Biography

Denise has been involved in the health and fitness industry for over 18 years. In 2004 she founded Quality of Life Fitness after taking a leap of faith and transitioning from her career as a Corporate Human Resources professional for Fortune 500 companies. Her story begins with diagnosis of advanced scoliosis at the age of 12. Back surgery was the only option, which involved fusion of 11vertebrae and an extended period of recovery in a back brace. This prevented her from engaging in any physical activity which contributed to struggles with disordered eating, a negative body image and depression during her teenage years. As she began her steadfast journey in recovery Denise was committed to developing a balanced approach to fitness and nutrition as an adult. She began educating friends on the fundamentals of back health, body strength and flexibility and clean, mindful eating. She soon realized she had a gift for helping others realize the benefits of a strong physique over one that is "skinny." So, Denise set out to live her dream of helping people increase their self-confidence so they could improve the quality of their lives.

Today, Denise’s clients site her career transition as the source of her courage and motivation they admire. They say her style is that of a coach and cheerleader rather than a “drill sergeant.” In fact, the safe and supportive environment she creates is why they stick to their program. Denise’s mission is to provide individuals with ongoing education, motivation, guidance, and wellness programming that is specific to their individual needs. Denise says, “By making the commitment to invest in yourself and take time for self care, you will significantly improve the quality of your life. Attaining a healthy physique is a result of making healthy choices on a daily basis for a lifetime." She has a huge heart working with those who have struggled with disordered eating, depression and addiction.

An expert in her field, Denise holds certifications from the most rigorous credentialing organizations in the fitness industry. These include the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Denise's extensive Pilates training is through the Internationally respected Body Arts and Sciences (BASI). In addition, Denise is a Wellness Coach through Wellcoaches Corporation and has an MBA in Management from the California State University, San Marcos.
