About me
About Denise Kirtley
My name is Denise and I'm just like most Midlife Women.
At age 49, my health, energy, and wellbeing decline while simultaneously seeing my weight skyrocket. Hormonal changes brought on by Perimenopause had taken a toll.
One day, I realized my fingers had grown too large for my wedding rings and I had to remove them...and this was my "aha" moment.
That day, I became FED UP and I changed my life forever. I started tracking macros and weightlifting the same day in August, 2020.
Those first few months were HARD. Trainings that should have taken me 45 minutes, took me 2 hours. It was exhausting. And, it was UNCOMFORTABLE. But I KEPT GOING...
In 9 months, I lost 50 pounds
In 1 year, I was unrecognizable
In 27 months, I competed in bodybuilding
Through transformation, I found both myself and my life’s purpose; helping Women achieve the fullest versions of themselves in midlife and beyond. I plan to help change this narrative of decline as we age...because there is another way.
We get to choose how we age.
My Fitness Transformation Company is called Rebellion Body and we help Women get strong.
I believe we are in this Midlife Journey together...and we’re a Sisterhood.
One I'm proud to be a part of.
