With over 12 years of experience as a Fitness Professional/Coach, Dennys’s training program is designed to challenge you both physically and mentally, pushing you outside of your comfort zone.
Dennys has demonstrated perseverance, determination, and resilience in all areas of his life. Growing up in NYC’s child services system, he went on to become a collegiate football player, a two-time NYC Golden Gloves Champion, a finalist in the NYC Metros, Empire State Games, and Eastern Olympic events, and a professional boxer for two years.
These experiences have shaped Dennys into the hardworking individual he is today, and he is fully committed to the success and growth of every person he trains. Dennys strives to inspire and motivate others to pursue their dreams and reach their fullest potential.
Having worked with professional athletes from teams such as the Minnesota Twins (MLB), Timberwolves (NBA), Vikings (NFL), and Wild (NHL) at Under Armour/IMG Academy, Dennys brings a wealth of expertise to his coaching. After seven years as a Nike Master Trainer and 9.5 years teaching at The Fhittingroom, Dennys remains dedicated to expanding his knowledge of functional fitness, continually advancing his education, training, and certifications across various modalities.
Outside of training clients or programming, Dennys enjoys watching all sports (especially his favorite teams: the NY Yankees, Brooklyn Nets, and Florida State Seminoles), coaching young athletes, and training fighters in both skills and strength & conditioning. Having always been an athlete, Dennys stays active and competitive, whether he’s boxing, playing flag football, softball, or basketball, practicing yoga, meditating, or hiking.
