"Perfect! Anne is a gem!"
Eileen Silverstein, NYC

"I look forward to attending Anne's class at the YMCA every Wednesday.I don't have the discipline to work out sufficiently by myself; in her class I push myself to keep up, and more. Moreover, the class is fun. Anne never does the same thing in the same way twice. She is always changing the order and content and the beat or rhythm never flags. I don't know how she does it, but after months of taking this class I still look forward to it. And I feel great after class."

Personal Training Testimonials

"After a year working with Anne, I am stronger, leaner and more toned.
I am also less of a klutz in everyday life, and I feel more confident and at home in my skin. Anne is a natural and patient teacher, and she pays close attention to body signals, knowing when I should be pushed for a few more reps and when I need a break. What I enjoy most about her workouts is that she keeps things fresh, introducing new moves and new equipment. As an added bonus, Anne is witty and well-informed--I never knew I could enjoy conversations at 6.30 am. And she has convinced my husband that soy chips are delicious. Enough said."
Kristen T.

"I have known Anne in the capacity of knowledgeable Osteoporosis lecturer,valuable YMCA instructor, dedicated and caring personal trainer and ultimately as a fine human being genuinely interested in enhancing one's life. Anne is most supportive and resourceful in my battle against osteoporosis, intellectually, physically, and nutritionally. Her positive and caring approach are wonderful attributes in the improvement of my total being."
J.D. Filippo, PH.D
