Denise Simpson

Hailing from Chicago, IL, Denise Balfour Simpson is a AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor and ACE Certified Health Coach, having recently taught group fitness overseas in Jamaica and China. In addition to her passion for fitness and wellness, Denise has spent over 15 years working in higher education, has a PhD in higher education focused on athletic administration, and is an instructor at UNC Charlotte. Denise’s coaching philosophy is “living well is a lifestyle we practice daily. No day is perfect, but we stay well when we actively show up for ourselves and strive to do our best”. When not coaching, you can find Denise car/train/plane hopping around the world, hanging with partners in crime (her hubby and her double doodle), and running half-marathons.
