Beyond Fitness Founder Monika Pawluskiewicz Nominated for Best Fitness Trainer in Newport County
We have some exciting news to share! Coach Monika Pawluskiewicz has been nominated for Best Fitness Trainer in Newport Life Magazine’s 2026 Best of Newport County Awards.
For a local fitness professional who has spent more than 20 years helping people work toward their health and fitness goals, this nomination is a meaningful moment. And while recognition is always exciting, what makes this one especially special is knowing that someone in our community took the time to put Monika's name forward.
At Beyond Fitness, we know that the work happens in the everyday moments: showing up for a workout when you'd rather stay home, getting stronger one session at a time, making changes to your routine, and finding the confidence to keep going. Sometimes that means personal training, sometimes it's a group class, and sometimes it's simply having someone in your corner who believes you can do more than you think.
That's what Monika's work has always been about. Not being the “best,” but helping people feel stronger, healthier, more confident, and more connected to themselves along the way. Over the years, Monika has worked with people at different stages of their fitness journeys throughout Newport County. From one-on-one personal training and group workouts to sunrise sessions on the beach, each experience brings its own goals, challenges, and small victories.
Being nominated for Best Fitness Trainer is a lovely reminder of the relationships built along the way, and we're incredibly grateful to be part of a community that recognizes and supports local professionals.
