Testimonials

Five green stars representing a five-star clientreview for Pilates and personal training at Fit Monkeys.
When my mom started with Kelly at 77, she was depressed, in a lot of pain, and unable to get around without a walker. Her back was curved from osteoporosis and lack of muscles, she couldn't go to the grocery store or manage housekeeping, and surgery wasn't an option because her bones were too weak. She had never exercised before, but she began seeking Kelly twice a week and they began slowly. Now at 80, she no longer needs a walker, can get out of the cat without assistance, stand much straighter, and go grocery shopping again...Kelly gave me back my mom.

Denise is an exceptional trainer who I've had the opprotunity to train with for almost one year. She has helped me with my goals of gaining overall strength and fitness in my forties. Her workouts are always challenging, fun, and full of variety to target different muscle groups and help build my endurance...I highgly recommend and give 10 stars! It is the best gift you can give yourself.

I have been training with Kelly at Fit Monkeys for over 6 years now, and I'm so very thankful to have been referred to her! I began training with her when I was pregnant, with the goal of staying in shape and strengthening. Kelly is so incredibly knowledgable, compassionate, and patient- I immediately felt comfortable working with her.
