Ever since Madonna opened her own gym, people want to know where she learned her fitness regime.
Pat Manocchia is one of the people who trained Madonna over the years. Manocchia is head of La Palestra, a gym and center for preventative medicine in the upper West Side of Manhattan. With personal training and membership costing roughly $8,000 a year, this is a fitness center for the upper enucleate of New York City. John McEnroe and Liam Neeson train and work out at La Palestra, and Manocchia also trained and dated Julia Roberts in the 90s.
Manocchia released a book “Anatomy of Exercise: A Trainer’s Inside Guide to Your Workout” in 2009.
