What People Are Saying

  • Eight weeks ago, I made the decision to make my personal health and fitness a priority, and that decision is changing my life. I never imagined it would be possible to fit workouts into an already-busy schedule with two kids and a full-time career. Monica set my mind at ease and booked our appointment times to suit my schedule.Steacy Hinton
  • I find the small class sizes, inviting atmosphere, innovative routines and, of course, the great instruction makes for an experience that helps me to not only reach my fitness and weight loss goals, but feel good while doing it. I would recommend Monica to anyone looking to break-away from the “regular” and often monotonous gym experience. You won’t be disappointed!Lindsay Danko
  • They have an innovative strength-building system that can be customized to every individual regardless of their level of fitness. The trainers promote maximum results while following a system of exercises which are twinned with very unique equipment.Brenda Deryshire
  • Before our first training session, Monica shared her expertise on the equipment and explained how it worked. Because it was one-on-one training, I never felt pressured and with Monica’s help, I was able to push myself to levels I never thought I could achieve. After just one month I had gained more strength in my arms and legs than I thought possible. I can really see and feel the difference.Manuela Kerr
  • I had always wanted to be toned and fit; I worked out on my own but didn’t get the results I wanted. I dreaded the idea of going to a gym and honestly would have no idea where to begin… so I stayed away. Then I met Monica and Paul. They are knowledgeable, professional, encouraging and definitely results-driven. Since working with them, the results have been amazing!Laurie Graham
