Members that Inspire Us


Marissa Moniz joined Bristol Total Fitness in June 2016. She started working out at BTF during her summer breaks from college. After graduating, she now comes to the gym consistently 5 – 6 days a week. Marissa has recently grown to appreciate HIIT workouts. This summer, she lost 10 lbs. by increasing the intensity of her workouts and tracking her food. Marissa’s favorite fitness journey quote is by Henry Ford: “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t – you’re probably right.” It’s all in your mindset. Marissa says, “You can do anything you set your mind to if you believe in yourself.” Congratulations!
Ruben DeMello joined Swansea Total Fitness in January 2018 with the goal of increasing strength and getting overall healthier. He trains with Tony Quintanilha who has coached him to be in the best shape of his life. In addition to his physical strength, Ruben has also learned that “how you eat is just as important as how you train in achieving your fitness goals.” Ruben knew he was getting impressive results when he went on a mountain bike trip with a group of men 10 years his junior and was able to keep up the entire ride. His motivational quote is from Bruce Lee, “The successful warrior is the average man with laser-like focus.” Congratulations!
Joann Durfee has been a Seekonk Total Fitness member since March of 2017. She has always been into fitness and enjoys taking Spin classes along with working out with Walter’s Women of Steel group training. Eating healthier, maintaining balance, flexibility and muscle tone is Joann’s main goal now. When she’s not in the gym, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends along with bowling, walking, and yoga. Congratulations!
Patrick Mendonca joined Dartmouth Total Fitness in June 2018. He attends the gym 4-6 days per week and especially enjoys his training sessions with Personal Trainer, Teeana Rivera. Since the start of his training, Patrick’s arthritis pain has decreased, he’s lost weight, his sleep has improved and he has gained more self-confidence! A fitness tip Patrick would like to share is, “Don’t ignore your health problems – keep fighting and if you need help, get a personal trainer.” Teeana has changed his life in just a few months and he believes that all fitness levels can benefit by coming to DTF. Congratulations!
