Ngo Okafor

Owner/Founder

A father of two, Ngo Okafor is also the owner/founder of Iconoclast Fitness Studio, New York’s premier personal training gym, the place where the city’s elite come to break a sweat. Known for a mental toughness that borders on superhuman, Ngo overcame a childhood bedridden in Nigeria to take up boxing at the relatively advanced age of 31—and then win the Golden Gloves Championship two years in a row.

The Ngo Effect is his process of instilling the same drive and determination in clients, Any personal trainer can give you a workout routine to follow. What makes Ngo different—and the reason he’s one of New York’s most in-demand trainers—is that he strengthens your mental toughness, at the same time you’re strengthening your biceps. Ngo teaches clients a winning mindset, pushing them to be better versions of themselves.

Ngo believes that once the mind is locked in, the body has no choice but to follow. His workouts are simple, but not easy. Effective, but not complicated. His results are nothing short of awe-inspiring. Harnessing the power of the mind to transform the body—that is the Ngo Effect.

The results from The Ngo Effect lead the New York Post to name him one of New York’s “hottest trainers whipping beautiful people into shape.” Those beautiful people include Jennifer Lopez, Brooke Shields, Mariska Hargitay, Naomi Campbell, and Wes Gordon, creative director of Carolina Herrera. Now, building on the success of his 28 Days Greater body transformation program, Ngo is introducing a monthly subscription service to allow those who can’t get to New York the chance to experience the Ngo Effect at home.
