Testimonials
Several years ago, I engaged Denise to help me renew my exercise regimen. I was very out of shape, more than middle-aged, and really needed to build core strength so I could shed pounds, gain energy, and feel better overall. Denise seemed to know instinctively what to do in a way that was totally customized to my needs. She has a good command of and perspective on current training methods, physiology, health issues, and challenges. Given that she is a serious athlete herself, having completed several marathons, I trust her views, advice, and opinions. She also continued to vary the workouts, introducing new elements, which kept things fresh and challenging. Finally, Denise is really fun to work with and motivated me to keep going and working toward my goals. Denise is organized, personable, and client-focused. I recommend her without hesitation.

My wife Ruth and I have been working weekly for more than four years. We have thoroughly enjoyed the time we spend with her. She is highly professional, personable, and well-informed. Ruth and I are both retired and have some orthopedic issues. Denise is sensitive to our needs has suggested creative modifications to standard exercises, so that we derive good benefit without causing problems. Denise is a high-energy and enthusiastic person who takes good care of herself and is thus a good example of what she is trying to help build into her clients. We certainly intend to continue working with Denise and would recommend her highly to others.

Denise has helped me connect with an all-encompassing healthy lifestyle. After several months of working from home, I had gotten off track on my eating and exercise routine. She has helped me get back to eating better by offering healthy recipes, and a tracking tool for my food intake. She has designed an exercise program to accelerate my weight loss journey. We had weekly coaching sessions to tweak these items specifically for my lifestyle. Denise has great insight as to what works for each of her clients no matter where they are in their fitness journey. She has helped me get back on track and I continue to rely on her expertise week in and week out.
