Meet Dennys

With over 12 years of experience as a fitness professional and coach, Dennys’ training approach is designed to challenge both the body and mind—pushing individuals beyond their comfort zone to unlock their full potential.

Dennys has demonstrated perseverance, determination, and resilience throughout his life. Growing up in New York City’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 fuel his commitment to the success and growth of every person he trains. His goal is to inspire and motivate others to pursue their goals and reach their full potential.

Dennys has also worked with professional athletes from organizations such as the Minnesota Twins (MLB), Minnesota Timberwolves (NBA), Minnesota Vikings (NFL), and Minnesota Wild (NHL) while coaching at Under Armour/IMG Academy. After seven years as a Nike Master Trainer and nearly a decade teaching at The Fhitting Room, Dennys continues to expand his expertise in functional fitness through ongoing education and training across multiple disciplines.

Outside of training clients and writing programs, Dennys enjoys watching sports—especially his favorite teams, the New York Yankees, Brooklyn Nets, and Florida State Seminoles. He also spends time coaching young athletes and working with fighters in both skills training and strength and conditioning. A lifelong athlete, Dennys stays active and competitive through boxing, flag football, softball, basketball, yoga, meditation, and hiking.
