DENISE ROUS

Hi, I’m Denise Rous, and I’m more than just a personal trainer—I’m living proof that transformation is possible, no matter how dark the road may seem.

My journey hasn’t been easy. For years, I battled depression, anxiety, and alcoholism. At my lowest, I weighed 200 pounds and felt completely disconnected from the woman I once was. One day, I looked in the mirror and made the decision to change. Through sheer determination, I dropped down to 135 pounds. But even after the weight loss, I struggled with loose skin, lack of muscle tone, and losing my curves. That’s when I decided it was time to take my fitness and nutrition to the next level.

Just as I was getting serious about building strength, life hit me hard. I had a seizure that led to a shocking diagnosis: a brain tumor. The depression and anxiety came flooding back. Doctors told me I needed surgery. I was scared, exhausted, and overwhelmed—but I made a promise to myself and my husband that once I recovered, I would give my health everything I had.

In November 2024, I underwent brain surgery. The recovery was intense. I lost my speech and couldn’t train like I wanted to. But by January 2025, I began regaining my voice and slowly easing back into workouts. Since then, I’ve been laser-focused—fueling my body with clean nutrition, training hard, and rebuilding from the inside out. Today, I weigh 150 pounds, and I’ve never felt stronger.

I became a personal trainer because I’ve walked through fire—and I came out stronger. I want to help others do the same. My passion lies in working with moms who feel stuck in their “mom body,” unsure how to prioritize themselves. As a mother of two, I get it. But I also know that taking care of ourselves is the best gift we can give our families.

If you’re ready to take that first step toward feeling confident, energized, and empowered—I’m here for you. Let’s talk. Join me for a free consultation and let’s start your journey together.
