I worked with Elizabeth Rosbottom to design a completely custom wedding dress and veil. Although I've always been thin and fitness is a part of my everyday lifestyle, it was important that I achieve muscle definition, particularly in my arms & back, and be in my best possible shape in my wedding dress. In addition to my twice-weekly sessions with Molly, she also designed a personal calendar for me to follow that specified what kind of workout to complete on days we didn't meet that included strength training, high-intensity cardio, yoga, and flexibility.
I starting training early in the year leading up to my wedding. One of the most challenging parts was not burning out - Molly designed a personalized program that progressed in a way that was challenging and attainable. Had I stuck to working out on my own or just taking large group classes, I would not have made the same level of progress. The most valuable aspect of working with Molly was her attention to detail and proper form in our warm-ups & workouts - she corrected a lot of small mistakes to help me stay injury-free that I had never noticed before. Molly is extremely focused & professional - she is also kind to everyone and fun! I want to hang out with her outside of work - she is that kind of person.
The biggest reward was looking at photos the day after the wedding and realizing I was happy with how I looked in ALL of them. When does that ever happen?! Photo Courtesy of Brumley & Wells Photography

Working with Molly for my wedding was the best thing I did during the whole wedding planning process, hands down. It was the one part of my day that was actually about me and my health, and not about flowers, caterers or other drama. I felt amazing on my wedding day - it was so rewarding to put on my dress! Overall, I lost 25 pounds and lost belly fat in an incredible way.
I lost the weight not through crash dieting but slowly and steadily - I am so happy with the way I look now.In the past, I liked to work out but was never consistent. Now I don't feel like myself if I don't sweat everyday. I decided to work with Molly because I needed someone to kick my butt with workouts and get me motivated! Molly is fun and bubbly, and I felt like she understood exactly what I wanted to achieve in the time I had when we first met. I looked forward to our sessions every week - she kept me going even if I was having a bad day, stressed, or didn't want to work out. Molly gave me a lot of confidence in my abilities and never made me feel like I was failing. The customized monthly plan that Molly provided was also very helpful; I need structure and having that made me stick to the program.

I made so many changes that made me feel absolutely AMAZING on my wedding day! I lost over 8 inches and 8 pounds, and really toned my arms and back and shoulders - exactly what I set out to do! The most challenging aspect of training with Molly was the number of burpees she worked into our program (although now, I will say, as much as I despised them they were EXTREMELY helpful in achieving my goals!)
My best friend worked with MWF before her wedding and she looked unbelievable; the most valuable part about working with Molly was that she understood me. She tailored our workouts perfectly to my goals and also my abilities, and every workout was just hard enough that I was able to do it, but still needed to really push myself. When I wanted to give up, she knew exactly how to push me to keep going. She was AWESOME.
Before working with Molly, I looked at fitness as something I had to do to look good, and in the end it was something I wanted to do to feel good, too. On my wedding day I felt like the best version of myself, which was the most rewarding - that, and being able to hold a very long plank. :) Photo Courtesy of Ira Lippke Studios, NYC

So many details go into planning a wedding! Working with Molly was THE best investment I made in preparation for my beach wedding Mexico. I found it incredibly unique that Molly understood how to create a training program just for me that was designed around how both of my wedding gowns fit. I chose to wear different dresses for my ceremony & reception!
I hadn't been to the gym in months when I started working with Molly. She took time to meet with me before we started to better understand my goals and what I hoped to achieve. As a "The gym is a necessary evil!" kind of person, I really appreciated how Molly always checked my form and was able to modify our workouts to match my strength and skill level during our first few weeks. She continued to challenge and motivate me as I made progress.
Molly is an amazing trainer: She's dynamic, fun, super nice, and tough (but it a good way!) Our workouts were intense - but I am fitter, stronger and leaner as a result. I felt so confident on my wedding day, and I feel better than ever about my physical strength and appearance. I plan to continue working with Molly post-wedding!

