I am a personal trainer and motivation expert specializing in body transformation. Based in New York, I work with incredible clients including Brooke Shields, Naomi Campbell, Chanel Iman, Mariska Hartigay, Iman, Jennifer Lopez, and more. 

I know what it takes to set goals for yourself that other people tell you are impossible. I know how to crush those goals beyond expectations and transform your health, your body, and your life. How? Because I have done it myself, several times. I have also transformed the bodies and minds of over a hundered clients.

When I was growing up in Nigeria, I suffered from chronic recurrent respiratory illnesses. There were times that I was so frail that I couldn’t walk. I spent countless days sick and bedridden. At age 13, after an experimental treatment proved successful, I was able to finally start to heal--and live fully. 

While I started my life as physically the weakest, skinniest kid, I eventually built my body to became how I saw myself, in my mind. Strong beyond measure. It was fitness and my laser-focused mental determination that helped me transform myself physically, but also in other ways too. I was admitted to college at the early age of 15 in Nigeria. I came to the U.S. at the age of 18 and returned to college. I had a successful career in IT for many years, but a side gig as a model took off. Then, after people began asking me how I achieved my body, my career as a trainer began. After picking up boxing at the advanced age for the sport, 31, I won the Golden Gloves Boxing Championship in back-to-back years, 2008 and 2009. My gym, Iconoclast Fitness on 5th avenue in NYC, was founded in 2018.

How My Method Works 

New clients often come to me after they have tried everything, other workouts, trainers and diets, and they say “This is what I’ve been looking for!” My method is their tipping point. I know how to achieve what other trainers can’t. 

My own life experience allows me to see untapped possibilities and paths to success for my clients. They know that I walk the walk myself every day. This life. This health. This body. I have worked for all of it. And I can teach you to do the same. 

My customized workouts are based in science to help you rapidly achieve the body you want. These are paired with my understanding of how to get clients to commit, work, and believe in themselves. Through work with visualization, goal setting, time management, optimum nutrition, breaking through limitations, embracing sacrifice and adopting new behaviors, I help build my clients up and make them stronger mentally, so they can do anything. New clients often come to me after they have other training and nutrition programs, without achieving the resukts they seek.

I work with clients one-on-one virtually or in-person at my gym. To reach more clients and help more people achieve their own transformation, I have developed several online workout options designed to help you on your own time. I also offer 7, 14, and 28 day body transformation programs, combining diet and exercise available on my site. Ready to get going right now?

Ngo is frequently quoted as a fitness expert in publications as varied as Elle, Glamour, O-The Oprah Magazine, Men’s Health, and is often a guest on television programs like Good Day New York on Fox 5. He’s earned this loyal following by espousing a fitness belief that the mind is the most important muscle a person needs to develop. “I believe that the body is a slave to our minds and will do anything we tell it to do”. Ngo further says “when I decided to enter the Golden Gloves tournament at the age of 31, my friends laughed at me, people in the boxing gym laughed at me, but I believed in myself. None of them are laughing now.”
