Monique is an amazing instructor/ fitness trainer who is extremely passionate about what she does. Her motivation & energy makes working out so fun and rewarding!! read more

I contacted Monique based on a referral from an acquaintance.  I was looking for someone to train me at home.  Although working out at home is nice, I really dislike exercise.  I look for a lot of excuses to avoid what I consider to be a chore.  By the time I finally reached out to Monique, it had been months since I worked out and I had been happily ignoring my diet.   The hours of sendentary activity due to working from home, and lack of exercise coupled with a bad diet made me feel unhealthy.  I realized I needed to do something. Monique responded to me promptly and we discussed my goals and my current fitness level.  I told her I needed a person who would do house calls.  Monique has developed a really pleasant rapport with me and she also relates to me on a personal level.  She is a great motivator and she counters all my excuses in a reasonable, logical way.  Monique has also suggested some lifestyle changes, which I have followed.  I was suprised to see they really did make a difference in my overall health.   I actually now look forward to my sessions, and a large part of it is because of Monique, her calming influence, and her humor.  It's like having a friend visit me and it's very therapeutic.  She has an extensive knowledge of her field and applications.  No two workouts with her are the same, and she has used Pilates, weight training, yoga, cardio, and introduced new concepts to me if I can handle them.  Monique is super responsive to my needs and always is in touch with me.  She gently challenges me to go outside my comfort level.  She is unbelieveably accomodating  if I need to make an ocassional change in schedule, and I've never skipped a workout with her because she gives me great motivation and support.  I really recommend Monique Forman.   You really need to work with her to see how greatly you can benefit.  She's amazing! read more

Monique is an excellent personal trainer! Ever since I started, I have become 10x stronger than I was originally. She's so inspirational and really motivates you to be the best you can be! She has a degree in what she does for a living and it's clear that she is extremely educated because she knows all about the functions of muscles in the body and which exercises help strengthen them. If you have had surgeries or medical conditions, she is also well aware of areas of caution and will give very good exercises to do that will actually help heal you while giving you a nice workout.

Monique is the best! I had been procrastinating working out for over 6 months. My best friend's wife had been training with Monique for almost a year. She raved about how motivating she is and how knowledgeable she is about health, the body/anatomy, flexibility and more. I finally agreed to do a session with her and I am hooked. I am now a month in on a weekly basis, and I would say she is best trainer I have ever had. If you're looking for someone personable, positive, encouraging and very knowledgeable about the human body, who will keep you safe from injury and you really want to enjoy your workout, Monique is for you! read more

Monique is amazing! I feel so lucky I found her yoga class over a year ago, hands down the best yoga teacher I've ever encountered and I've taken a lot of yoga over the years!

Absolutely the best out there. Amazing energy. Terrific workout. One of a kind. I absolutely recommend Monique. The best!!!!

I moved to LA a year and a half ago and had to get back into training. I hadn't worked out in over a year. I met Monique and BAM, she got me motivated inviting me to classes first. I got hooked and have been several months now. She is not only an incredible yoga and pilates teacher, but an incredible human being! She truly cares about each person in her class. She LOVES what she does and LOVES it even more sharing and teaching her passion to her students. If you don't get to class early at LA Fitness at one of her classes, good luck in squeezing in. Wish LA Fitness offered more classes with her. Two is not enough! You can tell with the number of fans she has at each class! She has made this move transition for me go well - feeling great, healthy, stronger and happy to be in LA! She's the BEST. read more

1 stars because She was a very sweet, and motivating on my first and only personal one on one training session. I was in for a lifestyle changing experience! This was my first time in my life ever making a decision to actually hire a trainer to help because everything else seems to fail for me because I felt like I couldn't do it on my own. And I explained my importance and how motivated and encourage I am for this and was willing to go to any extent. 0 stars for her giving up on me on day one! And left me crying for several minutes, after receiving a text the same day in the evening, that she is is sorry but she can no longer train me or give me the attention that I need because she got a "sudden offer to teach a class". I got up after my husband told me that there many trainers out there that will train u in a heartbeat. I made a few phone calls and found my match and started with my new personal one on one trainer the very next morning and paid on the spot for a whole year in advance for all my sessions because of how motivated I was! and I have to tell you it was the best decision ever---i lost 2pounds into my first 1st week training and then several weeks into my training with my new, encouraging, professional, very attentive on the daily, i have lost several pounds more! If u want a trainer that doesn't give up on you no matter what the circumstance is, I suggest you not use Monica! Sorry but not sorry Monica u left me hanging! Not sure if it was an excuse, but It wasn't cool, u don't just take a better opportunity and leave someone hanging after promising her the moon and the stars with ur words of encouragement when ur trying to close out a deal and several hours later into the day u change ur mind... If ur truly passionate about what u do for a living, u follow through with ur clients. Not give up. However, i would like to end this on a positive note.. i wish monica the best on all her endeavors! Its a shame because she was a very nice lady. read more

