TESTIMONIALS

He is inspirational, knowledgeable, and attentive! He takes no prisoners!

Robert Brace taught a Masterclass last year at my annual women’s conference, Leading Women Defined (LWD) in Miami. In a short 90 minutes, he focused on the importance of self-care and showed us great exercise routines. After that class, the women were clamoring to have individual instruction by Robert in NYC.
