Hi, my name is Monica. I've lived the life being a personal training client for 3 years, losing over 30 lbs, numerous inches and having run 4 marathons, a half marathon and a ton of 5Ks. I've lived the daily battles of getting up to work out, adjusted my nutrition and ultimately changed my life. Having being there, I know the emotional, physical and mental roller coaster that comes with being on a weight loss/self discovery journey. I WILL BE ON MATERNITY LEAVE FROM OCTOBER 1, 2021 to JANUARY 2022. I am not accepting new clients until then. All you need to do is take that first step to decide to make a change for the better, I promise to hold your hand the rest of the way through.

What to Expect

A fun, well rounded experience integrating fitness and nutrition for all training levels. I believe is functional total body training that combines strength, cardio, flexibility, power and agility. You will go home doing something new every day!

Client Success Story

I’ve been training with Monica since she started RB FIT last year in July.  I gave her a chance because I loved how even though she was new to training as a trainer, she understood more about my weight loss issues than any other trainer I had talked to.  Her compassion for knowing the battles I have had to deal, especially mentally is something that can’t be taught.  Her training style is fun and innovative.  We spent most of the summer months outside training and the winter months in this private gym that doesn’t intimidate me.  I have lost over 35 lbs since last year and have KEPT IT OFF.  Her nutrition plans are on point and my family of 6 loves them!  She understands the whole complicated journey that weight loss is, not just focused on one workout or exercise.  You get more than you could ever need on every level with Monica, don’t be fooled that having more experience is always better!  She will prove you wrong!

Monica is not only motivating, but she makes working out seem fun (even when it's really tough!). She has patience, is very knowledgeable about balance, how the muscles work, recovery, weightloss - just about everything you can think of when looking for a well rounded trainer. If you're looking for someone with knowledge, skills, and personality, Monica is your gal!

Monica is an amazing trainer! Every workout with her is not only fun but is also well aligned with my fitness and weight loss goals. I look forward to our sessions every week and would highly recommend her. I enjoy the variety and versatility of the workouts - boxing, HIIT, circuits, etc. Also, her nutrition advice and feedback has helped me see results. She's the total package!

I have been working out under Monica's guidance for just over one year. She is patient and kind, is respectful of different goals, and is a lot of fun to be around! She never disrespects me by pushing an agenda of her own, but uses her knowledge to help me reach greater levels of strength and mobility and health. I have struggled to get into any kind of regular workout routine for years, and Monica has helped me finally do it! With her help, I have had tremendous reduction in chronic pain symptoms and I notice being stronger and less prone to injury the longer I stick with her. I whole-heartedly recommend her!

I've been training with Monica for almost a year and a half now and it's truly been a wonderful experience. Monica is always incredibly thoughtful, funny, and encouraging. Monica approaches training from a really unique perspective, she changes workouts up so you never get bored (but there's always a pattern or reason for what she's doing that will overall impact your fitness levels!) We often switch it up from weights, to cardio, to HIIT, to kickboxing, Monica even created a fun training game based on Game of Throne (Game of Groans lol.) Her creativity is never ending and is great for those of you (like me) who may be bored easily with workouts.

The best part about Monica is how easy she is to communicate with and the care and concern she has for you as a client. An example, maybe you've been a little tired the last few weeks of training, feeling unable to do as much, Monica will sit and talk with you to see what's going on maybe in your life, or your diet, are you sleeping ok, let's figure out what might be going on with you so we can help you reach your fitness goals better. It's these personal things that really make training with Monica a truly unique experience, I can't recommend her enough, she's truly changed my life!

Through the past 2 years RB Fit has transformed my life to think about fitness and nutrition in a complete new light. Since being in top shape in high school and college, life happened and nutrition and fitness did not take top priority. After visiting my doctor 2 years ago, my levels of cholesterol were high and had high sugar counts. My family also has a history of heart problems.

When given a new nutrition plan and training from Monica, I not only have lost the weight I have also never been stronger and more confident. The best part of her meal plans is that they have the perfect balance and her recipes taste great. What is most impressive that in the gym she is a teacher and not a trainer who is constantly screaming at you. She tells you why what you are doing is important and breaks it down to the science. I have also joined her group sessions where experts and beginners can join the same session and still feel like they are getting 1-1 attention and a great workout. She listens to you and really understands what you need and sets a plan to get there. You can really tell she isn't in this for the money, she is in this to make a difference in people's lives. She really has in mine.

I would highly recommend her for training and nutrition.
