Welcome to Workout IQ - helping folks around the world feel healthy, fit, and happy.

My name is Denis Kanygin and I am a full time fitness trainer and postural corrective therapist.

My journey to fitness and health started when I was 11 years old living in Ekaterinburg, Russia. Our neighbor was diagnosed with cancer.

At that time treatment options were scarce, so she decided to heal herself. Fitness and exercise were a big part of the regimen. We all showed support and I somehow got into running at 6am(in the snow!), doing calisthenics and even trying weights.

Fast forward couple of years to my discovery of Russian Kettlebell (Girevoi Sport) and weight lifting. I was hooked and kept going ever since.

Initially it was just for fun, no specific goal in mind

As I moved to U.S. and got into Track & Field, performance and results dominated my training

As I started fitness training business, my personal goals were focused on looks. That however quickly changed.

Health and wellness became the dominant and only outcome. Training for life is my goal. It is the very reason why I created Workout IQ program
