“Ilona is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm she has at every session. Her easy going, friendly personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. She makes each workout challenging, creative and most importantly, fun! I have new energy, I’ve gone from a size 14 to a 4, and healthy eating has become a way of life for me all because I met Ilona. Over the past few years, Ilona has done a lot more than just teach me how to workout and eat healthy she has motivated me to become a person that I didn’t know I could be. She has taught me that exercise is an important part of my life and more importantly…that it’s okay to have dessert every once in a while.”

“I really enjoy my workouts with Ilona. She challenges me, but at the same time knows how hard to push. She has great energy and is just a terrific person overall. She mixes up our workouts and introduces me to new concepts (drop sets, pyramids, ball exercises …) so that I can continue to make progress. I really liked that she herself had worked very hard on losing fat and gaining muscle – so she could really relate to what I was looking to accomplish.”

-Denise Hopkins

“I was stuck at a certain weight and in 4 weeks (two 1-hour sessions each week), I have lost almost 3 pounds (body fat was 20.42% and is now 17.23%) and several inches altogether. And I’m having fun doing it! She makes me laugh while my quads are trembling on the Bosu Ball! I look forward to her coming to my house, bringing her gym equipment (which isn’t much- you might already have this stuff in your house) and pushing me and making me believe in myself. She also has given me new exercises to do and ensures I’m doing them properly. Ilona knows the mechanics of the body inside and out. Because she competes, she knows how to get there quickly (if that’s what you want). And she knows how to do it gradually but still get results quickly. She’s also got a great personality and can adapt to anyone. She made me a believer in myself!”

“Working out with Ilona twice a week is a gift I give to myself. At 44 years old fitness had never been important to me. I didn’t seek out personal training but I enjoyed talking with Ilona and often remarked about my lack of energy. She offered to meet with me to see what we could do about that. We talked a great deal about the importance of good nutrition but once the subject of personal training came up I had a list of excuses: I have a sore lower back that can’t be strained, I have a prolapsed uterus so I couldn’t lift anything more than 15 pounds and perhaps the biggest obstacle was that I simply didn’t think I could workout for an entire hour. Somehow, Ilona got me from there to here and I am grateful. As for as my excuses, my back has never felt better and my doctor says there has been significant improvement with my prolapse which will very likely spare me a hysterectomy in the future.”

“Ilona is a breath of fresh air from the typical gym trainer. You will never be bored, she switches up the routine to take you to the next level to see better results, and most important to not be bored. She gives you all the tools you need to change your lifestyle and she is with you every step of the way!! Not to mention the most important to me she always made time for my busy schedule. If you are ready to make the change, I recommend her 100%.”

-Elizabeth Deangelo

“Ilona works you to the max and then some only to prove you as an individual can succeed despite one’s own doubt. My body has never felt better since I started and it’s all because Ilona has showed me the way. Thanks a million.”

- Jude Delashaw

“Ilona has such a grasp of what works for your body. She motivates you and encourages you and somehow manages to make it a fun and positive experience. I have been using her for almost a year and she still manages to deliver different exercises to help keep me pushing myself. She is reliable, friendly, smart and in great shape! She knows what works and she’ll help you through every stage of getting physically fit.”
