Karen A. Gagliardi


I’ve lost 160 lbs working with Darla and improving my eating habits. I have more energy, flexibility, and coordination than ever. My mind and body are finally balanced!

Kim Zinser


At 37, 5’8, 208 lbs and size 18, I started my “get fit” routine - Darla first emphasized factors to properly integrate my spine by evaluating my posture and alignment. Who would have thought posture was so important in keeping fit!...My goal was to lose 50 lbs and after 4 months, I lost 30 lbs. Darla’s regimen is easy. You don’t get exhausted or lose interest. It is consistent and designed for those with a busy lifestyle!

Adele and Lenny Zuckerman


Darla O’Brien has been my personal trainer for seven wonderful years. She has not only kept me fit - but she was able to help me regain my balance after a severe auto accident. She helped me regain my stability and health. My husband started training with Darla 2½ years ago and has she done wonders for my special octogenarian!!

Linda Scherr


I consider myself fortunate to have worked with Darla O'Brien for the last eight years. Darla tailored an exercise program specifically for me. It has made a real difference in my body posture, sense of balance and overall body strength.

Tim McCarver, Baseball Player: St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies


I live in Sarasota, Florida, and have had the good fortune to have been a client of Ms. Darla O'Brien for the past ten years. Her dedication to her craft has helped me immeasurably in maintaining my physical health and well-being. Further, she is one of the most responsible and professional in her craft with whom I have ever been associated. Please keep in mind, that (as a professional baseball player) I have dealt with trainers and fitness professionals most of my life. And Ms. O'Brien is right at the top of the list of those gifted few who are without peers in her business!
