Denise Fattorini
Meet Her Smile Client Denise Fattorini.
Denise’s story is one of eleven featured in The Women Who Walked, our celebration of the women who walked the 2023 Her Smile Runway.
Denise’ journey with Adele goes back at least 15 years when she was looking for a beautician. To this day Adele still does Denise’s nails, waxing, and facials.
Back in 2013 Denise discovered that Adele was becoming a personal trainer and she was very interested and intrigued. She’s not sure why, but she said “yes, sign me up”.
This was huge for Denise to put herself first for a change. She is a very quiet person, self-conscious, has no coordination whatsoever and so this was entirely out of character for her. The big gyms frightened her. She really didn’t believe she was capable or good enough.
The night before she started training with Adele she was so nervous and anxious she barely slept. This appointment marked the beginning of her fitness journey.
Denise can clearly say it took her up to 6 months to stop having butterflies in her stomach before a PT session. She has been consistent with her fitness journey over the years, with 2 to 3 sessions per week with Adele.
Denise’s goal with Adele is to tone, sculpt, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Each workout is varied and tailored to her needs. Denise finds her sessions are always hard but always with an element of fun to keep her motivated.
Right from the first session with Adele, she knew she had the right person teaching her as she stands by her side ensuring that every weight or stretch, she does is carried out correctly ensuring that she has the best benefits with no injuries.
She also participated in the her Smile ten-day Spring in your Step challenge.
Adele also styled and did her makeup for a photo shoot with her vintage car that her husband Kane bought her.
Denise has been with Adele for over ten years and is truly thankful for what she has given her in the way of strength, confidence, and coordination. She has lost weight, gained definition, and has a lot more energy to play with her two grandsons.
Adele has helped Denise with her diet over the years giving her all the advice required to maintain a healthy eating lifestyle.
‘I have learned so much from Adele with her willingness to share her knowledge and expertise. Adele has been nothing but encouraging and supportive of all aspects of my well-being. I have made a friend for life.’
Denise says that exercise makes her happy. It makes her feel confident. It makes her feel that absolutely anything is possible as long as she sets her my mind to it. As with all health journeys, her fitness journey is never-ending.
Denise we are so proud of you.