Monique is by far the best trainer that I have ever worked with! I take her group classes as well as personal training sessions, and they are both wonderful. During my group lessons with Monique, I am always amazed at how she is able to adapt the classes to a variety of fitness levels while making each person feel like their needs are important. The classes are fun and challenging and I always end the session feeling motivated, energized and relaxed. Monique is such a positive trainer! She focuses on the whole person, including nutrition and meditation. This approach inspires you to make changes in your lifestyle and encourages you to make fitness and health a priority. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing personal trainer! read more

Monique is one of the best trainers I know (and I'm a fitness instructor and running coach so I've met quite a few). Not only does she have an amazing amount of energy and positive attitude, she truly cares about each person in her class. In a class of 50+ people, she can learn everyone's name within 5 minutes! Her Pilates classes are amazing and I always leave knowing that I got in a great workout. She is so knowledgeable and always gives a variety of modifications for people of all ability levels. If you ever have the ability to hire Monique or attend one of her classes, you won't regret it! read more

Monique is a great fitness instructor and trainer. I never see her falter or give up on anything or anyone.

Prior to meeting Monique I had never written a review for a person-let alone twice! But then again, I haven't met very many people in my life like Monique. What makes a person extraordinary? It's when they're already outstanding at what they do but they don't rest on that. In fact, that's what prompted this second review, I didn't think it was possible - but she continues to get better. She never has the attitude that she's already great at what she does and could just keep doing the same thing over again. She never "phones it in," coasts, or is in a bad mood. She puts so much thought and effort into each and every class she teaches long before she ever arrives-whether it's putting together a fun and motivating playlist for cycling or finding a profound, inspiring reading to set the intention for yoga. I've rarely seen anyone as dedicated, who cares so much about people and who works continually at being their absolute best - each and every time. She is always fully present and makes each moment you get to spend with her matter. She is truly a ray of sunshine that brightens my life every time I get to see her. She undoubtedly makes the world a better place. I aspire to be more like her. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Monique!! I have known her for a few years now, but I didn't start training with her until my fiancée proposed in November 2015. I train with Monique once a week, for an hour a day, and she has completely transformed my body. I found my wedding dress in December, and, when I went in for my first fitting in May, they had to take it in almost two sizes...TWO SIZES! I didn't want to lose any weight (maybe 2-5 pounds, max), but I wanted to gain muscle tone and look strong and healthy. Monique kept my fitness goals in mind, and she helped me become a beast! People are constantly asking about my weight loss (again, it just redistributed to muscle), and I always tell them that my success comes from Monique. Monique is positive and encouraging, pushes you to your limits, and leaves you feeling relaxed and refreshed after the session's final stretching and meditation. I love every session I have with her, as it is filled with hard work, laughter, and compassion. Working with Monique has allowed me to build my body, mind, and soul. If you are looking for a trainer, look no further! Monique is your gal! read more

I recommend that everybody tries one of her classes because once you attend one you will be hooked! read more

I can only say you'll be so happy if you work with her. read more

I saw results within weeks of taking Monique's classes, and that has never been the case with other classes I've taken. Monique is amazing at what she does. Somehow she manages to give everyone in her class one on one attention, while still teaching for a group. You can tell she loves what she does too, and her positive energy ALWAYS is infectious. I'd recommend Monique's classes to anyone. I've never looked forward to working out/ yoga/ pilates as much as I do with her. - Mindy read more

Monique is an amazing trainer. She personalizes the training sessions to your needs and prior injuries. She is very knowledgeable about body biomechanics and always explains why you are doing each exercise. She is good about offering modifications to avoid injuries.

Monique is awesome! She is so knowledgeable, motivational, inspirational, and fun! She is more than just a personal trainer - she provides encouragement, support, education, and positive energy. With a severe back injury she has worked diligently to modify exercises for me in order to make me stronger while also protecting my back. As I have gotten stronger, she continues to modify to protect my body's weaknesses, and focus on my body's strengths. She has helped make me stronger physically, emotionally, and mentally. Her classes are always fun, diverse, and hard work! But you never feel like it is "work." Her training sessions are personalized and modified to meet each person's unique needs. She is an excellent personal trainer with a true "personal" touch. She helps you meet your goals in physical fitness, health, nutrition, and beyond. She is so passionate about what she does and how she does it that it is a true pleasure to be around her. I highly recommend taking a class or training with Monique! read more
