I have been exercising for over 20 years, and Donna Madonia is no doubt the best trainer I have hired. I have been training with her for about 3 years. She is mindful of what works for me personally, and doesn't do "boiler plate" training sessions. Rather, she evaluates you individually and knows what works and what doesn't work. I have had back and neck problems for years. Through Donna's training, I am more fit and stronger with much less pain. The right kind of form when exercising is crucial as well as the type and amount of weights one uses. Donna gets an overall rating of "10" and I highly recommend her.

Donna has provided me with creative and interesting workouts to target my fitness interests, from a workout to generally tone to a specific one to improve core muscles and balance to get me in shape for surfing. She is super-friendly and encouraging - even if I don't have an appointment with her, she always says hi when she sees me.

I have never felt better in my life and I owe it all to you. Just knowing when I was going to meet with you, no matter how I felt you were going to make me fell that I could do anything.
I have beaten my cancer and I have you to thank for it. I feel incredible and look better than I ever have in my 56 years o f life! You are an angel and someone I will always cherish!!!
Lynne M. Schaefer (Plymouth, MA)
Several months back feeling totally frustrated with the lack of any significant change in my body I enlisted the help of Donna Madonia a personal trainer at the gym I had been going to for a full year.
Within weeks of working with Donna there was such a dramatic change to my outward appearance that people I both knew and didn't know were stopping me to compliment me. Never in a million years would I think that I could have muscle tone and definition that I saw on other people training around me.
After 45 years of looking and feeling one way I now have more energy and strength due to the varied weight program that Donna has worked out for me. She is a true motivating factor with her boundless energy and extensive knowledge that she continues to share with me and her other clients.
