What a rockstar. The perfect blend of discipline, friendliness and, ultimately, results. Iosif kicked my butt into shape and I decided to stick with him for the fun of it. You won’t be disappointed.

I have been training with Joseph to get in a better shape before my wedding. I continued working with him after giving birth. Joseph was able to get me in a terrific shape! He taught me how to stay consistent to achieve results and get stronger. Also, his classes are fun-he keeps you motivated and pushes to work harder while occasionally throwing in a joke or two:)

How did you get started teaching?
I’ve always been passionate about health, fitness, and helping people become the strongest version of themselves. With over a decade of experience in the industry, I started as a personal trainer because I saw how confusing and overwhelming fitness can be—especially for busy professionals who don’t have time to figure out what works and what doesn’t.
I founded iBSmartFitness with a simple mission: to provide science-based, results-driven training that eliminates guesswork and delivers real, sustainable results. Over the years, I’ve built a team of top-tier trainers who share my commitment to personalized coaching, ensuring every client gets the expert guidance they need to look, feel, and perform their best.
Fitness should be straightforward, effective, and tailored to your lifestyle—that’s exactly what we do at iBSmartFitness.
What types of students have you worked with?
We work with people of all ages, sexes, colors and fitness levels. From lawyers to cops, delegates to arabic sheeks i always find a common language with everyone and work my hardest to help them!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I have this client of mine that began this September who totally dedicated herself to my program and change her eating habits to whip herself back into shape. 3 months later shes 20lbs lighter and stronger then ever!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Remeber that just hiring a trainer doesn't automatically promise results. You have to work hard for your results. Our job is to help and guide you there and if you give me 100% ill give you 120% back!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are my goals (getting lean is only scratching the surface)?
How much am i willing to change my diet?
What will i do on my days without a trainer?
How are we measuring progress?
What are the best type of workouts for me?
