"Over the past 12 years or so I have worked with a number of excellent trainers in Manhattan as well as abroad and hands down Paula Carnabuci is the BEST! Personally I think the woman has super human powers because she seems to know what is happening with every little muscle at all times. Her knowledge is vast and her instincts are sharp. Our workouts are short in duration but MIGHTY in intensity and results. Paula is also just a wonderful person be around." Kelly Lynch, Eileen Fisher Inc.
"After thirty years of exercising and trying pretty much every technique out there, I was introduced to Paula Carnabuci and have never looked back. Paula has developed her own unique combination of stretching, weights and core work that is incomparable in its physical effect. She uses her years of experience and advanced level of knowledge of how the healthy body functions to create a workout that is challenging, exhilarating and pleasurable at the same time - no small accomplishment. There is nothing like a "Paula" class for mind/body results you will feel. Thank you, Paula!" Margaret Levinson
"I have been an avid exerciser for more than 4-1/2 decades and a participant in Paula Carnabuci's Saturday morning class for 3-1/2 years; it is by far the most challenging class I have ever experienced. Paula's movement design gives the opportunity to work the entire body during the hour; I always leave feeling refreshed mentally as well as physically.
I have also been fortunate enough to participate in a few of Margaret's classes. Do not be deceived by Margaret's gentle manner - the work out is forceful!
I am new to Darby's classes but have become addicted to the Saturday morning boot camp because of the energy she inspires. That class followed by Paula's is the ultimate experience!
I am so thrilled to call myself a friend of the Energy Movement Center! These amazing women are offering a variety of unique modes of movement which keeps me coming back for more!"

"I started training with Darby in order to increase my balance, flexibility, and strength. An interesting side effect of this training was an incredible drop in my cholesterol. Ten months after this work with Darby my cholesterol, which was very high, dropped down to normal. It went down slowly as I worked out - from 265 to 240 to 203. I was unable to take cholesterol meds (such as Lipotor) because I had muscle aches and other side effects. I never believed that I would get my cholesterol down by other means. I am extremely grateful to Darby for supporting my endeavor." Helene, age 61
"After several major surgeries followed by physical therapy, diet programs and exercise classes, I have finally found something that works for me in reaching my goals of losing weight and regaining strength and flexibility. Options in Fitness has provided me with not only one-on-one training, but encouragement, praise, and a genuine interest in my achievements regardless of my age and physical condition. One of the most rewarding experiences in my life has been joining Options in Fitness." Marilyn Miranda, Age 72
"My personal training sessions are always a positive experience both physically and psychologically. Even on days when I am tired or am not feeling well, I leave feeling energized and much better. I do not consider the personal training a luxury, I feel for me it is a necessity. The nutritional advice has also proved to be beneficial. My goal when I began with you was to lose weight, strengthen my core and improve my fitness level, all in an effort to avoid back surgery. Although I am still a work in progress, I consider my goals have been achieved." Tina Rickett
