Success Stories

I am stronger and more confident in my body. I can fully participate in activities with my family.

"I felt really out of shape with low energy. I was having a hard time keeping up with my family when it came time to do any type of fun, outdoor activity such as hiking, kayaking, etc. and often found myself on the sidelines watching everyone else. read more...

I was sceptical about starting training because I didn't think I would stick with any exercise program. Especially because I experienced a lot of pain in my feet during exercise from prior surgeries. Denise was able to teach me the importance of correct form to prevent injuries. She listened when I said that certain movements hurt my feet, and provided me with alternate exercises. She encouraged and pushed me to increase the amount of weight and reps.
I am much stronger now than before I started. I used to have a lot of foot, back and neck pain and I rarely experience any of those now. I can easily carry large bags of dog food and other heavy items. I have moved my daughter in and out of college dorms and apartments, including carrying a dorm fridge by myself.


My life has greatly improved. I am stronger and more confident in my body. I can fully participate in activities with my family. I have also been able to participate in more volunteer activities as I have more strength and energy."

My husband’s doctor refers to him as the “Miracle Man” because of his excellent progress. Denise is a vital part of that progress.

“Prior to working with Denise my husband and I had worked with other personal trainers and had a basic knowledge of how to use the circuit machines. Even though we were not clients, Denise would offer tips and suggest corrections/alternatives to improve our workouts. read more...

We finally decided to work with Denise because she takes time to listen to her clients and address their specific needs. After we had been working with Denise for a while, my husband had a massive stroke. Denise has the expertise to modify exercises so that we could improve our strength, balance, and health safely. In addition, she provides tips, stretches, and exercises that we can do to improve our quality of life. We are now using heavier weights and doing more complex exercises than we were at first. When Dick’s back is bothering him, Denise quickly modifies the exercises to accommodate his needs. She is exceptionally talented!

My husband’s doctor refers to him as the “Miracle Man” because of his excellent progress. Denise is a vital part of that progress. We have worked out with many personal trainers in the past, and Denise is the best for many different reasons!"

In addition to my improved bone density, I feel stronger, particularly in my upper extremities.

My body strength was pretty weak, and I was anxious to find and start an exercise program that would build both muscle and bone strength. A friend of mine suggested her personal trainer, at first, I was afraid that I would not have the discipline to stick with the program, but Denise’s positive vibe and expert training was encouraging. read more...

Denise made a schedule that was easy to stick with and allowed enough time between sessions to ensure that I was ready to get back to work when the next time came.  Prior to working with Denise, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis for which I had been taking various medications over the course of many years.  Within 6 months of working with Denise, I had a dexa scan revealing that my bone density had improved to the level of osteopenia. I attribute this improvement in my health status to Denise’s expert training.  She has a real gift of putting together an exercise program that works multiple muscle groups at once, taking advantage of every minute of every session she conducts.

In addition to my improved bone density, I feel stronger, particularly in my upper extremities."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be in shape to begin?

No!  Whatever shape you are in, is the perfect place to start. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you progress to where you want to be.

What equipment is needed?  

The short answer is none.  We can start with body weight and be creative with household items to provide resistance.  Depending on the training medium you choose, I will provide the equipment, or I can provide recommendations on what type of equipment would work best.

Will you laugh at me?

I will never laugh at you, but I will laugh with you and rejoice with you as you achieve your goals.

Am I locked into a contract?

No.  There is no long-term contract.

Why is this better than going to the gym?

Lose the self-consciousness, forget about sharing sweaty equipment...I offer personalized training around your schedule...no driving to the gym required!

What if I have health/mobility issues?

We will conduct an assessment of health and mobility to identify any overactive or under active areas, and then create a personalized plan that is appropriate for you now, adjusting as things change and improve.
