Reviews

"Working out with Simone never feels like work. The fun factor is high, yet you get results. I don't think I've ever felt such a sense of joy when exercising! Simone has the personality, the discipline, and of course the body to inspire and push you. I cannot get enough!" -- Naomi Watts, Actress"Exercising with Simone is not just a physical experience--it's a mind-body experience. As a mother of three young children, getting back into exercise wasn't easy. Simone helped me get stronger and overcome my hurdles. I was hooked after the first workout!" -- Camilla Alves McConaughy, Model and Designer"Simone truly helps her clients get healthy from the inside out. In Body By Simone, she shows women everywhere that the secret to getting healthy and looking great isn't about deprivation or spending hours on a treadmill-it's about building strength, moving joyfully, and nourishing yourself in mind and body." -- Frank Lipman, MD, leading integrative physician and author of Thrive"Simone has been with me throughout my last two pregnancies and shown me that it's possible to work out while pregnant. Applying her "mummy modifications," she kept me fit throughout my pregnancies and then helped me shed the baby weight. I feel fitter now than I did 10 years ago!" -- Luciana Barroso Damon, Wife, Mother, and Philanthropist"I've never been the kind of person who loves to exercise, but I find Simone's workouts fun and effective. Plus they're so carefully designed for all levels--they will build your strength and keep you injury-free." -- Gina Gershon, Actress
