Testimonials

“Mona's science-based approach gave me confidence. My bone scan improved after six months!” — Cassie Harnett, age 63

"I used to think the whole idea of weight training was daunting. Working with Mona has changed that. She picks my weights and exercises -- always making sure that I work hard, but not too hard, always commenting on my form, making sure that I do it right. Every session, I do a little more. I feel like I am really doing something good for myself. I feel stronger and have more energy too. I am less afraid of aging.  --Marcy Dermansky, age 56

“Mona’s training has changed the way I look at aging. I feel stronger now than I did in my 30s.”  — Stan Finkelstein, age 55
