I started training with Stella on January 30, 2010 with the hopes of getting back into shape after gaining 13 pounds the last 7 months of 2009.  I had a trip to Mexico planned for March 18, 2010 with the hopes of getting into a decent shape before I had to get into a bathing suit!

Stella taught me how to eat healthy, monitoring my eating through a food diary and pushed as hard as she possibly could. The results- I dropped 10 pounds by March 16th  and was much leaner, stronger and felt confident to be in a bathing suit! I really enjoyed my vacation.

Thank you so much Stella!

 I have been working out with Stella for about 3 years.  She is very caring about you as a person—not just a client.  She always asks about your eating habits, sleep habits, outside activities—everything to help you achieve personal wellness.  She pushes you to your limits in exercise—she wants only the best. I have really seen a change in my muscle tone and outlook on life since I’ve been working out with Stella and would recommend her to anyone who is willing to work hard!

I have been a client of Stella’s for 4 weeks.  My body has already changed significantly enough for my mother to notice a difference in my muscle tone.  I would not have believed such results were possible in such a short time if I had not experienced the changes myself.  I have just signed up for 12 one hour sessions and am excited to see what I can accomplish in the next six weeks!

 I would recommend a personal trainer for any one who genuinely wants to make improvements to their health and appearance.  It is one of the best uses of my money I have made in a long time.

I have been training with Stella Monko for about 15 months now.  Prior to beginning my training sessions I had lost a considerable amount of weight by dieting; however, I needed to improve my cardio fitness and lower my body fat percentage.  Stella’s use of core body exercises and high repetitions has significantly improved my cardio fitness and endurance at age 52.  My fitness level is easily better than when I was in my 20s.  In several cases, she conducted research into specific training regimens focused on certain body parts.  As a result, she was able to improve areas that I wanted to focus on; such as adding over 1 inch to my arms over a 10-week period.  Stella routinely demonstrates a commitment to her clients and their overall health.  I have recommended her to several friends and my wife who have become clients and are as positive on Stella’s work ethic and professionalism as I am.  She is a credit to her profession and the company she represents.

I have been working with Stella Monko as my personal trainer twice a week for two months now.  She is a terrific trainer.  She tailored my workouts to suit my pace and goals she helps me to focus and become comfortable with the equipment.

She has taught me to be more conscious of the foods I eat and that walking the days off training will improve my endurance and contribute to my cardio health.  

Stella is very knowledgeable in her profession and continues to improve her knowledge with classes and keeps up to date with the latest trends in body exercise which she passes on to her clients.  She is dependable and assures that I have a strong beneficial workout without being extreme.  I always feel good at the end of the hour session. Stella gets the best and most out of me with humor and tenacity and her willingness to tailor the exercise to match my endurance. 

I am 63 years old and have never formally exercised in my life.  I believe that if I had any other trainer than Stella, I would have quit the sessions by now.  My goals are to gain more strength, balance and endurance.  If I happen to lose weight and inches that will be an added benefit.  In the short time that I have been training with Stella, I am beginning to see actual results.  I feel very fortunate to have found Stella and am grateful for her help.  She is truly wonderful in my book.

I started working out at the gym last year and thought it might be a good idea to work with a professional trainer who could put me on the right path. It was the right idea and I was very lucky to be assigned Stella Monko. She is a dedicated professional who is passionate about her work and your success. Work outs with her are intense sessions where she works with you to maximize your effort and the time you spend with her.

Thanks to Stella I am better than ever. Just going to the gym wasn’t working for me, I needed a personal trainer to organize a workout for me, challenge me, check my eating habits and motivate me to want to work hard. Stella’s knowledge of the body and how to transfer her skills appropriately to a 65 year old woman changed my life. I graduated from Stella to the exercise classes having gained the confidence and energy needed to keep up. From there I took up running and finished my first ½ marathon only a year after working with Stella. 18 lbs lost, 3 dress sizes lost, training for another marathon…Priceless.

Thank you Stella. It all started with you.
