Donna Milazzo

Donna is an authentic expert in her field, displaying her vast knowledge and experience in strength training, muscle development, exercise, nutrition, and weight loss consistently both in and out of our training sessions. She is the precise coach I was seeking for my health and fitness goals, tailoring each workout to my unique abilities and preferences with every session feeling fresh and challenging. Donna factors in my physical limitations to prevent any potential injuries, while maintaining an open relationship where she is available for any questions or guidance outside of the gym. As a motivational force, Donna provides the extra push to help her clients achieve their desired results, holding us accountable for our progress. Her warm charisma makes it easy to connect with her, genuinely caring about her clients throughout the process by checking in frequently with them. In summary, Donna is the real deal, the ideal trainer for anyone seeking transformational results and motivation to keep pushing forward.

Without a doubt, the personal training experience with Paul and Donna was exceptional! The workout routines were effective, the motivation was top-notch, and the results exceeded expectations. Beyond their undeniable expertise, these two are truly remarkable individuals whom I am grateful to have met. I trained with them for several months, and the lasting effects of their core workouts are still apparent. Even after an injury that changed my life, I continued with their program, and Paul helped me regain my confidence and sense of self. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a positive change in their life. Not only are they affordable, but they also customize their workout plans based on your specific needs. And to top it all off, their personal gym is the ideal setting for achieving your fitness goals.

I have a strong attachment to The Fit Connection, a pristine and hospitable private gym. Paul, my personal instructor for 12 months, has consistently been considerate of my availability. My spouse recently began joining me during our training sessions, during which Paul challenged us not only physically, but also mentally. While the workouts are frequently rigorous, they are undeniably rewarding.

To be honest, I couldn't imagine my life without Paul and Donna. Even though I solely work out with Paul, Donna's contributions are just as great and integral to the environment. I've been training with Paul for nearly three years now, attending three to four sessions a week for an hour each. I can confidently say that I haven't encountered a more proactive trainer who motivates you to reach your fitness goals, advises you on proper eating habits (including for vegans and pescatarians), and delivers measurable results. His excellence has even earned him recommendations from me to three to five people, who continue to work with him to this day, including one who moved to NYC but still sees Paul when in town. Beyond his effectiveness, Paul's sense of humor and personality are genuinely enjoyable. Conversing and spending time with Paul outside the gym is just as fun. While it might not seem pertinent for trainers, having an enjoyable personality while powerlifting 400lbs+ is a tremendous attribute. Overall, the studio itself is a hidden gem that's easy to miss at first glance. However, if you can look past its exterior, it's a fantastic space that's versatile and perfect for any workout. They utilize the interior, the neighboring stairs, and parking lot for various exercises, including tire flips and carries. In contrast to the popular perception that LA personal trainers largely aren't invested in their clients' goals, Paul, Donna, and the entire team at Fit Connection markedly care. If you have the opportunity to work with Paul or Donna, do it, but please, don't steal my time slot :)

I highly recommend Donna as a professional trainer who has helped me learn numerous new workouts, and I believe she would be an excellent choice for anyone seeking training.
