Praise for Back in Shape
"I am particularly glad that Marjorie Jaffe is continuing the spirit and content of the work which I began, and which we continued together. Her quick aptitude for training, diagnosis and advice has gained her sure, broad experience, which I know will be very useful for people who need exercises to correct back problems and for the general public as well. She is especially aware of how much harm, injury and discomfort can be caused when people exercise without understanding how their muscles are functioning."
Dr. Sonya Weber, founder of Columbia Presbyterian Posture & Back Care Clinic and originator of Kraus-Weber Physical Fitness Tests
Highest Rating (***) for Quality! "My studio is unlike most of the frenetic, impersonal studios in New York.' Ms. Jaffe said, and she was right . . . She reminded members of the class where each toe, arm and abdominal muscle should be in that exercise, and her manner was pleasant, even humorous. The exercises were done slowly and tended to flow into one another, but they were rigorous. These exercises would be helpful if you had common back problems, and they should also make the whole body more flexible and strong."
Janice Hopkins Tanne, New York Magazine
"Bravo, Ms. Jaffe! You have helped and graced the lives of those who have met you."
Jacques d'Amboise, Principle Dancer, New York City Ballet

Denise Marci/Literary Agent
"Marjorie has an innate sense of what will work for each individual, and can easily determine where to focus her attention. I feel stronger, straighter, and more confident in my appearance. I call it "fitness for life". Try it. You won't be disappointed."
Linda Segal/Fashion

"You have devoted yourself with great intelligence and understanding to the physiology of the human body and the benefits derived from exercise. And your book, in great detail, explores and illustrates your expertise . . . I am sure there are people who will relish every word and practice every suggested exercise."
Jacques d'Amboise, founder, National Dance Institute
"It's wonderful that you are providing a book that's easy to use and that works."

Minx Boren, National Lecturer, Creator, Your Nurturing Environment
"Looking good is great. Feeling good is even better. Women like me will tuck Marjorie Jaffe's MUSCLE MEMORY METHOD in our briefcases and take it to the office, on business trips and weekends away."

Ronnie Spector, Recording Artist and Entertainer
