One of the most power move i’ve ever made in my bodybuilding journey was hiring Dee. It is true when they say you get what you pay for. Im very frugal in general but I told myself that if I want to succeed, I want the best of the best. Dee is very well known in the fitness/bodybuilding industry with 40+ years experience. Dee has got me through my 1st season like a pro. I’ve never been one to glam up or let alone wear heels. Literally I look like a baby reindeer on heels! But with her posing expertise, she made me feel confident and look like I know what I’m doing.Dee has been like a 2nd mom to me. She challenges me every day. Whenever someone mentions that their coach is “super sweet” and pats them on the back for doing a good job, I don’t envy them because I need me some tough love where I’m told what is really expected of me and I only want to hear the real and raw feedback. Dee can be strong and intense at times and that’s what I need - someone as crazy and passionate as me! You won’t regret hiring her as she really looks out for your best interest, both physically and mentally. There is a reason we call her Mama Dee. She loves what she does and has a big heart for people, especially her clients. She doesn’t treat you as a number, but as a whole individual person - which set her apart from typical coaches out there.All I can say is, I never had any experience or background in bodybuilding before but in a very short amount of time, Dee has got me through 3 shows with top placings. I can’t wait to see what we will accomplish on our next season!!!

I came to Dee the first time I got on stage to help me with posing. As someone with no talent, she was extremely helpful. I learned how important stage presence is in the whole process.Fast forward almost 4 years, I was ready to get back on stage right before my 40th birthday. I had been working out consistently for a couple years, and had discovered how helpful eating carnivore was for me. I reached out to Dee, because I knew she was the best in the business. I hadn’t done a full prep with her previously, and her process made so much difference. She made a meal plan to fit within my carnivore ways, and pushed me in the gym to help build those glutes - something I didn’t think was possible.Her support, encouragement, and excitement for the process helped me remain focused and persistent. I got on stage in much better shape than my first round 4 years ago, and I actually felt READY this time.Before stepping on stage, I already felt like I’d won. I’d met and surpassed my goal with Dee’s coaching. Taking home a 1st and 3rd place trophy were icing on the cake.Dee offers so much value to her clients, not just in training and health, but as a wonderful human being.

Dee! Today, I am one week out (Sept 1st) from the 212lb Masters World Championships in Pittsburgh, PA. My last show ever, and as I lay here reflecting, I just wanted to message you to say Thank You.I’ve learned so much from you, and I am so honored to say that I got to train with you and to have had the opportunity to forge a relationship with you that I will never forget.I look my best ever, and I plan to go out on Top! Thank you for being a part of my success now and forever. I’ve learned so much from you. Some bodybuilding. And so much more, life knowledge and wisdom! Thank you, Dee I love you! 🙏🏼♥️👊🏼

IIWT (Intense Intermittent Weight Training) is amazing; it perfectly encapsulates everything you do! I love the holistic approach. As I've always said, you're not just my coach—you're my life coach. Your unique style of training is spot on. After decades of training, you’ve truly developed your own distinctive approach and personality. I’m excited to put in the years of work and implement IIWT as I was taught.I'm already seeing results with some of my clients, and it’s incredibly rewarding! Of course, I’m proud to be a part of Team Dee. I can't thank you enough for all the support; you've definitely changed my life. I'll never forget the day you told me to get into personal training when I moved here. Coming from someone with decades of experience, it gave me so much confidence. Your advice to follow my passion and let the rest follow was invaluable. I took the risk and gave it my all, and I’m so happy I did.I love you, Dee. I truly mean that. I can’t fail—I’ve got to make you proud!

The IIWT has introduced me to intense and effective workouts that have taken my fitness journey to a new level. Paired with Denise’s undeniable expertise, I am confidently getting the results I want.

