Originally from Eastern Europe, Stan spent 10 years practicing gymnastics, then took on body-building competitions. Though he studied communication systems in his home country, he ultimately moved to the United States in 2010 to pursue his passion, which "was always fitness."
After taking classes at the National Academy of Sports Medicine, Stan became certified in personal training. Five years ago, he began his next chapter at Equinox in Greenwich Village, where he met Andy the following year after training Cohen's friend, Pablo. "I have my own style, the way I train clients, and my training routine [for Andy] is a lot of supersets," Stan told us. "I combine a lot of weights with the body weight; meaning, let's say we do chest and back, we'll do jumping jacks in between. Or crunches. Some exercise that keeps your heart rate always elevated."
