I've been training with Ngo and his team for 3 years, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their dedication, expertise, and personalized approach have truly transformed my fitness journey.
From the outset, they took the time to understand my goals, limitations, and preferences. Ngo crafted a tailored workout plan that not only challenges me but also keeps me motivated and engaged. His deep knowledge of exercise science and nutrition has been invaluable in helping me make sustainable lifestyle changes.
What sets Ngo and his team apart are their unwavering support and encouragement. Their positive attitude and enthusiasm are contagious, making each session enjoyable and rewarding.
Thanks to their guidance, I've achieved significant progress in terms of strength, endurance, and confidence. I feel more energized, healthier, and empowered to tackle new challenges.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ngo and team to anyone looking to embark on a fitness journey or take their workouts to the next level.

Ngo is an exceptional leader and has assembled an outstanding team! During the pandemic, I had the pleasure of working with one of his trainers, Sean, through virtual sessions. Alongside Ngo's nutritional guidance, Sean played a pivotal role in helping me achieve my fitness objectives. Beyond his expertise, Sean's approachability and kindness made the training sessions enjoyable and effective, even in a virtual setting. I was truly impressed by the efficacy of our virtual workouts. I wholeheartedly recommend Ngo and his team to anyone eager to elevate their fitness journey!

Amazing space. Iconoclast is the perfect gym. It has everything you need, equipment, turn room, views of the park and even a sauna. Not to mention the trainers there are the best in the biz. Ngo, the owner, has been working with me since I moved to the city and though I've worked with other trainers and at other gyms, there is no replacing Ngo and Iconoclast!

I have trained with Ngo Okafor for about 15 years on and off ..mostly on. I’ve worked with him at five different gyms from when I first met him on 21st St till now when he owns his own gym on Fifth Avenue. Ngo is a superstar and inspirational figure, an amazing trainer, a close friend and sounding board and a great American success story. Ngo has a wonderful team at his gym and a super atmosphere. He and his team have totally changed peoples’ fitness, and also many of their attitudes towards life.

The absolute BEST. Not just the gym, but the trainers and the vibe as well! I always feel so confident of my body and what it can attain after working with my personal trainer there! Sean and Ngo are my top two favorite guys and will whip you into shape weather you like it or not. But you will like it! The results are undeniable. The vibe is unmatched.

My favorite gym!
When I was new to the city, finding a good place to work out was a struggle. Then I met Ngo, and my life changed!
Thanks to his 28-day body transformation program, I improved my health and achieved the shape I had been dreaming of!
Love this place!

I just finished playing a game of chase with my grandchildren. Hard to believe because I could only walk with a cane 5 months ago. I’m 73 years old and fell down steps breaking some bones. After months of physical therapy they told me I must walk with a cane get cortezone shots and soon a knee replacement. My daughter said call Ngo and workout twice a week virtually. In 5 months Ngo has me walking without a cane, climbing steps, loosing weight, and fitting into clothes I haven’t worn in years! I’m buying a bathing suit and a bike next so I can have a summer of fun! Ngo is not only encouraging but has treated me with such patience and respect.Im so glad I chose the NGO route!!!!

The gold standard of personal training. Welcoming atmosphere for you to push and get results. You'd think with how high profile the gym is the trainers wouldn't listen to your needs. I've worked with Sean and Ngo and they are focused on your every rep, they can even tell how hard to push you on a particular day. Sean never even checked his phone his attention is always on you. Very different than other places. Also, it's very much a family environment everybody really cares, the other clients doesn't matter how fit they are - they too - are welcoming. The results come easier than elsewhere because everything is taken care of for you to push, it's worth every penny.

What made this gym a great experience was its raw authenticity of the environment. No distractions or pretensions, just you, your trainer and the commitment to achieving results. The absence of fancy equipment and unnecessary frills allows you to focus solely on your workout, making every drop of sweat feel all that more rewarding. Even the occasional celebrity sighting didn’t sway you as when you walk through these doors you’re all after the same goal, to get to work.

