Revelations was pretty much my first experience with personal fitness. Dennet not only trained and taught me proper form for maximizing my workouts, he also explains personal fitness in a different mindset that helps with the overall process.

 

To sum up Dennet, I would have to say it’s his always positive attitude, philosophical insights, and inspiring behaviour that allows him to be so successful. Thanks for pushing me to be who I am.

I have worked in the fitness industry most of my life, competed many years as one of Canada’s elite athletes and worked with numerous coaches and trainers. There are things I learned while working with Dennet that I have taken forward and included-not only in my philosophy of training, but in my attitude about life. Dennet is an excellent trainer with an infectious zest for fitness and life. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

I have been training with Dennet since 2009 and I find what separates him from all other trainers is not just his comprehensive training knowledge and background but further his genuine care and investment in each of his clients.Dennet takes the time to get to know all of his clients and because of that he regularly helps them reach their fitness goals.
 
All of his workouts incorporate a variety of strength training, cardio, balance and flexibility.This multilevel style of training has helped me loose inches off my waist and lower my body fat percentage.Exercises never become easy with him because he knows exactly how to regularly challenge the body and help you reach new heights. In a fun and safe environment Dennet motivates you to try creative exercises that you never thought possible, eventually making you feel like your potential is limitless. Since working out with Dennet I have not only gained a great trainer but a true friend as well. I could not imagine training with anyone else.

Training with Dennet, I was able to increase my strength and conditioning to meet my goals. The trainers were able to intelligently create exercises for my specific needs. As an MMA athlete, I have very specific goals that I need to meet and was able to achieve that and more here. I feel that their system of training works because they are able to cater to individual needs, show individual attention, & can motivate you in groups as well. I highly recommend training here as you will leave being stronger, healthier, and feeling great!

Dennet Lee is an amazing personal trainer.  I have worked with Dennet for many years and through all levels of fitness – from completely out of shape and overweight to being very fit and below my goal weight.  I have seen Dennet train all kinds of people from physically disabled right up to body builders.  Dennet is unfailingly encouraging and enthusiastic without being over the top.  I never felt that Dennet judged me or was disapproving.  He adapted our workouts to meet my needs and he always kept things interesting.  I was continually inspired and able to go to the gym to work out on my own using Dennet’s techniques.  Dennet’s education and experience enables him to know how the body works and what to do to get to where you want to go.  His attitude is contagious and I always left my sessions feeling energized and happy, even when I had arrived feeling tired and depressed.  I have worked with Dennet alone and in groups of 2 and more – no matter who else is there, I always felt that Dennet gave his full attention and easily altered each activity to meet the fitness needs of each person in the group.  Dennet is more than just a physical trainer – he works with mind and soul as well.  I would not hesitate to recommend Dennet to anyone.

The results I have achieved while training at Revelations have been amazing!! No matter what your current level is, trainer Dennet Lee can and will get you into the best shape of your life and you will have a great time doing it. He is extremely knowledgeable, motivated and efficient in regards to my training goals. My mobility, stamina, and balance have dramatically improved since coming here and I would highly recommend the Revelations if you have specific training needs and goals that the average gym cannot address.

Ken

I have been training with Dennet since 2002 and need to be strong mentally and physically for my job. When you workout every exercise has both a mental and physical component with more than half being mental. I have told Dennet on many occasions that for me he is both a Trainer and a Psychologist. Many times over the years I have come to my training session stressed and depressed and I always leave feeling a whole lot better after venting and a good workout!  When I am really in a terrible mood and my wife can’t stand me she will say, “Go see Dennet.” Working out has become a very important part of my life that is often the highlight of my day and in all the years I have known Dennet he has never disappointed. He is positive, motivating, supportive and always trying to mix things up so it never gets old. I feel fortunate to have met Dennet and greatly appreciate the positive influence he has had on my life. Dennet is a good friend and an excellent trainer!! What more can I say?

Mitzi

I started working with Dennet when I was 73. He really changed my life. He encouraged me to do things I never thought I could do. Now at the age of 81, I can still “smoke” my granddaughters with push-ups. The body loves to move and if you keep it challenged, it responds like it always did, when you were younger.I started working with Dennet when I was 73. He really changed my life.

I had the pleasure of training with Dennet Lee, Personal Trainer many years ago.

 

The time I trained with him I found him to be truly motivating and a great mentor. Dennet has the natural ability to encourage you break through any barriers and to keep going when you feel you can’t.  He is a very special person and if anyone has the opportunity to work with him, they are truly blessed to work with such a wonderful person.

Ma'Oz

From my own experience I have learned that working out with a good personal trainer will maximize your workouts and therefore achieve the results you are looking for.

