Bio:

Ngo Okafor is a two-time Golden Gloves boxing champion and Owner/ Founder of Iconoclast Fitness, a private training facility on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue where celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Brooke Shields, Chelsea Clinton, Ralph Fiennes, John David Washington, and Danny Meyer get in their workouts. Ngo is also the creator of “28 Days Greater”, a training and nutrition methodology that helps people lose up to 25 pounds in 28 days. A Nigerian immigrant, Ngo came to the United States with no professional network or net worth, but through hard work, mental toughness, and consistency built himself into one of the most sought-after personal trainers in America. After a childhood marked by bedridden days in Nigeria, Ngo vowed to make up for lost time. He gained admission to college in Nigeria, at the age of 15. At 18, Ngo moved to the United States, alone, to study computer science and subsequently worked as an IT Specialist. At the relatively advanced age of 31 (an age that most boxers begin to retire), Ngo picked up boxing and within 3 years, he won two Golden Gloves National Championship titles, back-to- back. Using the same laser-sharp focus, Ngo established his personal training business, creating a model others would envy and earning accolades like the one from New York Post anointing him one of “New York’s hottest trainers whipping beautiful people into shape.” Those beautiful people include Naomi Campbell, Julia Roberts, Iman, Kahlana Barfield Brown, and Chanel Iman. Ngo has gained this loyal following by espousing a fitness belief that the mind is the most important muscle a person needs to develop. “The body is a slave to the mind and will do anything the mind tells it to do,” he says. Ngo is frequently quoted in publications as varied as Elle, Oprah Magazine, Men’s Health, Women’s Health, and Glamour, and is often a guest on television programs like The Today Show, Good Morning America, and Good Day New York. Ngo still models when he can fit it in, having appeared alongside the likes of Gisele Bundchen and Mary J. Blige in magazines such as Vogue, W, V, and WSJ. Despite all this, Ngo says his greatest accomplishment is being a devoted family man. He’s a husband and father to two beautiful children, Chioma, 9, and Amara, 5.