Going into this, I had a feeling that I belonged in Wellness. But since this was my 1st prep and we didn't know how my body will look like after extreme dieting because bodybuilding is not about how lean you are but the muscles left when you get lean. And it usually takes a year to build lean muscles and I was just 6 months since I started this journey. But lo and behold, my quadz stuck with me 😂4 wks out, my coach said "you should do Wellness or even both". After having just practiced posing bikini, I had to cram and learn how to pose Wellness as well. And they're way different from each other 😂 but what can I say, I like complicated 🤷‍♀️Winning 🏆 in Bikini Open was just a bonus that we didn't really shoot for because we knew my quadz would dominate. But because I have the greatest coach ever, she knows how to use the magic of illusion ✨ to "downsize" my legs 😂 Very humbled that I won 🥇 in Wellness True Novice - qualifying me for Nationals on first show as a natural. But we need to grow first baby 🥰

Can’t do this with your. @teamdees702, the confidence you’ve given me through posing and mentorship has proven to be invaluable to me. Thank you. Time to grow!!

Yeah 2 gyms gave me an offer at the same time actually. Guess I was pretty personable 😂 but hey dee couldn’t have done it without u giving me confidence. You’ve done so much for me. More than you know. And not just learning lifts and technique! Definitely my life coach lol I can’t put a price on that! Thankful to have you in my life! 🙏

I’m more thankful for you and the person you brought out in me. Positive things about me are said to me and I don’t often see them, but NOW I do! Forget what the rest say, I AM a bad ASS! And Dee says so💕 much love and appreciation to you.Thank you for seeing so much in me and caring for me and my heart that much, to help me make the intelligent decision to forgo the Las Vegas show. What actually convinced me the most was that you said I was a “National Level athlete” in other words stay on THAT level and nothing beneath me. I don’t need to tell you because you recognized it, but I did EVERYTHING you told me to and then some. I put everything I had into it and spared nothing. For ME, but you know what? on all my preps I always did the same but NOBODY, no coach, has ever highlighted me, spoke about me or was downright proud of me AND let me know it. I am SO grateful that the Angels came together and had our paths cross, you are not only an AMAZING coach, you are an AMAZING women who truly loves this sport and makes it so that your athletes do too. You taught me techniques, tips, and cues that nobody else ever has, and more importantly you taught me things about myself with an emphasis on self acceptance and admiration. I FINALLY, am awe struck with what I accomplished, I LOVE the stage shots from NPC online, and YES just like some smart women told me………I BELONGED THERE! The Amateur OLYMPIA!! I did that, WE did that! It’s not pro status YET so don’t right me off, because WE will be PREPPING again-37 weeks to go, but who’s counting. Thank you so much again- See you after Mexico

Before meeting Dee, my days were shrouded in constant worry and unease. My name is Hannah, and for the longest time, I suffered from crippling anxiety. It affected my relationships, work, and overall well-being. Sleepless nights were the norm, and my energy levels during the day were perpetually low.A chance encounter led me to Dee, a fitness trainer known for not just physical transformations, but emotional ones too. I remember our first meeting: she looked into my eyes and said, “We’re going to channel your anxiety into something positive.”True to her word, Dee introduced me to a simple yet effective routine: every morning, before the world could plant its worries into my mind, I started with 15, eventually progressing to 20 minutes of cardio. It wasn't just about weight loss or fitness, but as Dee explained, about increasing dopamine and serotonin — the "happy hormones" in our brains.The first few days were challenging. My anxiety often made excuses, but with Dee's consistent encouragement, I persisted. Within just six weeks, not only did I see a reduction of 2 inches on my waistline, but more importantly, I began feeling a transformation inside.My productivity at work skyrocketed. Tasks that seemed monumental before were now completed with ease. Sleep, which had eluded me for so long, became peaceful and restorative. And an unexpected yet delightful change was the enhancement in my intimate relationship; my sex life became better, more passionate, and intimate.Reflecting on my journey, the physical benefits of the routine Dee introduced are evident, but it’s the emotional and mental transformation that has been truly life-altering. Every morning, as I lace up my shoes and prepare for my cardio, I'm reminded of how movement has been my medication, and Dee, my guiding light.
