Fit Monkeys

My mom and I have been doing yoga together now every Friday for 5 years! We decided we needed to try a new place closer to home and we found this place on Unilocal!Not only do we love monkeys and our favorite color is green but this mom and daughter run studio couldn’t be more ideal for my mom and I. They make you feel right at home, from the relaxing setting and décor to the personal set up of your yoga mat and blocks customized to your bodies needs. We are super excited to have a new yoga studio close to home and one we love the yoga teachers style and how much she helps you perfect your poses. We definitely recommend this place!!!

I have been working with Denise for about 9 months and cannot say enough great things about her. She has many years of experience and it shows! Denise has a thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system.
Initially I began training with Denise because of a rotator cuff injury. Denise’s knowledge of anatomy and how the body builds and heals muscles is above and beyond what I expected. I no longer have any issues with my shoulder and still train with Denise.
Every session with Denise is different, working different parts of the body in the most innovative and fun workouts. Yes, they are fun, but also intense, I often have a pleasant soreness after our workouts, but have never been injured from them. Her methods involve weights, pilates, yoga, a little bit of everything, they are fun and very effective.
Recently I attended a «bootcamp» type training session at another gym just for fun, but without Denise’s guidance on the correct form (her mantra) I injured my knee :-(Mea culpa, won’t do that again!
Go now while you can still get in! She is THAT good!

Kelly is very knowledgeable in both Pilates and yoga. I started training in Pilates with her three years ago. She is very attentive and understanding. She takes into account my personal injuries during training. She customizes and modifies work outs based on how my body is feeling that day so that I can get the best workout. Kelly is also a wonderful yoga instructor. She emits a very calm and peaceful energy during her sessions. She incorporates stretching exercises with traditional yoga poses for a very balanced work out. I always feel restored and relaxed after her yoga classes.
Some yoga and Pilates studios can be a little intimidating but Fit Monkeys is quite the opposite. The environment is very welcoming and relaxed. Both Kelly and Denise reflect that positive and warm energy. If you are new to Pilates/​yoga or looking for a new place to train I highly recommend giving Fit Monkeys a try. You will definitely not be disappointed.

Kelly is a great personal trainer!!! Each day she customizes the work out to where you are physically and emotionally. Kelly is an expert in safely rebuilding a body. She’s an expert in physiology and is a great motivator. I’ve tried many different kinds of exercise routines and personal trainers. Kelly is the BEST!!! She keeps the sessions moving, changes up what we do, and keeps me going. Her workouts include pilates, aerobics, strength training and yoga. I’ve been soooo impressed!!! Her new studio is fab!!! Love it!!!

Kelly helped me rehab from a chronic shoulder and neck injury. Her depth and breadth of knowledge regarding anatomy, pilates, yoga and general fitness are extremely impressive. Kelly is fun, super professional and thorough! She will ensure that every minute with her is well spent. I have only worked with her one-​on-​one, but look forward to taking one of her classes soon.

If you want an amazing workout with incredible results, then go see Kelly at Fit Monkeys. She is my star trainer, and fully responsible for my addiction to Pilates! Fit Monkeys combines yoga with Pilates to give you a complete workout in a zen-​like environment.
THE BEST IN NORTH COUNTY! :)

Denise was highly recommended as a great trainer so I decided to give her a try after my sessions with another trainer ran out. I’ve had excellent trainers in the past so the bar was set pretty high for her. Denise didn’t disappoint! She listened as I explained my limitations and expectations and created a program to attain my fitness goals. Not only does she demonstrate the moves but explains the why and what of it. Her belief is anyone can go to the gym and pump iron but its a whole different ballgame to execute correct form, which is first and foremost in her training.
Bonus! I had no experience with Pilates but she infused some into my workout which is not only beneficial, but fun!

Kelly truly shines as a Yoga and Pilates instructor and trainer. Her positive demeanor and depth of knowledge makes training with her a pleasure. Kelly is a caring listener who works with her clients to create a training program designed to achieve one’s physical goals. Her knowledge affords her the ability to modify training sessions as necessary to accommodate injuries or increase the intensity of any workout session. I’ve found Kelly to be supportive and encouraging in my time working with her. Her routines are creative and I always look forward to our time together. It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Kelly as a personal trainer. She is simply amazing!

Kelly is a great trainer! Very knowledgable about the body and diet as well! I have always left every session feeling like I got a great workout and my money’s worth!

Kelly is an excellent, creative, highly skilled Yoga and Pilates trainer, whether in private or group sessions. She is always positive, encouraging, and just a wonderful, sweet presence to be around. She will give your body the most beneficial workout it needs.

Excited to work out at FIT Monkeys! I have taken pilates and yoga with Kelly for years and she is GREAT!
