I’ve been training with Mercedes since September 2021 as soon as we meet I felt a connection. I feel like I’m working out with a friend. Not only is she great at motivating and pushing you she also keeps the workout fun.I would recommend her to anyone looking to begin their fitness journey and even if you already know what your doing but like to have a motivator in your corner cheering you on!

As former track and field, volleyball and basketball high school/college athlete and avid fitness enthusiast most people would think I shouldn't really need a trainer. Although this may be accurate I will say even the greatest athletes in their respective fields have very knowledgeable trainers helping them properly strengthen and push their limits. Without a doubt Mercedes DeJesus is one of these amazing trainers, she is down to earth and easy to talk with. At the same time she is knowledgeable in training techniques and has the right amount of ruthlessness in my opinion required by any trainer to push a client towards a goal. Before getting trained by Mercedes I had hit a wall in my fitness progress and after a few sessions that wall was began to crumble an I can say without a doubt it's because Mercedes has helped me push through it. For anyone looking to get back into their fit life or are completely new to the game, I highly recommend you consider Mercedes as your trainer. Mercedes is a whole amount of know how with tons of joy and just enough aggressive push required in a trainer all wrapped up in a little bundle ready to help you realize your fitness/health goals.

Mercedes is a great trainer. She has an infectious optimism and friendly aura, she makes sure to tailor her programs to your level of fitness. And, wants to help you achieve your goals but don't let her friendliness fool you, she will make you work hard!

I highly recommend Mercedes DeJesus with Tough & Tender Fitness not only is Mercedes double certified but she has helped my fiancé and I achieve so many goals!
She’s very well priced, extraordinary at her job and works with you to get you where you want to be. Her accountability, knowledge and understanding of how people are makes her a top tier trainer in my eyes.
I don’t know where I would be with my fitness journey If it wasn’t for Merc and I can say the same for my fiancé. She has helped him gain so much mobility back after multiple years of abuse on his body and same as I.
If you want someone who will help you achieve your goals, keep you accountable, not break your bank I would go to Mercedes.

I really can't believe how much better my husband and I feel. We've been working with Mercedes as our trainer for 8 weeks. We both had huge mobility and balance issues. She has conscientiously worked through pain and stiffness with us. We've never been hurt or stiff yet we've achieved so much. Bill is awaiting knee surgery and has experienced more mobility. I have tendonitis in my feet and can now walk for 40 minutes on trails with my grand daughter. Thank you Mercedes for giving us this new lease on life. Staying with you to keep us golden <3

Here's the deal, coach Mercedes is an absolute training icon. She has pushed me to become things I didn't think was possible. Gains built on science and hard work and easily the most amazing coach around.

The group boot camp has been challenging, yet fun. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get moving and needs something enjoyable to keep you interested and excited to go to the next session

I started out with struggling to get up the stairs and having a challenging outlook on my self confidence. Now, 3 months later, I'm 20 lbs lighter, feeling so much better and I'm beginning to appreciate the way I look in the mirror. Coach Mercedes definitely has the approach that makes the process easy to follow, understand and enjoy. I look forward to going to the gym knowing I'm going to learn how to be the best version of myself, not only for the short term, but for the long term. Highly recommend her as coach to achieve your health and fitness goals.

Initially my goal was just to improve my overall fitness level, in 2 years of training, I have definitely achieved that goal and am going even further. Have also enjoyed the side benefit of getting stronger and have lost about 40 pounds and a 6 inch decrease in jean size. Coach Mercedes knows exactly how to motivate her clients and I will be continuing for a long time.
