About Hasan

Born in Istanbul, Turkey, Hasan Ozkan. 
After being a decorated swimmer in my native land of Turkey, where I won Nationals in the 50 m and 100 m Freestyle, I decided to acquire deeper knowledge of the human body and training. Upon completing a four-year degree in sports science at the University of Marmara, I got myself certified as a personal trainer. For the last 10 years, I worked with great success as a coach in Istanbul, before settling in NY in 2021.
My specialty is corrective exercises to rid people of pain, brought on by muscular imbalances. I've improved myself in this scope in the course of my recovery due to my past injury. I had a bad accident when I was 14 years old and had to get my lateral meniscus removed which caused me further problems later in my life. 15 years later I had to have another 2 operations to replace the meniscus that I lost with a synthetic meniscus. Ever since I am getting progress every day. This injury led me to acquire a huge knowledge about rehab after surgery, corrective exercises, and improving postural imbalances. 
Everybody is different and has different needs when it comes to training. It is crucial to pursue a workout plan based on your posture, age, background in fitness, physical condition, etc. If there are muscle imbalances that cause postural distortion (most of the time there are) your plan should include some corrective exercises to fix it in order to workout more efficiently and pain-free.
