J
Personal Trainers
She is very personable and helped in some aspects of improving daily activities. But her exercises are extremely erratic, doesn’t follow a regimen every week (even though asked to do so), and ignored patient’s orthopedic limitations and requests to not do certain exercises that would potentially be harmful to the patient. She may be better suited as a trainer but is not suited for any kind of physical therapy or rehab care. Recommend any potential client check her credentials and licenses. More...

Yvonne Thank you for sharing your feedback. It was genuinely a pleasure to work with Jason this past year and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have met you both. Jason will be well served with the Physical Therapy practice specializing in neurological disorders which he has continued to attend over the past two years. I sincerely wish him well. If there's anything I can address or clarify, please let me know. Dannie Alter CSFT CPT

Dannie asked the right questions about my major complaints and listened to me. When she made her assessment she knew what my limits were and what I needed to do to keep myself healthy. She included an exercise program with proper breathing and suggestions about my diet. I am very pleased with the results. More...

Thank you Trish. You were so great to work with and the due diligence you put into getting better really paid off. So proud of you! Thank you for the referrals!
Bonnie
This lady is truly a gem! My right shoulder was in “pain”, an exray showed numerous tairs. Much of the pain came from poor posture, came from not relaxing the shoulder and not keeping my arm close to my body. Well after correcting all that, I was ready for a bit of weight lifting. After following the routine given to me, my sore shoulder became a distant memory. Dannie was the perfect remedy. Highly recommend her services; plus, she is fun to be with❣️ More...

Mitch Newberg
Mrs Alter has been taking care of my Mother ( 77yo ) for about 2 years( my Mother had mini strokes which rendered her somewhat unable to function normally, with lots of patience, knowledge and caring, thanks to Mrs Alder ( Senior Fitness and Lifestyle Coach) my mother is pretty much back to normal. I couldn't recommend her better!! We went from having someone at the house 24/7 to Mom living by herself again with periodic visits and training. More...

Mitch Your mother is so easy to work with, she wanted to get back to herself quickly and has come a long way toward continued independence. Thank you for the taking the time to write a review and I’ll be seeing you both soon.
Andrea Gurvitz
I’m a 71 year old in Boca Raton with a new hip who needed one on one specialized training to achieve improved fitness. Dannie, a senior herself, got me moving again, with care and thoughtfulness, after a year of couch potato-ing. Not something I’d get if I went back to my gym. She deserves an A rating from me.
