Being a fitness enthusiast since his early years helped Aytug(i2) stay connected with recreational fitness activities during his years in the corporate world. As a graduate of ITU (Istanbul Technical University) with a BS degree in Industrial Engineering, he started his career in export sales. His professional journey continued in the field of sales & marketing and import businesses.
He was later presented with the opportunity to be exposed to different cultures in the East and South East Asia. These experiences opened new chapters of athletic challenges in his life, which led him to a blackbelt in aikido and a PADI Master Freediver certification in freediving.
Believing in the importance of having a healthy and active lifestyle developed into a passion to pursue a professional path in health & fitness field. After New York became his new home, following years in Asia, Aytug founded i2PT LLC to provide personal training services as a NASM certified personal trainer.
He believes his true mission is not only to help his clients achieve their fitness goals with customized exercise programs but explain the benefits of regular exercise, such as minimizing effects of aging, stress reduction and prevention of chronic health problems.
