Fitness 101: Where do I find a great personal trainer in NYC?
If you want a no-holds-barred fitness regime that is tailored to you and will get you in whatever shape you most desire, go with
Angel Alicea.
Oh man, I've walked out of many a class of his, sore, exhausted and feeling great.
He's well versed in body dynamics, endurance and can smash like 15 boards with his hand in one shot (and my 9 month old daughter batted her eyes at him).
I had the privilege of training with the fitness and martial arts expert for several years when he was an instructor at the world headquarters of
Seido karate on 23rd st. in Manhattan.
His classes and fitness programs were some of the most challenging and effective. They are not for the faint of heart - you will get a workout - super rigorous mountain climbers, squats, bunny hops, frog march, boxer training, were all part of a single class - but always balanced with respect and generosity.
He has an innate sense of knowing just how far to push you so you are challenged, without toppling you over the edge.
A personal trainer and a martial artist
On top of this he is a karate champion and a great martial artist, trained in several styles from traditional karate to grappling and ground fighting.
You could (and should) take the opportunity and combine straight personal fitness with a self-defense program that really works.
Get him now, before some celebrity grabs him to get in shape.
