FIT by Denise
MISSION
I am extremely passionate when it comes to helping people reach their full potential at any age. Strength training is a powerful source of healing and my clients understand that the benefits go way beyond just the physical appearance. Regular weight bearing exercise improves hormone function, mental health, balance, mobility, bone density, sleep, immune function as well as muscle strength and weight loss. The benefits are endless.
With such a diverse number of cliental, I strategically personalize the sessions to each of their fitness levels and goals. This allows my clients to feel comfortable and motivated to succeed at any age.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Allison
I have been working with Denise for the last three years and have seen a huge difference in my physical strength in that time. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience in physical and nutritional well being, and is able to adapt exercises according to each client's fitness level. She encourages and challenges her clients, and brings a positive energy that makes working out very fun. I highly recommend Denise.
Kim
Over the years I've had two knee replacements. Denise modified the exercises for me and I still got a great workout. She knows how to train people like myself who've had injuries and is very knowledgeable of how to work with them. Despite my challenges, I've been training with Denise for over 11 years and I've been able to stay fit into my fifties!
Michele
Denise is an amazing teacher who is so encouraging and so helpful when it comes to losing weight! I took part in a couple of her weight loss challenges that really inspired me to keep pressing on to my goal of losing 40 pounds and staying healthy. I love kickboxing and so her classes are a perfect fit for me.
