"Deena is an encouraging and supportive
professional. She is really concerned about the well-being of her
clients and always helps us work out smarter. I've been really
pleased with the increase in my strength, coordination, and fitness
levels thanks to working out with Deena."
Kathy Martin
Working out with
Deena is great because she makes everything fun. She works me really
hard but with a smile on her face and never lets me quit until the
work out is done. Sometimes we work out on Ocean Ave and sometimes
we work out at the gym. Both workouts are really good because it is
important to vary the way we exercise. I look forward to working out
with Deena because it feels like I am exercising with a friend. I
now feel confident to wear my new bikini. Thanks Deena for all your
hard work.
From Haley - age 15.
From my first training
session with Deena, I knew that she would help me make changes with
my lifestyle. I didn't have loads of weight I wanted to
lose, instead I just wanted to tone and tighten. My body
change was amazing!. My clothes fit and feel so much better
and my energy level has soared. I feel so much stronger and
I've received so many compliments! What I love about
Deena is that she subtly pushes you to your body's limit and
supports you the whole way. Her workouts are fun and varied;
you're never bored. Deena is always so cheerful and energetic,
you always look forward to your next session with her. Deena
becomes your partner and friend in making the most positive change
in your lifestyle.

Deena
is a fantastic trainer. She is incredibly positive and encouraging.
She knows her client's capabilities, limits, strengths, and
weaknesses. She knows how to push just the right way to get the
right results and best progress. Her approach is very
individualized.
Deena knows how to adapt a session to build strength or adapt to
physical challenges. She approaches training with a holistic
understanding of the body and body mechanics. Her commitment to her
work and her clients is obvious. Best of all she makes training fun.
I always look forward to seeing her and working out, it the high
point of my day.

I am a 50 year young mom of three. I
have been working out to try and combat the effects of multiple
pregnancies for over 18 years. The most successful workout I have
had is with Deena Russo. She understands a woman's (mom's) body
completely and works it exactly right-carefully pushing the limits
while maintaining good form. She never makes me feel bad if I miss a
session or have a difficult time. I love the body I have been
building with Deena and highly recommend her for anyone wishing to
look and feel fit!
Cheryl Raiss
"I have been training
with Deena for over 4 years. Deena helped whip my body into shape
for my wedding 3 years ago, and later kept me strong and fit during
my pregnancy. I took some time off from training after my daughter
was born, but since resuming my training with Deena 5 months ago I
have lost 30+ lbs and I am on the road to reclaiming my
pre-pregnancy body. Deena has a way of motivating her clients with
positive words of encouragement that build your self esteem, and she
is always available with a sympathetic ear to discuss challenges
that her clients face in trying to stick to a healthy diet and
fitness regimen."