Fitness has always been - and always will be - a big part of my life. Molly was GREAT to work with! She is bubbly, energetic, professional and focused. I knew instantly we were a good match for my wedding day fitness goals. Every workout felt personalized and customized for me. I made physical improvements in a healthy way with Molly's support. She challenged me to push past my "workout plateau", all while creating workouts to work around an old hip injury. She also helped me understand that effective strength training is just as important as cardio when you want to change your body. Molly is a true professional who gets to know her clients and their fitness level and capabilities, and I highly recommend her.

Before I met Molly, I was going to the gym but not seeing results. I wanted to change my body for my wedding and I needed an expert - Molly! She was a pleasure to work with. wonderful to work with - very sweet and motivating. She quickly realized in training that I am a visual learner - which I didn’t really know about myself - and performed a lot of exercises with me to make sure I stayed on track. I made progress that felt healthy and achieved my physical goals, and really valued that she came prepared with so many different workouts that DID change my body, many of which I can now do on my own. The most challenging aspect of my program was the core work - especially lower core - but the most rewarding was that exercises that first seemed impossible became easier, and I LOVED the boxing! I I felt amazing, fit and healthy on my wedding day.

Molly was wonderful to work with in preparing for my wedding! I felt like I needed a bit of a cheerleader and someone to help me commit to what seemed to be such a daunting task. It was also hugely convenient and a large part of my success that Molly traveled to my apartment gym and devised routines using the equipment that was available to us. I also appreciated Molly’s checking in and really listening to my concerns and successes. She kept me challenged throughout the entire program, and no part of the plan was extreme or unattainable for someone who is motivated.
She was very supportive of my goals and very receptive to things that worked and didn’t work for me in the past. Not only did she customize the workouts based on my progress when I was with her, but also supplied me with detailed workouts on days I worked out on my own. She also understood the competing commitments and stress that come with planning a wedding, and helped me relax and refocus on my fitness goals when I was overwhelmed.
It was so rewarding to hear feedback from friends and family on my wedding day who had noticed the significant weight loss and inches lost. I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend her program to anyone looking for a major overhaul to their fitness regimen, or who just needs extra support in their fitness goals leading up to one of the most prominent days of their life.

I’ve worked with other trainers, but Molly struck a chord with me and we had this harmonious workout relationship when I decided to hire her to train me for my wedding. Molly guided me weekly, structuring every workout. Although it felt like a slow progression for the first month, I committed to training and worked hard, and my body started to change. She helped me focus on the positive changes I was going to make to my body for my wedding. Her thoroughness ensured that each training session accommodated for all aspects of my physical capability, and she was always ready to make adjustments or changes. My dressmaker was in awe of how my body was transforming each time I arrived for a fitting! Her knowledge, encouragement, guidance and patience helped me change into the healthiest, strongest person I could possibly be. Working with her was an invaluable experience. |

Molly's organization and attentiveness maximized our sessions like no other fitness experience I've had. I have been fortunate to work with many fitness professionals in NYC and abroad. My schedule is busy, and Molly was prompt, organized, and didn't waste time. I found that Molly's tailored program of high intensity interval training combined with a customized daily meal-delivery program that Molly recommended was the most effective way for me to stay accountable to my fitness goals.
With Molly, I got more out of my sixty minutes than anyone else because of her commitment to push me, keeping me moving, and work as efficiently as possible, while keeping me motivated and positive. She was fun and professional, and didn't let me get distracted. Our workouts were varied, challenging, and exhausting in a way that still left me energized and focused afterwards.
Also, her experience working with brides made her a good resource for a multitude of wedding-related concerns: She was able to provide helpful feedback on everything from comfortable wedding day dancing shoes, eyelash extensions and even to how to calm an over-sensitive relative!
I trained with a personal trainer at Tracey Anderson for over a year with the same time commitment of 4-5 times a week while in town. Not only did I not meet my goals, but I began having knee problems while training there. The workouts were not sufficiently modified in a way that averted continued strain on my knees. Molly always kept an eye on my form, providing corrections and modifications to avoid strain and injury that could lead to lapses in my workout schedule.
I've continued to train with Molly regularly post-wedding. She is a skilled teacher - she shares information with me in a way that helps me inform other teachers/trainers of strengths and weaknesses so that they are able to help me more effectively. This is very helpful since I travel frequently and need to catch people up quickly - I use Molly's feedback to better inform other fitness professionals so their limited time with me is more effective.
