anatomy and body mechanics, and knows exactly when and how hard to push you. Since training with him, my performance has leveled up significantly thanks to his thoughtful program design and ongoing instruction. I would be thrilled to recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer."

Josh Spokes, Competitive Cyclist

"I had the pleasure of working with Ian while preparing for a multi-day bike race this summer. We met before fully engaging to discuss the demands of the event, my time constraints, and how I imagined my preparation going. Within a few days, Ian provided a highly detailed strength training program that matched everything I was looking for , in addition to a nutrition guideline with recipe recommendations.

Sticking to the program was tough between cycling workouts, but I was able to stick to it, which speaks to the precise nature of his planning. I truly felt the workouts made a huge difference in my performance at the race. My fatigue was less than I was expecting and I finished the race feeling like I had truly put my best performance out there. I only wish that I had begun working with Ian earlier so that I got in more of the prescribed workouts before the race."

I'm Ian Kibria. In December 2020, I started my journey in the dynamic world of ITF Taekwondo. Within a year, I lost 50lbs and went from an adult beginner with shaky legs to training alongside Team USA. Along the way, I had invasive abdominal surgery that kept me from competing. In this time I traveled across South America, rebuilding my strength through calisthenics, trekking in the restorative power of nature, and intense mobility training. I recovered at an unprecedented rate true to the final tenet of Taekwondo: indomitable spirit.
