"When I first signed up for our Weight Loss Program I was more than a little skeptical. Having tried numerous weight loss techniques in the past I must admit, my expectations were rather low. Almost from the night of our first meeting I knew this was going to be something special.
The difference? Maria Petrone! At a time in our society when most people are just "sleep walking" through their work, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the last thing Maria would ever do is just "phone in" her presentations. She not only has the knowledge and expertise to offer us regarding "food management" but Maria really believes in her mission and she is committed to our success. She has also fostered an environment of honesty and trust I have not experienced in a very long time. Since starting last September I have lost almost 30 pounds and I am now confident that I can attain my goal of losing 100 pounds by this fall...Above all else, Maria has taught me how to regain control over how, what, when, and where I eat, and to believe that I am in control of my eating habits and food in general. Food no longer controls me! I believe that Maria Petrone is a true advocate for anyone who wants to learn to re-think their relationship with food."

"One of the best decisions of my life was to join Maria Petrone’s weight loss class. She has helped me work toward eating better on my journey to lose weight. I look forward to the class every week and have been enjoying her spin class the last couple of weeks. She has made it easy for all of the participants of the class to speak freely and frankly about our obstacles on our path to better eating and weight loss. She encouraged us to start a chat group to support each other when we are facing everyday struggles to stay on the path of good health. I highly recommend joining her group to anyone who is looking to better themselves through healthy eating."

"So there I was, the world’s biggest skeptic “I need meat to feel strong and full” always ate my fruit and vegetables, but consistently ate an abundance of animal protein and dairy products. I just couldn’t lose that annoying 5-8 lbs. After consulting with Maria Petrone several months ago, I changed my lifestyle. Now, my diet is 85-90% plant-based. I feel great, have more energy, am no longer bloated, look more lean, feel positive, have no brain fog, and most importantly I am satisfied with the variety in my diet. I am committed to following Maria’s program from now on!"

"“Change your thoughts and you can change your world"
I sent this quote to my son the other day and then thought how much it applied to Maria Petrone. She inspires all who come to her class. She is compassionate about her belief in your ability to change your lifestyle into a healthy one through exercise and proper nutrition.
This is not a quick diet program or weight loss scheme. I have learned how to make healthy choices and have been motivated to change my behaviors. This has been made possible through Maria’s dedication and conviction in each one of us. She goes the extra mile and encourages us to step out of our comfort zone and try different ideas and exercise programs.
I am grateful for what I’ve learned and look forward to continue the healthy journey Maria has introduced me to."

"I’ve been working with Maria for 4 1/2 years. I originally consulted with her to get help reducing inflammation in my body and heal Ulcerative Colitis. Within less than two years, my UC was undetectable from colonoscopy! I continued to incorporate her healing through nutrition principles since then. She recently advised me to try vegetarian lunches to increase my stamina and mental energy in the afternoons. Within a few weeks, I’ve never felt stronger. She has a positive energy and encourages you to try new things. Her extensive knowledge of nutrition provides a wealth of information. In addition, her acronyms stay with you and remind you to keep striving to be your healthiest self. “
