CogniFit Brain Fitness Programs Really Work
Nothing speaks louder than success. Here are just a few excerpts from the letters and emails that we've received about how well CogniFit brain training programs have worked for the people who use them.
'Use it or lose it' was my personal motto for years as I worked to stay in top physical condition. Now I am maintaining my mental sharpness using CogniFit Personal Coach. It uses the latest science and technology to design a personalized program to help me train 14 important cognitive functions including attention, memory and hand-eye coordination

I recently went through chemotherapy and CogniFit Personal Coach has helped me enormously. After I began my treatments, my mind was in a real fog. Now I feel sharper and I’m thinking clearly. I experienced a real boost in my short-term memory, which wasn’t that great before the chemo, but now is better than ever.
I like to do my training in the morning because it’s a good way to get my day going. The graphics are terrific and the exercises always seem to be challenging me at exactly the level I need. One thing I really appreciate about the program is that it provides me a visual image of exactly how well I am doing.
—Carol, 58, New York
Although I’m in excellent health, I have a history of MS in my family, so naturally I’m concerned about doing whatever I can right now to maintain and improve my cognitive fitness. Working out with CogniFit Personal Coach not only keeps me mentally alert and performing at my top capacity, it also makes me feel confident about my future health and well-being. The exercises are always challenging and the personal feedback I get after every training session gives me valuable information about my strengths and weaknesses.
—Eileen, 38, Springfield
I work as a Nurse-Anesthetist; I’m very active and I love reading. My work requires multi-tasking, fast-paced assimilation of information, and vigilance, so CogniFit Personal Coach was made for me! The brain training exercises are challenging but always fun. I really look forward to doing them. My mind now feels exercised and alert in areas that were a little sleepy and I also feel sharper in general. I plan to keep exercising my mind with the CogniFit Personal Coach just like I exercise the rest of my body. Thanks for an amazing product!
—Susan, 47, San Jose
Just a note to let you know that although I have just started using CogniFit Personal Coach, I have found it very easy to follow. I also appreciate the information about my progress after each session as well as how each exercise can be applied to daily life. I am looking forward to hearing from my personal coach as I proceed through the training cycles.
—Molly, 51, Austin
At first I was apprehensive about taking the personal assessment because I was afraid it would be like an IQ test and that I might feel stupid. But now that I have started the program I really appreciate the fact that I’m getting training that’s created especially for me. Since my mother has Alzheimer's, I'm hoping that using CogniFit Personal Coach will prevent or, at the very least, delay any decline in my cognitive skills.
—Peggy, 47, Sacramento
I use CogniFit Personal Coach as often as I can and enjoy every minute of it! I love it when I come home from work and the house is empty, so that I can give it my full concentration. Doing the exercises regularly makes me feel like I am doing my part to stay as sharp as possible and it contributes to my plan of staying fit and healthy all my life. I have been telling everyone I know about CogniFit Personal Coach because I’ve become a true believer.
—Diana, 43, Wilmington
Both my husband and I are using CogniFit Personal Coach and we love it! The exercises are fun and interesting. I always do a few before I start editing David's novels or preparing query letters for publishers. The exercises give me a big boost in my confidence.
