Denise McCann's Biography

I’m a certified NASM - CPT (National Academy of Sports Medicine - Certified Personal Trainer) wellness and fitness expert. I’m relatively new to Chicago, yet I have been inspired enough to call it home.

I always wanted to be involved in the fitness industry, so I decided to take my destiny in my own hands. So four years ago, after raising four children, I decided to transform my body and become involved in figure competitions. So I went on to compete all over the Midwest, beating women half my age. I placed in every competition I entered and took 1st place in the 2006 "Best of the Midwest" competition. Those accomplishments inspired me to help others reach their personal goals and dreams. I truly believe that anyone can reach personal fitness goals, all they need is the right person guiding them.

My personal training regimen is unique, because I emphasize the importance of achieving overall wellness and focus on the need for a balanced healthy lifestyle. Hopefully my story will help motivate clients to reach goals and become the person they aspire to be. Once the client communicates their goals I in turn will develop a customized program for them to achieve their all they aspire to be. I focus on changing the routine so it doesn't become mechanical and monotonous. I want to keep the client engaged to avoid hitting any fitness plateaus.

I know exactly what it is like to be out of shape and unmotivated, but today I am a walking testament to what can be achieved. I love the lifestyle of what I preach about both diet and exercise. Having an individualized personal training program is key. What works for one person might not work for another depending upon personal fitness levels and abilities. I understand client’s limits and finds solutions to overcome them. That understanding coupled with teaching correct form to limit wasted movements and proper nutrition recommendations can make all the difference for success. "I embody my philosophy and my own convictions can motivate anyone".

"The easier the lifestyle change, the easier it is to make it a life habit".
