Trainer Deserves a Lot of Praise

* Thanks for your article (“Trainer Exercises Positive Attitude Toward Wellness,” July 15) about Hoag Hospital trainer Maralyn Lozano. Ms. Lozano realizes the importance of using encouragement, a positive attitude, kindness and understanding in working with cancer patients in her exercise classes.

As a former fitness and exercise instructor, I worked with some students who were overweight, and some obese. I realized that these students desperately needed positive feedback, lots of encouragement and a positive role model. You have done a fine job capturing the spirit of Maralyn Lozano and her commitment to her patients.
