ABOUT US
Unparalleled care and expertise.
Why apex human performance?
1. EDUCATION & EXPERTISE YOU CAN TRUST
Personal training certifications provide the illusion of competence, education, and experience — which are all important when choosing the right person to entrust with your health and fitness. Unfortunately, most consumers don’t even know to ask about their personal trainer’s educational background.
2. TOTAL BODY CARE
Bringing all of the pieces together to manage your health and fitness isn’t easy. From exercising correctly; to treating and preventing aches, pains, and injuries; to ensuring what you eat not only helps you live longer, but better as well, is a daunting task.
Firstly, because each of these areas is a specific discipline: Personal Training, Physical Therapy & Nutrition.
Secondly, because these services have a high bio-individuality quotient, which requires proper testing and benchmarking, so that the solutions are customized for each individual.
And thirdly, because these services are usually provided in an unorchestrated fashion from individual sole practitioners who do not communicate with each other or coordinate plans for their clients.
3. A frictionless concierge experience
Most health and fitness services not only keep clients beholden to a sole practitioner and his or her schedule, but do not offer any level of care outside of scheduling appointments.
Our team
Andrew Malkiel
Owner
Andrew is both a Nutritionist and Strength and Conditioning Coach with over a decade of experience in Exercise Science, Sports Nutrition, Fat Loss, and Competitive Bodybuilding. Andrew specializes in bridging the gap between nutrition and exercise using established scientific principles and the latest clinical research.
Having pushed his body as a professional fitness model (Wilhelmina) and winning a national bodybuilding title (NPC), Andrew combines his applied knowledge and experience with his postgraduate education, where he earned a Master’s of Science in Nutrition. Prior to his Master’s, Andrew earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Physiology.
While Andrew has worked with celebrities and Division 1 athletes, his approach remains the same regardless of a client’s career: understanding his client’s bio-individuality through clinical-level assessment and creating a game plan backed by established science and evidence-based research.
A native New Yorker, Andrew lives in Manhattan and enjoys strength training, international travel, and frequenting celebrated sushi restaurants.
Nadeen Baumy
Performance Coach
Nadeen’s work at Apex is built on the technical foundation of her Master’s in Exercise Physiology from Hofstra University. She specializes in taking complex data, such as metabolic testing, gait analysis, and bio-mechanical assessments, and turning it into a practical training plan. For her, the goal is not just a better number on a screen, but ensuring her clients move better and stay resilient over the long term.
Beyond the data, Nadeen understands the friction high-achieving New Yorkers face when trying to stay consistent. She has a keen intuition for her clients’ mental and physical states, allowing her to adjust programming in real-time to ensure they stay on track. She knows firsthand the discipline it takes to perform under pressure, having pushed through the mental and physical demands of several marathons.
This mix of clinical knowledge and personal grit helps her identify exactly what a client needs to get from where they are to where they want to be.
Personally, Nadeen emulates the same hybrid approach to training that she achieves with her clients by balancing the demands of long-distance running with a dedicated lifting program. When she isn’t training, she is usually exploring the city with friends.
Ganlandou Cisse
Performance Coach
Ganlandou is a corrective exercise and performance enhancement specialist with six years of experience helping clients build strength, improve mobility, and move pain-free.
As a former D1 collegiate basketball athlete, Ganlandou understands the physical demands placed on the body and the importance of structured, progressive training. He earned both his bachelor’s degree in Sports Science and his master’s degree in Exercise Science from LIU Brooklyn. He also served as a Graduate Assistant in Strength and Conditioning at St. John’s University where he earned another master’s degree in Sport Management.
Ganlandou works with various clients ranging from athletes to general population. His programs emphasize detailed assessments, movement quality, flexibility development, and measurable strength progress.
Outside of training, Ganlandou enjoys cooking and spending quality time with his family.
