Howdy.
​
It looks like you like my website content.
​
Or stalking me! Or maybe a bit of both. *wink*
​
For sure you're looking for a qualified personal trainer!
​
So ya, I do appreciate you clicking through to my personal page.
​
It gives me a chance to introduce myself and have you get to know your trainer a bit more.
​
It ensures we're a good fit. And that's important.
​
Your visit is long overdue. I hear you've been searching the net for a personal trainer.
But not just any trainer...you're looking for the best personal trainer in Chicago.​
​
'Cause you've probably tried to get fit on your own every imaginable way at this point.
​
Are you trying to transform your body, beautify your shape, lose weight, build lean functional muscle and gain strength, increase fitness, or improve metabolic health?
Maybe you need to fix an injury, or you want to have a healthy pregnancy.
​
Do you want to get into fabulous shape for your wedding?
Wanna get better at your sport, or try a Muay Thai Kickboxing workout?
​
Cool! I specialize in all these health & fitness goals...and more!
​
​But you're not here for my brag-a-thon.
​
So here's the short version...
​
I gained my formal education at Northern Michigan University, and Central Michigan University where I studied studied Corporate Fitness, Exercise Science & Nutrition.
​
So I have that science-based fitness education in my back pocket that I use in every training session.
Knowing the human body and how it functions helps a lot.
​
Trust me, it's a game-changer.
​
I started personal training clients back in 1986. Ya, that's remarkable 38 years as a personal trainer.
I'm a highly qualified holistic certified personal trainer specializing in weight loss with a deep expertise in nutrition coaching, metabolic health, strength & conditioning, cardiorespiratory fitness, flexibility & mobility, pre & post-natal, and injury correction personal training programs for beginners to pro athletes.
​
I help male & female Thai nationals and driven Expat professionals boost their workouts, train with precision, accuracy, intention, and efficiency, maximize outcomes, and achieve their fitness goals faster with better results with proven systems, blueprints, and strategies for success.
I've been kickin' ass, and taking names since then!
​
Here's the stats:
​
-
38 years of personal training experience
-
More than 1,948 clients trained
-
1,948 goals achieved across 142 unique goals
-
63,360 training hours performed (as of Oct. 2024)
-

-
Named "one of the 20 best personal trainers in the world" in 2020 by the Institute of Personal Trainers
​
The numbers don't lie.
​
And now I continue my mission to get as many Chicago peeps in shape as I can.
​
But enough about me.
​
I wanna know more about you and your fitness goals.
​
More importantly, about what's frustrating you...what's tripping you up from getting your dream body and ultimate health.
​
And...

HERE'S A LITTLE "WHITE LIE"
This isn't really an "about Dennis" page.
​
Because spending my time filling this page up with humble brags would be stupidly selfish.
​
So instead, I wanna make this page about YOU...
​
Listen, getting fit can be hard. Especially doing it by yourself.
​
I would liken it to walking up hill in a snow storm (both ways!) to get to work...only to find out there's a Grab driver in a luxury sedan parked in front of your condo waiting to take you there.
​
And that's especially true when you approach it like most people do.
​
Through trial and error (mostly error).
​
By hoping and praying.
​
By stumbling and trying to figure it all out by themselves.
​
I call this "guesswork".
​
Also known as fitness hell.
​
It's cold, and snowy in there...like "Chicago in January" kind of cold.​
​
Humor aside...this really isn't about me.
​
​"Which ultimately, leads me to you...
​
You're reading this right now because your health, fitness, and body aren't where you want it to be.
​
Or maybe you're making progress towards your goals, but want better results, faster.
​
More weight loss...like, down 10kg. in 3 months.
​​
More lean muscle and functional strength.
​
More flexibility and mobility...like being able to touch your toes without waking up the neighbors.
​
More energy and better fitness levels.​
​
Have a faster metabolism and finally lose the gut.
​
Fitter, stronger, sexier.
​
More "You look great, did you lose weight? You look 10 years younger" compliments from your friends.
​
More "WOW moments" when you look in the mirror and love your body.
​
More of the incredible health & fitness improvements that a personal trainer can help you achieve faster, and better with lasting results.
​
Whatever fitness goal it is for you...
​
What if I offer up a smart suggestion...
WHAT IF THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO GET FIT
What if I could remove the guesswork for you...
​
And end the frustration.
​
What if you had a proven personal training roadmap with systems and strategies to fast-track your workout results?
​
Well, that's the exact reason why I went to University for Exercise Science & Nutrition and became a professional personal trainer!
