our_story

DeHenzel Training Systems was created by husband and wife team, Jason and Sophie DeHenzel, who met in NYC while working for a prestigious, high-end in home personal training company.

As a senior trainer, Jason spent hours working one-on-one with Sophie (the new hire), mentoring her to become a more seasoned and skilled personal trainer. It wasn’t long before their connection grew beyond the fitness studio to a private wedding ceremony on a Cape Cod beach.

While working in NYC, Jason and Sophie had the opportunity to work with company CEOs, high-level lawyers, an Academy & Golden Globe nominated movie producer, a world-renown DJ and many other notable clients.

After growing tired of living in a very small East Village apartment, lugging their laundry up/down four flights of stairs to the Laundromat and riding the subway in 90-degree heat, Jason and Sophie headed south to the suburbs. They settled in Jason’s hometown of Loudoun County.

It has always been a dream for both Jason and Sophie to have their own business, and it was only natural to include an element of fitness into their dream. In 2012, Jason and Sophie coupled their entrepreneurial skills with their passion for fitness and for helping people and DeHenzel Training Systems was born.

Aside from being husband and wife, Jason and Sophie also compliment each other very nicely as business partners. Jason brings his entrepreneurial skills and company vision to the table, whereas Sophie excels with her management and client relationship abilities. Together they are very passionate and committed to growing their business and positively impacting as many lives as possible throughout the DMV.

My husband a stroke survivor with some paralysis who needs to stay strong now that he's 60. Mark has been fantastic at helping him gain strength and stability. He says he feels better than he has in years. He truly looks forward to their twice weekly sessions to not only work out but be encouraged and uplifted by Mark. The best investments are the ones you make in yourself.

DeHenzel Training Systems is absolutely wonderful! When we first learned about them, we loved that they offered options for training (virtual or in person at your home) and they offered nutritional counseling. My husband and I signed up for both nutritional counseling and a personal trainer. Sophie (Nutritional Counselor) was wonderful to work with as we learned more about macro nutrients and its impact. And Anthony (Trainer) is absolutely fantastic! We are still training with him - we renewed our session because after 6 weeks, we already felt and saw a difference. So we definitely wanted to continue our workouts. He always comes up with new, engaging challenges. And he makes sure to watch our form so we don't get hurt, which is exactly what we needed to achieve our goals. DeHenzel Training Systems is top notch! We would recommend them to everyone!

DeHenzel Training Systems is the BEST training service out there in Loudoun County hands down. My husband and I had an in home trainer for over six months and the results were amazing. Both of us are over 50 years old and our trainer really worked with each of our individual needs. The end result was 20lbs lighter and a much stronger toner body. Great price for in home personalized service.

Wonderful at home personal training, trainer adjusts schedules as needed. Uses equipment at home or readily available on Amazon, adapts to needs and builds up from there. I have personally benefited a great deal to strengthen my core, gluts, legs. I would 100 percent recommend her. This has helped my balance specifically.

I reached out to DeHenzel Training Systems after visiting and feeling highly pressured at a local gym. Jason was able to match me with Rachel, which worked out perfectly for my schedule and personality! Rachel has been wonderful, pushing me just enough to get stronger after surgery while keeping me safe too. Rachel is easy going, fun and kind. I highly recommend her and have enjoyed every session!

My story...mid-40s, overweight, had not worked out consistently for years, perimenopause kicking my arse, I need help. I tried many times on my own but with no luck. I needed something to hold me accountable and I needed guidance because of how out of shape I was in. So many past attempts to work out on my own and because I still thought like I was in my 20s, I pushed too hard, too soon and injury happened derailing all attempts. Enter a personal trainer, and even better, a personal trainer who would come to me vs me having to join a gym or head to a studio...an easy excuse to give up...sign me up! I went searching online, found several options, narrowed it down to 2...DeHenzel being one of them. So I started with a trainer at the other place and a trainer with DeHenzel...woman at other place, man at DeHenzel. I was a bit apprehensive about a male trainer, female body in perimenopause. But wow, was I wrong, the other trainer, female, quickly proved to not be a fit for me and Michael, the trainer from DeHenzel, has been wonderful. He has great energy...always in a good mood, very easy to talk to, respectful of your home, shows up on time, every time....the other trainer would arrive 10 minutes late consistently...and most importantly, he comes with a plan each session. He quickly understood my style--don't boot camp me up...slow and steady will win this race, and has pushed me in the best ways without turning me off from this journey. Six months in and I am stronger, have more flexibility, the body is tightening up, and I am still motivated to continue on this journey. I did not do this to just lose weight and have a summer bod, but to get my body and mind in a new space to have the best life as I get older...not a destination but a lifestyle change to stay on this journey of life. I highly recommend DeHenzel training...it has been more than worth the premium cost (actually, it is pretty reasonable for NoVa). And ask for Michael...he will not disappoint!

Great experience!! They matched me with a great trainer with experience that listens to my needs, is always on time and keeps my exercise routine interesting. Once you experience in home training it is hard to even imagine not having a personal trainer!!! Try it you won’t regret it.