If you are looking for a trainer to guide you through your workouts and help you achieve your goals, iconoclast is the best place for you. I don’t like the gym atmosphere but this is an exclusive space where you have one one one attention from your trainer and trainers that will make sure you are doing the right thing on each machine. Not only do they whip you into shape but they teach you the tools to keep up the work throughout your life. I highly recommend this space!

I’m a CSCS (certified strength & conditioning specialist), who started seeing clients at Iconoclast the first year it opened. With regards to the facility, it is open, airy, bright and well equipped with the tools I need. The comment most stated whenever I bring in a new client is, `Wow, it’s really clean, and has a great view.’ With regards to the staff, Ngo and his team are friendly, caring, knowledgeable and supportive. One look and you’ll see that they practice what they preach. Highly recommended.

Iconoclast is a wonderful gym with excellent trainers who are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The good vibes start as soon as you enter & continue through your workout. The gym is small and feels like a family as you always see the same faces, which I really like. It’s also laid out really well so everyone has more than enough space to get their work done without feeling crowded. I highly recommend Iconoclast to anyone who is looking to take their fitness to the next level in a pleasant environment.

I love the atmosphere at Iconoclast - everyone there (staff AND clients) is unfailingly positive and upbeat. The trainers, like Ngo, Emilio, Sherri, and Sean, have pushed me physically to generate noticeable improvements I haven't been able to achieve elsewhere. But my favorite part of Iconoclast is the intelligent, interesting conversations I have with my trainers during our sessions. Iconoclast trainers are smart enough to count my reps, improve my form, and discuss the latest streamers simultaneously. It makes the entire session much more engaging, and I actually look forward to seeing the Iconoclast team at 6 a.m. each day. There aren’t many gyms you can say that about, especially if you – like me – aren’t naturally anything remotely resembling a morning person.

Look no further if you are looking for results.
I am a middle aged woman experiencing weight gain and diagnosed with progressive osteoporosis (bone loss). I had issues in getting rid of stubborn muffin top on my sides overflowing, my arms being soft, and my stomach flab about 3 inches hanging over. I was soft all over with no tone. Apart from my doctors request to exercise to help my osteoporosis, I wanted a change and not let age or being out of shape get to me.
In the past i went to several celebrity and top rated trainers from LA to Hong Kong and did not see any major results. This time around i wanted a professional athlete who aims for results and had a set record. I chose Ngo Okafor for two main reasons: he is a professional golden box winner x2 and has a stellar attitude for results and no nonsense. I went to Iconoclast gym and visually vouched the result of the one man who underwent the 28 day transformation (i.e the one shown on the website). Seeing is believing and what a gorgeous body this man has. I immediately signed up for the 28 day day transformation with Ngo Okafor and saw results in 12 days. Overall i became toned and got down to a healthy weight with muscles in the right areas. Did i lose my flab? Yes i definitely got my stomach and waist in svelte form. I was extremely happy with what i achieved. It takes hard work and Ngo is one who pushes hard for your goals.
After a couple months I had to stop training given my father passed away and my mother had cancer and my world seemed to be caving in. During this intense time, the training Ngo gave me prepared me to deal with the trauma physically and mentally in such a positive way. Nothing in life prepares you for the loss but with this prior training it gave me stamina spiritually and physically. During and after the storm of my loss, Ngo was mentoring me. Presently, Ngo is still very much my mentor and personal trainer. I attend personal training every day now as part of my daily regime and as an investment on my body, mind and health. I decided to scale back on other vices and put it into something long term for not just looking good but for my health.
The Iconoclast gym is a gem hidden in Madison Square. Upon entering you feel the zen and the privacy it gives. There's a room for just weights, cardio machines, shower rooms, and stretch areas. I love especially the one room where you walk into a gorgeous green football field covering.
I believe in sharing wonderful things in life whether it be great restaurants, hero products, shows etc. This is one trainer i highly recommend. To this end, I want to thank truly Ngo for all he has done. Wei-Li
