Bio: Denise Geroux has a diverse background in massage therapy and bodywork, over 25 years training and teaching the martial arts, and is a seasoned endurance athlete having completed several marathons and ultra-marathons. In 2006, she learned to swim and has since completed nearly a dozen triathlons at Sprint, Olympic, and Half Ironman distances. An ACSM certified personal fitness trainer at Allstar Fitness, she strives to inspire, educate and encourage every athlete to perform at their personal best and blast through all their limitations.

Testimonials:

I don't consider myself much of an athlete. Just haven't been that motivated. Triathlons were definitely not on my radar. That was until I saw that my trainer Denise was coaching a Danskin team. "Do you think I could do it," I asked. "Of course you can." That's all I needed to here, because I knew with Denise's encouragement, I was going to start that race ready to do my best, and finish it with a smile on my face. That's the kind of coach she is. She can quickly evaluate your conditioning, work on your weaknesses, praise your strengths, and design a workout plan. But she does more than that. She somehow gets you to stretch and work on your spirit to take on challenges.

I'm not sure how she does it. But I would have to say the most amazing thing I have noticed about Denise is that she is so strong, and yet so gentle; so hardworking, and yet so playful; so serious, and yet so mischievous. I don't know else so yin and yang. I guess that's why she successful coaching so many different personalities. --Irene

I am writing about a 2008 Team Danskin Coach, Denise Geroux. As a 2007 Team Manager, I had the opportunity to meet Denise when she was my team's Assistant Coach and I witnessed the enthusiasm and athletic abilities she was able to share with our very large Danskin team.

Denise's physical prowess and determination were an inspiration. It was an enormous help for women to know how much progress Denise herself had made from her first triathlon to the new goals she made, trained for and met. And Denise's special humor helped to distract (when necessary), and enable each of us to laugh at ourselves - as well as celebrate our successes. --Susie
