I used to have severe knee pain from running and short of surgery nothing seemed to help the pain: acupuncture, NSAIDS, knee bands, wraps, warm compress, cold compress, elevation. Nothing helped my pain. I was a running hypochondriac. I was sure I had knee cancer!

I signed up for personal training with Monique after seeing a sports medicine MD who told me to try strenghtening my quad muscles.  When I went to Mo, I didn't have a lot of expectations. I thought, "why not". It was like taking another useless  Motrin. You take it knowing it wasn't really gonna work. Boy was I wrong. Training with Monique has been my salvation! As a trainer, Mo is dynamic, tough and goal-oriented. She customized my exercise routine so I didn't just focus on my quads but my entire core and upper body. She also taught me how to read those confusing labels in every wrapped food item.  Oh so 20G of

fat is not such a great idea?

Don't take this wrong but during workouts she's not your best friend.  She's funny but she will make you work. If you expect a wimpy session with 3-minute cardio and 7 minute abs, you're in for a surprise. There's a written exercise plan and she makes you follow it. She will stay with you  the whole hour and will not leave you even for a minute so there's no way you can cheat yourself out of a great workout. The best part is, every session is defferent from the last because she adds variety to the sessions and makes it fun! She's also great at answering phone calls and texts. She's very approachable.

Long story short, I don't think I have knee cancer anymore. I tossed my knee bands out, I have way better balance and speed, strong quads, and no more knee pain.

Monique has a wonderful training program.  She understands her clients needs and really tries to get them to push themselves to levels they never new they could achieve.

Mercy, you are a sweetheart. Thanks so much for the compliments. I'd like everyone reading this to know Mercy stuck to the program, and did the work herself. I just was there to guide her. Mercy is already a disciplined individual, so training her was quite a delight for me. Looking at Mercy you'd think she was already as fit as she could be, it just goes to show we all have a goal to reach.

Thanks again, Monique
