F-I-T with Denny Fitness

Denny is a friendly and experienced fitness and wellness enthusiast with a passion for supporting individuals of all ages and abilities. With over 20 years of expertise, she is a Certified Personal Trainer through the NCCA-accredited National Council on Strength & Fitness (NCSF), a Senior Fitness Specialist, and a Certified Level 2 Adaptive Special Needs Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor through Strong Education. F-I-TLife offers a range of services tailored to individuals of all ages and abilities, including individual and small group personal training sessions, Zumba® dance fitness, strength training, and various other group fitness classes.

Music brings joy to everyone, and Denny’s love for dance blossomed from a young age, influenced by her Latin heritage where family gatherings were filled with good food, music, and dancing. Dance holds a special place in Denny’s heart, and during her time in New York City, she enjoyed vibrant nights at renowned venues like The Palladium, The Copacabana, and Limelight.

In 2004, Denny's dedicated five-day, 2-hour fitness routine was dramatically interrupted by a major car accident that left her confined to a wheelchair. Against all odds, she amazed her physicians by not only walking again but also hiking and dancing within six months. This life-altering experience taught her the transformative power of focus and resilience. Her love for dancing became the driving force behind her rehabilitation, shaping her perspective on the importance of mind, body, and spiritual health.

In 2007, Denny became a Licensed Zumba® instructor and, in 2008, she expanded her work to include fitness programs for people aged 55 and above, making her classes accessible to individuals of all ages and abilities.

Denny has partnered with a wide range of senior communities, including LeisureWorld of MD (Independent Living), Sunrise Senior Living (Bedford Court, Fox Hill), Cadence Living (Independent, Assisted, and Memory Care - Olney, MD), Bella's Senior Day Care (Silver Spring, MD), The Landing of Silver Spring (Assisted Living), and many others across the DC area.

Additionally, Denny worked with diverse groups, including Watershed Residential Community, EagleBank HQ, Compass, Inc., the University of MD, the FDA, the Department of Health and Human Services, Montgomery County Government, the Summer Concerts at the College Park University Town Center, the Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle Expo, the National Kidney Foundation, Laurel Beltsville Senior Center, and the College Park Woods Neighborhood Association, among others.

Currently, Denny offers both virtual and in-person classes and personal training sessions in Central Florida, continuing her mission to inspire individuals of all ages and abilities to lead healthier, more active lives.

More ABOUT Denny...

Denny lives by the mantra "Focus Is Transformational" and emphasizes that true change begins with an internal shift. Before any outward transformation can occur, we must recognize that we have the power to choose health, regardless of size. Denny specializes in creating mind, body, and spirit programs that empower participants to transform their lives by shifting their focus from what they don’t want to what they envision their ideal life to be. This transformation is made possible through the variety of classes she offers, coupled with the motivation her students experience when they commit to getting F-I-T with Denny

Denny’s programs emphasize that when you “Change your Focus - Change Happens" and "Focused Intention Transforms LIFE!"
