"Monica has been my personal trainer for 8 years. I am 76 years old and not motivated to exercise on my own. Having Monica come to my house keeps me on track. She has tailored my training to benefit my specific needs and abilities. During the Covid19 lock down, she was proactive in getting my set up on Zoom so the momentum was not lost. I am very grateful to have Monica in my life."

“Monica’s classes were enthusiastically referred to me by my stepdaughter, who is the Activity Director at another retirement community. At first we started with classes every other week, but very soon we had her coming weekly due to the great turnout/participation by our residents. Monica’s class is upbeat and fun due to her encouragement and lively personality. After class, residents are more upbeat and the social interaction is great! We have it in our main lobby. When visitors arrive, they see what an active retirement community is all about. As Activity Director, it is my favorite activity!”

“Monica is so enthusiastic and committed to making the class a good workout. She is equally committed to making it a fun experience - she frequently reminds us that ‘we are not performing brain surgery’ and it doesn't matter if we are moving in a different direction as long as we are moving. She also has taught the class things I have been able to use when exercising at my fitness center. She emphasizes techniques for movement to avoid injury and to get the most out of the routine. But, above all, it is so much fun it I often forget I am also getting a great workout!”
