"I've been working with Moni for years. She is sweet, smart, and has a smile that reaches my inner core."

Cheryl Tiegs 

Monica Nelson is an angel. When we are working out and I think I have no more to give, she just sends her good energy my way and I get the job done. She is sweet, smart, and has a smile that reaches my inner core. Her goodness and strength get me through many tough, grueling workouts. I also enjoy all her recipes and nutrition guidance.

Working with Monica has been an amazing experience. For over a decade, she has been able to persuade me to keep up my weekly workouts. Each visit is interesting and engaging and her encouragement is never ending.

"During every session, she listens to my concerns and adapts each training to be exactly what I need. She helps me to strengthen my core and build my muscle tone."

Howard Lee

retiree, california

I have been working out online remotely once a week with Monica for 4 months. At 75, although active, I hoped for better balance and an increase in muscle strength. However, I have been amazed at my increase in energy and stamina, as well as strength and balance.

"If you want to feel miraculously better in a few months with reasonable effort, I highly recommend bringing Monica into your life."

Sally Nicholson

textile artist and fashion designer

We both have been working with Monica for many years and have definitely increased our strength. She has taught us the importance of strength training and how it can very successfully be done is just 30 mins.

"We hadn’t done traditional working out before. Monica makes our sessions fun while being carefully programmed to be gentle on the body yet very effective. We are stronger in our 80's, thanks to Monica."
