ACE Certified Personal Trainer
I began my personal training career in Toronto in the summer of 2018, and have loved this job ever since! I specialize in helping women achieve their optimal possible level of fitness - which includes a holistic approach focusing first on improving posture, balance, flexibility, and movement patterns, and then transitioning towards muscular strength & endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness.
My expectation of all of my clients is to fully commit to and trust the process of training, and to not sell themselves short when it comes to setting ambitious goals and persevering in the face of obstacles. As a trainer, it is my responsibility to ensure that you have the most seamless and customized fitness training experience possible - from email summaries of your sessions, to an exercises manual, a behavioral change plan, a periodized fitness program, a maintenance plan, and more, my clients have all the support they need to succeed at their goals.
If you are ambitious about your fitness goals and are committed to working with a trainer at this time, I’d love to work with you!!

I struggled a lot with recognizing my limits and abilities when going to the gym. I suffer from an autoimmune disorder and following fitness bloggers or generalized routines would often aggravate my arthritis or cause my illness to flare. Monica helped me recognize how to hold proper form and recognize which muscles should or should not be impacted with every movement I made. She was incredibly understanding of my condition and the sessions were very educational. She helped me build a routine that would allow me to accomplish my goals while reducing strain on my joints while improving posture and movement. This ultimately permitted me to find a long term plan that is realistic. The entire experience has improved my confidence at the gym and has brought me many steps forward to achieving my fitness goals.
Monica went ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations, creating personalized session summaries, helping me recognize my long term goals and keeping me motivated even after our sessions were complete.

Monica was my first ever personal trainer and I couldn't wish for better one. She has lots of knowledge and teached how to do exercises in a right way. From now on I'll always remember that not quantity, but quality of each exercise matters the most. I fell in love with training and it became my daily routine. In short period of time I already feel and see my first results and can't wait to see more. I think I'm in right path and only because Monica teached me so much and gave me guideline how to work out even when my personal trainings with her finished. Will be always grateful for that. 100% recommended!
I liked everything: clarity of instruction, dedicated personalized programming, knowledge, accountability and motivation, explanations, her emails, support, attention to details, flexibility, teaching how to do exercises right and that the most important is quality of every exercise, positive energy and smile made you not feel any discomfort.