 

I have been training with Dennet for the past two years. I am considered fairly new in the gym. Most of Dennet clients have been with him over 10 years!!

 

I can write all about how professional, inspiring and motivating Dennet is or how much fun while physically challenging the workouts are but I rather tell you that in person. So please don’t hesitate to call me @ 604-780-3600 for in person testimonial.

Dennet Lee is a marvellous trainer that I have been going to for the past five years. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, very enthusiastic but also very careful. He has so much faith in his client’s potential success that his enthusiasm is contagious.

Odina

Dennet inspired me to be my best personal self. He is so passionate about what he does that it inevitably rubs off on the people he trains. He lives and breathes fitness! After training with him I decided to become a personal trainer myself. Thanks for helping me find confidence, energy and the drive to take on new challenges!

Mr. X

I have been training with Dennet for a few years now, and its one of the smartest decisions Ive ever made. He has helped me get into the best physical shape of my life. Dennet’s positive energy, and charisma keep me highly motivated through every workout, and I learn something new everytime! Not only has my body been completely transformed, but i can say ive gained a new level of work ethic, confidence, and a stronger mindset that I take with me, in or outside the gym, thanks to dennet! – Mr.X

My knee’s were giving me problems before I started training. Within a month they felt much better as did everything else.   I  then took some time off and the pain in my knees returned as did a few inches around my waist.  Now I am back.  🙂

Shauna

I am not your “average” personal training client. I have always been an athlete and fitness and nutrition has always played an enormous role in my life. I played competitive sports at the Provincial/National level in my youth and still remain competitive today. I came to Dennet @ Revelations Studio because I had seen him train clients and heard about him through friends and other trainers. As a personal trainer myself, I didn’t need someone to show me how to perform exercises or to school me on diet/nutrition. What I wanted was someone who could push me outside of my comfort zone and to help me achieve beyond my personal best. I don’t lack motivation, and have never had a problem committing to getting in a work out. However, there is a huge difference that show in results from simply showing up and going through the motions of a stagnant routine than to have an amazing trainer push you to extremes and achieve strength and atheistic gains thought impossible. Dennet is a positive, charismatic, energetic and genuine professional. He maintains a wonderful balance of friendship and professional etiquette. He truly cares about each and every client and knows how to reach each of us and our unique needs and quirks. Dennet would come up with new and exciting exercises and encourage me to push myself a little harder each session.
 
Whether in a group setting or one on one, my sessions were always fun, challenging, fast paced and most importantly made me feel strong and good about myself. Dennet helped me to achieve a high level of fitness and strength that fit with my insanely busy schedule. As a single mom of an active 11 year old boy who plays competitive sports 7 days a week, working full time as an Investment Specialist, managing 2 soccer teams, and sitting on the BC Cancer Agency board and the Ronald McDonald House Volunteer Committee…Fitness has to be a priority and Dennet helped to make this work for me. In the summer of 2010, I suffered blood poisoning from a waterskiing injury..this resulted in multi-organ failure (lungs/kidneys/liver all shut down), a heart attack and the possibility of a foot amputation…at the age of 32. The survival rate was less than 10%. Due to the fitness and healthy level I was at, my recovery was fast and amazed all of my doctors. I spent over a month in the hospital, but was back to work and gym in 6 weeks. My training has modified as I do have some permanent damage to my heart and lungs. However, I still have my feet, my will and most of all my motivation. I owe a lot to Dennet and value his knowledge, experience and enthusiasm for fitness. I appreciate his friendship and his professionalism and would recommend him to anyone at any age or fitness level. His passion for Life, health and happiness shows in his character and his clients.

Ravi

Ive trained with Dennet for almost a year now. He’s a pleasure to work with and knows when to push and encourage. the results ive achieved to date are largely due to his combination of diverse training methods. he makes each workout challenging, creative, and most importantly, fun. definitely a trainer i would recommend to friends and family.

Spo

Dennet Lee is simply a personal trainer that offers services and motivation that go far beyond a general exercise program. The exercise and weight management program was based on my personal goals. He motivated us to go further and provided feedback if improvement was needed. I used to dread going to the gym but as soon as I started going to Dennet, the workout became fun and exciting…and that itself is a big accomplishment.

Steph

I have been working out with Dennet for over two years now.  When I first started seeing him, my fitness goal was to increase muscle strength and tone.  The results I have achieved have more than exceeded my expectations.  With his dedication and commitment to his clients I have no hesitation with giving Dennet the highest possible recommendation possible.

Half a Century and Fat

 

Four years ago, this month, my wife and I started down a common path together.  We were engaged, and determined to look good for our wedding photos.   We only had about a year and a half to fit into the wedding gown and tuxedo.  We both “thought” we knew just as much as anyone else about food, diet and exercise.   My medical doctor said that my health was getting worse with high cholesterol and pre-diabetes.   My chiropractor said my back problems were due to weak abdominals.  I had no clue where to begin at 175 pounds.
 
