The Vongova Bodylift method has transformed my body and lifestyle. I am over forty years old, and have spend my life participating in several fitness programs. However, the Vongova Bodylift method is more effective than all the fitness methods I have tried. In just twenty minutes, I am dripping in sweat, and feel my muscles burn. I feel like fat is burning during every workout session. Every day, I wake up feeling motivated to exercise because the program is fun, easy to follow, and results-showing. As an added advantage, the Vongova Bodylift method is conveniently portable, and can even be performed inside your home. The method has truly transformed my wellbeing in every way.

"I was captivated by Brenda’s routine from the first moment that we worked together. She brings an exclusive air of femininity to working out that empowers your entire desire to be sensual and seductive with an amazing kick-ass routine. She helped me prepare for my wedding, and I looked like a superstar for the bachelorette in Puerto Rico and amazing for the wedding in France. My favorite advice from her- sip water out of a wine glass, imagine you are IMAN for your posture, and avoid eating after 6pm for the ultimate weightloss . I always incorporated her advice after our serious workouts – many of which I love – like the Samarai with a sword (of course using a broom) and the ultimate treadmill workout which typically I hate – Brenda made the treadmill come alive in creative and inspiring new ways. I never got bored with Brenda’s routine, because it’s always challenging and changing. Brenda is so very committed to helping you look and feel your best – bringing me matcha green tea and suggested great restaurants so that I could still be social and lose weight. Thanks Brenda

“Brenda Vongova is a multitalented caring, holistic professional.
I hired her as a trainer but I got a life coach instead. Working with my time limitations, high level of stress and sometimes little determination, Brenda slowly adapted the exercises to my needs, made them fun, memorable, relatable to my "ballerina" days and to other passions of mine. Brenda diligently researched about my health history, modifying exercises accordingly even without my noticing.Brenda, thank you so much for making exercising so easy, portable, enjoyable, part of my everyday life now. ”
Former ESTÉE LAUDER Executive “I weighed in at 118 the other day… about a full ten pounds less than when we started together! I went on my bachelorette last weekend with my girlfriends and all of them were raving about how good I look. THANK YOU!!!! I am really loving exercising and eating better. It’s easy now!!!! Whole wheat, lots of veggies, less meat. Lots of water. I’ve been preaching to my friends too. I only buy whole wheat now. Thank you for making such a major, important, and fun transition in my life for me! Oh, and of course Marc thinks I look fabulous.”

Brenda guided me safely and progressively to get my athletic self back and did wonders for my posture and shape.

“Brenda Vongova is the BEST personal trainer anyone could ever hope for. Her holistic philosophy is what sets her apart - she doesn't just sculpt your body into perfection - she also teaches you about nutrition, balance, and well-being. She was really a godsend and I feel so lucky that she was available to train me. I had short term goals...get fit, tone up, and lose a few pounds before my wedding. Brenda starts by listening to your needs, then formulating a work-out plan that targets your specific goals. She will also give you advice on developing a nutritional plan. After a few weeks, I started seeing some major results and my energy level increased as well. I'm happy to say that I'm well on my way to reaching my fitness goals, thanks to Brenda.”
Tom Lane
Former BBC News Reporter / Producer “Portable, practical and I dare say perfect, the Vongova program brings all the advantages of a gym with none of the costs. You can perform the exercises in practically any room, anywhere in the world. You'll work hard, but you'll feel the benefits immediately. ”

Vitaliy Pereverzev
Professional Tennis Player “I have been a professional tennis player for over a decade. Prior to meeting Vongova, I had become - for a variety of reasons - pretty skeptical of exercise specialists who worked in the gym. However, Vongova changed my attitude by 180 degrees: When someone is able to give you a solid, focused pump workout one day and then a sport-specific workout the day after (especially if you are not a novice in the sport) without blinking an eye, it is clearly called professionalism. On top of all, she completely embodies her program. (....Have you seen her?!) Vongova is the best exercise specialist. Period. End of discussion.”
Elisa Niemtzow
Founder, living épanoui™“Move your bumbum with a trainer. Getting a professional’s support with your fitness endeavors often makes the difference between aspiration and reality. Recently, I was introduced to a holistic fitness coach, Brenda Vongova, who takes a joyful and intelligent approach to movement.
The Harvard-educated Brenda works with a small number of clients because she saves the world by day at the United Nations. She specializes in slimming and redesigning the body holistically. Her Body Lift program takes only 20 minutes a day and can be done anywhere, without equipment. You can also add on the Vongova Tummy Tuck routine, or her Brazil-inspired Bumbum Lift. Who’s joining me in Ipanema?”
Emily Moulton
Producer, TOM TODOROFF STUDIO“Vongova kicks butt! Each exercise she introduces was fresh and new - I saw results right away because so many muscle groups are targeted simultaneously! Plus - Vongova is fun and funny and she makes the time fly by! ”

“I have been on Brenda's training program for just under a month! The results have been phenomenal! I generally train at the gym 4 times a week and have had no real results until I started Brenda's program. I have trimmed 2cm from my waistline and 1cm from my thighs! My stomach strength is consistent and I now have my 6 pack back in its full glory!! What’s more, my overall body is toned and I feel fantastic!! Thanks a million Brenda!!”
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK Professor “I started training with Brenda in 2007. I was hooked immediately: She taught me to strength train in a disciplined, yet entertaining manner. She fostered confidence and actually changed my overall outlook on fitness. After only a few weeks I had gained significant strength. To this day, my muscles feel toned but never bulky, and her routines are perfectly suited for my personal needs. Most importantly, I feel that Brenda’s workouts are a celebration of the woman’s body. ”
BRAZILIAN “A Brenda me surpreendeu ao me fazer gostar de correr e a cada dia me faz gostar mais de exercícios...Me exercitar virou lazer e não mais uma obrigação. ”
BRAZILIAN “She has the body and heart of a Brazilian which says she knows what she is talking about.”
