Denise Van Vliet Illinois Certified T-Tapp Trainer Niecy@t-tapp.com Hello! My name is Denise or “Niecy” on the T-Tapp Forums. I’m 39, mother of 2 great kids and married 20 years. I am a sign language interpreter and I have been very active and involved with teaching fitness since the mid 1980’s. I have an ACE personal trainer certification and an AFAA group fitness certification. I’ve taught everything from aerobics and step classes to yoga and Pilates classes. Nothing has come close to how comprehensive T-Tapp is. While preparing for my T-Tapp certification, I’ve never learned so much about the body! I respect the fact that Teresa requires her T-Tapp Trainers to learn and know so much! I’m a cancer survivor and deal with severe hormonal issues since having a hysterectomy at the age of 37. After my surgery, I gained 40 pounds in 3 months. I literally cried every time I stepped on the scale. In January of 2003, I was searching web sites about hormonal issues and came across a forum that was talking about T-Tapp. I went to the web site and read EVERYTHING and then bought everything! I worked out with the tapes at home and then went to a clinic that Kat Creedon was hosting in Chicago. I was hooked! The little form tweaks that I was shown took my T-Tapp workout to a new level right away. I stopped gaining weight and my body started to heal. I knew this was the workout that works! I was, and still am, amazed at how much you can sweat just standing in one place!

I’ve also dealt with Fibromyalgia since 1993 and now whenever I feel a ‘flare up’ coming on, I start to do Primary Back Stretch very slowly and I am able to reduce the pain in my back and hips to help me get on with my day. That right there is a miracle because before when I felt a flare up coming on I would have to get right into bed and rest. That is freedom! T-Tapp is all about freedom! Freedom from worrying about weight or size! Freedom to be a woman! Freedom from working out 2 hours a day! T-Tapp is the workout that works! THAT is why I love being a T-Tapp Trainer because I want to help other men and woman alike find the freedom that I have found with T-Tapp. If you have any questions I can always be reached at Niecy@t-tapp.com.
