Howling Heart Fitness Coach Denis - transparent

Denis Fitzpatrick

Coach

I grew up playing football and hurling (didn’t make county), played a bit of tennis and soccer, took up golf a few years ago and am currently trying to improve my weightlifting.

I have a degree in Sports and Exercise science and before joining the HH team I ran group fitness classes.

What I like about the type of training at HH, is that we all train together, any age and any level of fitness.

My background in sport started with camogie and football and later soccer with local clubs and college level.

I have always had an interest in sport and exercise and in 2010 I completed my BSc in Health and Leisure in Tralee IT.

Since finishing college I have worked in the leisure industry teaching a variety of classes including spinning, mobility and aqua aerobics classes.
