She started gymnastics at the age of twelve and earned an athletic scholarship to the University of Arizona, graduating in 1979 with a degree in Exercise Physiology. She began teaching aerobic exercise classes in the Los Angeles area, earning her own local television program two years later. In 1983, Denise married Jeff Austin, a sports attorney and brother of tennis champ Tracy Austin. They moved to Washington, D.C., when Jeff accepted a job with a sports marketing firm.
From 1984-1988, Denise was the resident fitness expert on NBC's Today show. She also wrote a column for the Washington Post and received a prestigious award from the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
In 1987 Denise created her ESPN television show, Getting Fit, which aired for ten years on ESPN and in eighty-two countries.
