I met Dena Anne Weiner 5 years ago at the Ms. Fitness USA Nationals event in Las Vegas. I was a spectator and came to watch, planning on competing the following year but having no idea how to do it. Dena placed 6th overall that year (I thought she deserved a top 5 placing). I congratulated her in the hall after the competition and she was so friendly! She asked me where I was from and if I had competed before. I told her I didn’t but would love it if she had any tips for me. She gave me her card and told me to call her. I was so excited! I couldn’t wait to call the following week. She didn’t disappoint, she not only gave me valuable advice on competing in this crazy world of fitness, but she coached me on Nutrition and was there for me every step of the way. She gave me tips on how to improve my poise and routines. She went far above and beyond the help of a friend, she became a mentor and I will be forever grateful to her for the love and time she selflessly dedicated to me and countless other girls. Since then, I have competed every year using her timeless advice. She is a true champion and has a beautiful heart that comes out in her enthusiasm for the sport and everyone involved in it.

I met Dena at the gym, and was very impressed with her fitness level, and positive optimistic attitude. Dena worked with me to help to break through to the next fitness level, and helped me to lose weight, and gain in the areas of strength, cardio and flexibility. She is an amazingly versatile trainer and fun to work with!

"If you are looking for the perfect personal trainer…that would be Dena Weiner. She is a real joy to work with and brings enthusiasm with her that makes working out fun. She always gives me a variety of exercises that makes what used to be a boring process actually stimulating and enjoyable. She can always tell me how an exercise is working for me, and explains the process in simple terms so I can understand so I can concentrate on how to perform it without being confused. Dena will provide you with workouts that will give you the quick results that you are looking for while making your exercise program so much fun. Her workouts incorporate strength training, cardio, correct form, nutrition, and flexibility in a variety of ways so that they never become boring. Dena’s knowledge, professionalism and credentials are so very impressive, but her personal attention and her cheerful, caring manner are unbeatable. Her energy and enthusiasm seem to be contagious as she coaches me to do my exercises properly and cheers me on to meet my fitness goals Dena is an absolute delight to workout with, and I highly recommend her. She is a fantastic person and an excellent trainer and friend who will design your exercise program to meet your specific fitness goals. I know that I could never obtain the same results without Dena’s guidance, encouragement and support. Thank you, Dena, for accompanying me on my journey to become a happier, healthier and stronger person."

I have always admired Dena from afar; wondering how she juggled all the demands in her life. She ran a very successful business, worked out 3 to 4 hours a day, competed at World Championships in fitness shows and STILL managed to be at all of her three sons' sporting events! It wasn't until I spent time with her that I really came to appreciate this dynamo.
I originally met with her as a one-time thing to ask about some time management techniques. Within an hour, I was committing to meet with her every month as a life coach!
Dena not only immediately identified the larger issues I was struggling with, but also offered specific solutions and tangible, attainable goals that she outlined for me. The topics expanded from the specific questions I had to the larger aspect of how I was handling all my affairs-mentally, physically, and emotionally.
While Dena's vast knowledge of fitness and nutrition are impressive enough, and though she has proven herself as a great mother, businesswoman and competitive athlete at the highest levels, the thing that makes working with Dena so powerful is that she makes me believe that I really can achieve all of the goals and dreams that I have for my life, no matter the obstacles. As she likes to say, "Excuses are just stepping stones that move you further away from your goals".
She is an encourager in the truest sense of the word- "one who inspires with courage and hope".
As a busy working mother of 5, I have no spare time to spend pursuing activities that do not directly benefit myself or my family. I can unequivocally state that working with Dena is the greatest investment I can make!

I have know and trained with Dena Weiner for the past 6 years. Being a
National fitness competitor with both Ms Fitness and Fitness America Pageant, Dena has been an integral part of my training and success both on the national and world fitness stage. I directly attribute my fitness progress to her weight training expertise, nutritional counseling and overall emotional motivation.
There were many years that I contemplated retiring from competing in competitive fitness. I felt too old, too tired, too busy, too injured to continue. Dena was able to work with me to encourage and lift my competitive spirit each and every time. She inspired me both by her training knowledge and her lifestyle examples. She is one fitness professional who “lives and breaths what she teaches”.
I highly recommend Dena Weiner as a teacher, trainer, motivator, and mentor for any and all fitness goals.

I met Dena at the fitness show, where she was judging me. After short introduction I felt a great energy and positive attitude. I liked her idea to try competing as a couple. Two months later we started training on our first fitness routine and made plans for upcoming competing season. Since then we have done over 20 shows on national and international level. Thanks to Dena's great personality and positive energy we have always lots of fun when we get together for the practice or for the show. She is very focused and hard working person who always reaches all the goals she sets up and she never gives up.she is also very caring and generous .we have known each other only few years but we became a great friends. I admire her as a fitness competitor but most of all as a person. She is always ready to help in every situation. She cares about others in professional as much as in personal life.

The first time I met Dena was 35 years ago at a gymnastics competition. Fearless and dynamic were the first thoughts that came to mind after witnessing her performance. Our lives have been intertwined ever since that first meeting. We have continued to cross paths as college gymnast and now as fitness professionals. The determination and tenacity that I witnessed years ago is still present today in all facets of her life. It is evident in her motivation and desire to help others achieve their personal best in being fit and healthy.
