Grisell Denise

Grisell Denise is a Puerto Rican‑born fitness professional, community builder and founder of Women RUN Wynwood, Inc. (WRW). Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, she relocated to Miami at age 18 to pursue higher education and later earned a Master’s Degree in International Business in Paris, France.

With credentials including an IMBA degree and certification as a coach through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), Grisell brings a unique blend of business acumen and fitness expertise to her work.

In December 2017, she launched Women RUN Wynwood in Miami with a clear mission: to empower women through movement, community and self‐belief. The monthly free 5K events she organizes include motivational guest speakers, warm‐ups, run/walk segments, dance fitness and post‐run stretching—all offered in a supportive, women‐only environment.

Grisell emphasises that while running alone might get you fast, running together allows you to go far. She believes deeply in women supporting women, recognizing their worth, strength and potential—especially in environments that can otherwise feel isolating.

Under her leadership WRW has expanded its reach, not only in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood but also through initiatives like “Women RUN Wynwood takes Puerto Rico,” bringing the same empowerment model back to her native island.

Grisell’s story is one of transformation: of identity, of community, and of women’s health. She continues to merge purpose with performance—turning each run into a movement and each participant into part of a larger sisterhood.