​
To help people get fit fast using a science-based approach with a training system so good, I can guarantee results..
​
Train with the perfect holistic training program.
​
Crush every rep, set and workout.
​
You see, everything I and my team of personal trainers do at Dennis Romatz Fitness is designed with precision, accuracy, and a ruthless focus on results.
​
I'm not interested in the latest trendy workout shoes or Lululemon outfit.
​
I'm not interest in fist-bumping with toxic fitness influencers and fake "guru" YouTubers over how many followers, subscribers, and likes I have.
​
I want you to succeed...period.
​
So you can be strong enough to hold your children or grandchildren.
​
So you can lose the weight, lower your blood pressure and be healthy for your family's sake...for your sake.
​
So you can finally fix your injury and be able to play with your kids.
​
So you can get off prescriptions drugs, improve your metabolic health and live a long, full, healthy, happy life.
​
It's a virtuous circle. A positive network effect.
​
It's my way of making a difference in this bat-shit crazy world. I chose a rewarding career...and I'm good at it.
​
My business thrives when and only when my clients achieve their goals.
​
That means every single personal training strategy I employ works.
I've tested it for the past 38 years on more than 1,945 clients with 142 unique goals.
​
Anyway, if this isn't enough to "move" you...
​
Nothing will. And know this...
​
If you keep doing what you are doing, you are going to keep getting what you are getting.
​
Period. End of story.
​
So...
DON'T SPEND YOUR WEEKENDS WORRYING ABOUT FITNESS
Because life's too short.
​
Look, you're young (or maybe old) and I've seen this my entire career.
​
People spend countless hours worrying about their body stressing over how to get a better shape. Do you?
​
I see people scouring the darkest corners of the internet looking for the "secret to fitness", or the "how to change your body fast..." manual.
​
Reading the works of so-called "gurus".
​
Downloading the latest fitness e-books, watching Instagram reels of toxic fitness influencers, YouTube videos of starved ladies and roided out dudes doing all their exercises incorrectly or peddling their course.
​
Fad diets to lose weight, protein powders to bulk up quickly, nonsensical quick fixes for this, shit for that.
​
And then...
​
"Oh my gosh. I found this fitness YouTuber and she great..."
​
And on and on and on!
​
*sighs*
​
After all of this time and energy wasted watching useless Instagramers, YouTubers, TikTok nonsense...
​
Not to mention the continued health, fitness and body issues while wasting time on things that don't get you any closer to your goal.
​
This causes your head to feel like exploding.
​
You feel like your only option is to throw up, cry...or...
​
But wait...
​
My question for you is this...what if you...
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HYPER GROWTH AND NO GROWTH TRAINERS IS...
The extraordinary personal trainer skill sets to make it happen.
​
And the number one skill that the very best, top-rated, fast-results getting personal trainers possess is...
​
​The ability to consistently and predictably get results, no matter what the goal is.
​
In other words, they bring clarity to your workouts with a science-based holistic fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle roadmap with effective fitness solutions supported by proven results-based personal training systems and strategies so they can take charge of their training and get amazing results, faster, for any goal, like clockwork.
​
Because results are the only thing a client deeply craves and cares about.
​
And it's also the antidote...
​
To build confidence. To not have to worry.
​
To not have to worry about having your hair go fifty shades of grey from all the stress about not knowing how to get in shape.
​
And it took me from being a solopreneur when I arrived in Chicago in 1999...
​
To having fitness industry experts and my clients say things like:
​
"Dennis represents the pinnacle of excellence in holistic athletic & human performance, dynamically positioned at the apex of sports science, exercise physiology, sports performance, strength & conditioning, athletic training, general health & fitness protocols, modalities & methodologies, nutrition, recovery & rejuvenation, and advanced, comprehensive evaluations and assessments.
​
Dennis seamlessly integrates all of these independent disciplines into an advanced holistic, human athletic performance training package that is simply unparalleled."
​
​This is what having a proven personal training system has done for me.
​
And it's my client's ticket to health & fitness freedom.
​
It allows them to get their dream body they feel more confident, and fabulous in.
​
​It's their ticket to not having to worry about where their next kg. of weight loss will come from.
​
Their ticket to feeling confident naked again.
And here's the good bit...
​
It doesn't matter what your personal goals, needs or requirements are.
​
I've used my personal training system to help clients achieve 142 unique health, fitness and body transformation goals.
​
​Yep, I've cooked up a training system that'll whip you into shape faster than you got out of shape.
​
And it all starts with my platform.