The image that I saw in the mirror did not reflect the true ideal of who I really wanted to be.  I decided to change and I needed help to do it if I wanted a long and heathy lifespan.   My wife asked Dennet to coach us at the studio.
 
I had never felt comfortable in a gym before.  I didn’t enjoy working out with strangers.  It was intimidating not knowing what or how to do anything, especially with the mirrored reflections of all those muscular men and women in their tight fitness gear!  I was fortunate to have my wife- to-be share my pain as my gym buddy.
 
I wasn’t in bad shape, but I re-learned about humility sooner than I wanted when a much younger individual did more reps at an exercise faster and with MUCH better form than I could.  They made it look SO easy.  Needless to say, I was a tad jealous.  I made a comment that they were younger.  That’s why they were better than me.  Dennet quickly dispelled my excuse later by having us work out with another client who was older than me.  Well, that person ALSO, kicked my butt doing more reps and had even better form and flexibility than the initial younger person.  What was my excuse now?  Exercising was easier once I lost my ego and started doing workouts for myself.
 
Oh, did I forget to say that it ALWAYS hurt two days after a good workout?   Doesn’t matter, it does, and you will be constantly reminded (if you really do give it your all) each and every time you start a new exercise or re-visit one you haven’t done for a while.  The aches actually subside a bit once you repeat the exercise, but it still requires all your effort.  It’s really reassuring to have a trainer, like Dennet, care enough to help you achieve your goals and encourage you to push harder and get better.  Setbacks such as injuries at work or play and even illnesses are taught to be a normal course of events in life and he’ll easily modify a session to help speed your recovery.  He adjusted my meal plans a little at a time until I hit a low weight of 145 pounds and I am now stable about 150.  He can combine multiple exercises so that you are more efficient in your workout.

 

I can’t describe how emotional it is to have a dozen co-workers or friends compliment how much better you look from before.  They may notice a change on your outsides, but the truth is how much better you feel on the inside, that makes you wanting more.   You will learn about the hard work, how takes time, and not always easy, but Dennet can help you towards reaching your objective and will make it fun, and if you’re lucky, he might share a funny story with you while you sweat it out.

 

That’s discipline.  That’s results.

Sylvia

Say the word “workout” and what series of excuses does one hear? “I don’t have time”, “It’s too hard”, “I can’t do it”, “I’m too tired”. I remember some of the things Dennet taught us. You can find time if you make time. Even one hour a week is better than none. Working out is never easy, but take your time and go at your own pace and if you find it too easy, then make an adjustment. It is not about your age or about competition. Your competitor is yourself.
 
When I first started working out, Dennet made it fun and unpredictable. I couldn’t wait to go to the gym as each new session made me wonder what new exercises we were going to learn and what muscles we were going to discover next. I was definitely sore a couple days after each session but it was good pain. After several months, I was able to comfortably wear some of the clothes that were beginning to feel tight.

 

I’m approaching my four year anniversary now and poor Dennet sometimes still hears my complaints of “I can’t do this” or “this is too hard”, but in exchange, through his encouraging and motivating words, he has given me definition in my arms and better core strength.

 

I still have yet to discipline myself with better eating habits, but I hate to think where I’d be now, without his support, had I quit or never even worked out at all.

If you like the best, you’ve found it. Every time I leave here I feel so accomplished. The workouts are highly effective and efficient. The one-on-one training is amazing with the most valuable verbal and tactile cues to achieve good form and symmetry. The group training is just as good with an intimate synergy of strive and growth. I’ve tried it all from New York’s best Brazilian Butt Lift to LA’s acclaimed Barry’s Boot Camp and Bar Method. Dennet Lee tops it all. Every time you leave a training session you will feel so empowered and far more independent with your own individual workouts.
 
I don’t live in Vancouver/Delta anymore but every time I visit I train at Revelations. I have come in with an extra 20 lbs, fallen off the wagon, even just upset about life in general. Every time I have been totally encouraged and motivated. Dennet will literally dust you off and send you back out into the world again. The lifestyle he promotes is simple – no calorie counting (I love that). Whether you’re looking to start up a new program or fine tune your great results already, this is it. Literally one of my favorite places in the whole world.

Scott

I have been strength & weight training now for over 14 years. I’ve competed at both the University and National level with the help of world class trainers and fitness experts alike. None of them ever pushed me to reach new levels like Dennet has. He has the ability to take what you already know and educated you in what you don’t. One of the greatest things about Dennet is he is not only a trainer but a teacher as well. His wealth of kinesthetic knowledge is second to none. Dennet provides a fun, safe and competitive environment that tailors to all different fitness goals. Whether you’re a hardcore lifter, a cardio guru or just looking to get back in the game this is your guy.

