Instant ResultsDennis has been training both of us for approximately 7 months and I personally have noticed a few key things throughout that time. I’ve got stronger in all areas, my mobility is increasing (which is a challenge in some areas such as hips), my knowledge of areas to focus on improving has increased dramatically and I’ve not been injured as much as I used to be. I don’ think this is a coincidence.
Dennis as a coach is awesome to work with. He is very friendly, extremely knowledgeable about all areas of CrossFit training, he is pedantic (in a good way as he never accepts shabby form) and does it all with good humor and heaps of encouragement. He knows when to push you, when to offer you a helping hand and has a great brain for understanding each athlete’s individual requirements - Adam & Ange Napper |
Great Strength Training CoachDennis has been a great Coach at helping me build my foundation in weight lifting and strength training. He has taught me the correct motor patterns with movements like squats, push press, cleans so that I feel comfortable under the bar, when I train on my own or in a Crossfit class. I feel more confident doing free weight training without injuring myself and my strength has increased tremendously, over the last five months we have been working together.
I love my programing with Dennis, because it is consistent, it is specific to my needs and goals but also flexible that if I am really having a particular problem on a day, then Dennis would modify it according to what feels good.
The best part about training with Dennis is that he really knows how to communicate with me and get me going. There are some days when I feel demotivated and he knows exactly how to get back into keep me going and not let me get lazy. - Leslie Ber |
Exceptional CoachDennis worked with me for roughly four months, while I was learning all the barbell movements and doing metcon. He’s an exceptional coach employing toughness and motivation while encouraging as required. He quickly identifies weaknesses and suggests improvements and his knowledge encompasses both fitness and diet - Darragh Riordan |
Successful GoalsDennis has a very quiet but firm way of explaining how to achieve aspects of his training. He is very respectful of where people are coming from and has the ability to adapt his focus on the needs of his clients. It was easy to goal set and achieve these goals in a comparatively short period of time. Each milestone was celebrated and at no time did I feel there was anything but respect for even the smallest of goals set between us - Francesca Storr |
Excellent Trainer and Great ResultsI have been Dennis' client for over 6 months. I have had injuries and other health problems, which made it more challenging for me to train. However, I have had an outstanding experience with Dennis. He was patient, helped me improve my mobility, was super flexible in providing me various exercise movements that would build my strength and still allow me to recover from injuries. In the meantime, he helped me modify my diet and I was able to loose some body fat and achieve a more toned and lean physique, despite my physical challenges. I love his integrative approach and the detail and specific approach he had with my sessions. Everything, in sync, felt to work miracles. Best trainer in NYC. - Bev |
