Mon’s Success Stories

I am thrilled to share my testimonial for Mon, my incredible Personal Trainer who has been instrumental in helping me achieve my fitness goals. Mon’s careful guidance and focus on preventing injuries while teaching me the correct form gave me a solid foundation for my weightlifting skills. From having little experience, I now feel confident enough to sustain my workout routine. Mon’s expertise and dedication are unmatched, and I am grateful for his positive impact on my fitness journey.

Mon has been my trainer since 2015. I like working with him because he makes me do stuff I would not do on my own in the gym. In other words, he pushes me to push myself (while taking care not to beat me up too much). This was especially important after a couple of surgeries requiring much recovery time. Mon helped me recover. This was also true after the gym shut down during the pandemic. I let things go in those months, so bouncing back was not easy, but it was possible by training with Mon. While training with Mon is always a challenge, it’s a good challenge, enjoyable, and the time flies by nearly every time.

Mon is a professional. He is all about his clients, and their well-being; He will teach you how to perform all the exercises correctly, so you do them properly and without injury. He genuinely takes an interest in his clients’ well-being and helps them reach their goals. He does that by listening and communicating with you, continuously reinforcing how you will accomplish the activity to get the best results as you perform each exercise. He watches you as you do each exercise he assigns and tirelessly corrects mistakes and bad habits we have learned in our youth. If you have any injury or pain, he will adjust the activities he has preplanned and helps you with different movements to ease any discomfort you might be experiencing. He knows your limits and will never push you past them. I would strongly recommend him to anyone, young or old. His understanding of the human body and how it works will help anyone, regardless of age and fitness goals. Everybody needs to experience him and what he brings to their fitness goals.

Mon has been my trainer for 12 years, and I’m in the best shape of my life, even now at 61. I’ve built strength and endurance thanks to his coaching and guidance. He’s a stickler for proper form, so while I regularly lift heavy, I’ve never gotten hurt by overdoing or using poor form. Mon never sees me as an older woman who needs to go easy. He challenges me and has helped me believe in my capability. I’m so grateful for my progress, and I owe it all to Mon

Mon is a terrific trainer. He pushes me when I think I can’t. He brings out the best in me. I can’t say enough. He has brought me a long way from where we started. He is understanding, and I am grateful to have him as a trainer. He is exceptional!

Mon is a great trainer. I have done things I never thought I could do with his help.

I have tried many times in my life to start an exercise regimen, and it never lasted longer than a month (often less than two weeks). I came into RWJ on a whim one day and began a trial period with Mon. It’s been over a year now with Mon as my trainer, and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since high school. Mon has the perfect mix of encouragement, support, and drive to keep me exercising regularly and push me past where I thought I would go. I would have given up a long time ago without his help.

Mon is the best! He motivates me to push myself outside my fitness comfort zone, and he also makes it fun! If you want to build muscle, burn fat, and laugh all the while, Mon is the personal trainer for you. I can’t thank him enough for the results I’ve seen in the year since I started training with him. I’m excited for more results to come. Every session is unique. He is genuinely interested in knowing what I want to work on and how to help me achieve the results I seek. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been in my life. It is all thanks to Mon.

My trainer, Mon, has helped me reduce my back pain. He reassures me I can do certain exercises that I would never try on my own. He is patient and cares about helping me get healthier. I actually come to the Center and work out on my own, which I never thought would happen. Mon is a great guy. He is very passionate about helping his clients become a better version of yourself. I am lucky to have his help on this journey.

I have not done any personal training or exercise in many years. Rheumatoid arthritis always was my excuse. With encouragement from a friend, and a referral to Mon, I decided to try it. Mon has shown much patience, yet firmness, in helping me progress each week. The stretching has been great and, admittedly, the sweating as well. I am determined to become a stronger older person. Mon has given me the confidence and workouts to make this possible. I already feel the physical and mental improvements. I am very grateful to Mon.

Since I started training with Mon, he has been professional and knowledgeable. He challenges me. Mon helps me accomplish things I never saw myself doing. I have seen positive changes in my body and overall health. I am excited to continue training with him to see where this goes. He holds me accountable and keeps the workouts fun. If something does not work for me, Mon finds a new solution to help me achieve my goals.

I have been working with Mon for a year and a half. It has been a great partnership. As an older senior citizen Center member, he has encouraged me to attempt new workouts. He reminds me that a lot of my capabilities are determined in my head! This encouragement has challenged me in a positive manner. I am the strongest I have ever been. I am eager to continue this fitness journey with Mon.

I have been training with Mon for about 9 months and I am very pleased with his service & professionalism. Prior to becoming a client, I had a job that required travel about 75% of the time which put a lot of stress on my mind and body. As typical with traveling and working on a laptop all day, I was experiencing daily neck, shoulder and back discomfort.

Once I began weight training with Mon, this discomfort virtually disappeared. I am now able to sleep comfortably and relieve my stress and pain through stretching and working out. I also changed my body fat composition from 30% to 21% in the first 6 months without any type of restrictive dieting or painful workouts.

One of the best parts of training with Mon is, it’s actually fun. I train 3 days a week and always look forward to our sessions and feel better after. He is very down to earth and truly cares about his clients. In our day to day activities, it feels like we always make time to care for others but we neglect our own well-being. I highly recommend taking a little time to give yourself that same care and treat yourself with the gift of personal training with Mon, you deserve it!

My wife and I started training with Ramoncito (“Mon” to his friends) about four years ago. We continue to benefit from his mastery of fitness training. He intuitively knows which body part needs which particular exercise. He delivers a holistic and varied training regimen, which has improved our aerobic fitness, strength, core, balance, and flexibility. His ability to motivate is Mon’s greatest strength. Now, we routinely do exercises we previously considered impossible. Each session is different, which keeps it interesting. He maps out a longer term program to accomplish fitness goals. We never would have made such progress without his expert guidance and encouragement.

I’ve been training with Mon for a little over two years. He is an extraordinary trainer: professional, dedicated, enthusiastic, and fun. I always hated exercise. Remarkably, I keep coming back to the Center for training sessions with Mon because I know it’s doing me good–mentally and physically. In fact, I actually look forward to working out with Mon. Last year, I had arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder. The outcome was not as I hoped. However, Mon helped me strengthen my shoulder and increase my range-of-motion. He encourages me to set challenging goals. He cajoles, encourages, and coaches me to accomplish them. Then, we set new goals that are even tougher! Mon also helps me with my new venture in ballroom dancing. Ballroom dancing (even my somewhat crude version of it) requires good posture, core strength, balance, and coordination– all of which Mon helps me achieve. I am fortunate he is my trainer.