Tina

I have been going to the studio for over 5 years now. I started with Dennet about 4 years ago and have never felt better! I am 69 years of age and feel like I am at least 45! Dennet is extremely well educated in the art of personal training and is an excellent trainer. He amazes me with what he manages to get one to do. The workouts are always fun and never to the point of one not wanting to return to the studio. You would be privileged to have Dennet as your personal trainer. He is the one of the best in his field!

Tina

I have worked with a few trainers over the years and Dennet is the only one that I have followed to the other side of town, and 30minutes out of my way to stay with!
 
His commitment to his clients is second to none. He works with you – or against you if necessary to get you to your goals. I HATE WORKING OUT..but Dennet keeps it interesting, is a great motivator. Combined with a great sense of humor ..you can’t go wrong, I have and would continue to recommend Dennet as a personal trainer.

Shailven

I was recommended to Dennet by my massage therapist. I knew what I wanted to do but needed someone to point me in the right direction. While working with Dennet I found him to be very motivating and very knowledgable when it comes to personal training and nutrition. I spend an hour with him a few times a week. The time goes by quickly as the exercises he has me do are perfect for my fitness level. I strongly recommend Dennet if you are looking for personal trainer. He has a friendly laid back approach that I find refreshing. It’s not intimidating when you go to his gym and the other staff and clients are incredibly friendly.

 

A definite must try.

Trish

Dennet is great. Your abs will hurt, so will your butt.  I felt stronger quickly and the environment Dennet creates to train in is one that is friendly and welcoming from the time you walk in the door.  You should check him out. Not only is he a great trainer, but he is a great friend too.

Val

I love working out at Dennet’s studio!  Who notices the challenging workout when the hour is spent with awesome friends I’ve met and lots of laughter.  I have known Dennet for over ten years and he is consistently professional and dedicated to his clients.

Todd

The Easiest Part of my day. I’m always telling people that training with Dennet Lee is as easy as it gets. Why? Because on a day when you have low energy he bumps you up with his enthusiasm, on an up day he inspires you to push to greater heights. Even with a full roster of clients that run the gambit of elite athletes to fitness conscious seniors, Dennet make you feel like he is giving you all his energy for the day. A tireless worker, he pours his energy into you realizing your potential, striving to reach your goals & then push on further than you thought you ever would have. I arrived at Dennet’s as a competitive athlete & 7-8 years later after training with him non-stop I still see improvement & results. After years of ongoing sports training under world class coaches & instructors, Dennet stands with the best. With an understanding of healthy body movement, personal motivation & a great sense of humour, he makes each visit a pleasure & inspiration. Why is the easiest part of my day? I arrive, do as I’m told & achieve success with every visit. I’ve brought friends, family & co-workers to Dennet & always with the comfort of knowing he can improve their life as he has mine.
Have a great day, Todd

Wendy

Dennet Lee’s passion for helping clients realize and achieve their potential is unsurpassed.   I observed several trainers at the gym where I was a member, and was immediately impressed with Dennet’s training style and the results that his clients were achieving.
 
When I first became a client, I was amazed at what he could inspire me to do!   He challenged every component of my fitness in fun and sometimes torturous ways.  He knew what I could handle and was able to safely push me way beyond my self-imposed limits.
 
Almost immediately, I experienced improvements in my cardiorespiratory and muscular capacities, as well as my balance, coordination, flexibility, speed and power.   I am an analytical and questioning person.   Dennet would always answer my inquiries with the ideal combination of expertise, patience and humour, as well as the occasional dose of what I now refer to as “Dennet wisdom”.
 
Nobody can pack as much into a half-hour or one-hour session as Dennet.  He is 100% focused on whoever he is training.  His clients always receive every ounce of his incredible energy.   Dennet embodies everything I now expect in any personal trainer.  He is disciplined, knowledgeable, supportive, enthusiastic, innovative, trustworthy, patient, and more!

My husband and I re-located to the Okanagan and it’s been a while since we’ve trained with Dennet.   We continue to use much of what we learned with him.   And I still hear his voice when I press the incline button on the treadmill!

 

Thank you, Dennet!  Keep changing lives!

Yvonne

I have trained with several personal trainers and found that Dennet was the most encouraging and experienced I have worked it. He challenges me past what I thought was my potential and proves to me that I am capable of so much more! Thanks Dennet!

Warren

I used to get sand kicked in my face, then I met to Dennet and had a revelation! I now am the one kicking sand at others. Life is so much better now.
