“Sophie and Jason DeHenzel did a great job finding just the right trainer for my situation–I am 70 years old, recently retired, and had been too sedentary for too long! Susan is really plugged into my capabilities, strengths and weaknesses. In short order, Susan has transformed me, improving my strength, muscle mass, and balance. They are very flexible and will work with you to reschedule sessions when everyday life gets in the way of routine. I am looking forward to this second year! Thank you!” – Rick
In Home Personal Training for Seniors
At DeHenzel Training Systems, we specialize in working with aging seniors to help improve their quality of life and level of independence.
Our senior clients greatly range in physical health and ability. We work with clients with (but not limited to): arthritis, degenerative disk disease, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, even those who are dependent on a walker or wheelchair.
Our senior personal trainers at DeHenzel Training Systems utilize weight and non-weight bearing exercises to specifically strengthen the entire body with an emphasis on flexibility, mobility, balance and strength.
Our team also has great experience working with doctors and physical therapists to carry out any specific guidelines to ensure that the training is complimentary, safe and effective.
“I found DeHenzel online and reached out to setup personal training for my aging parents. My mom had a stroke a few years ago and my dad has Parkinson’s. In addition to physical therapy we realized they would benefit from more training as they aged. From the start Sophie was super responsive and a true highlight of my parent’s week is when Nick their trainer comes. It is vital to keep and develop whatever strength we have as we age even in our 80s and we are delighted with the services.” – Karen

“After 3 + years of self-directed exercise with videos and long walks, I felt the need for additional challenge – I got so much more. I not only got challenged, I got encouragement and reassurance. I’ve always thought of myself as a slug, but to hear at 70 I’m an athlete and an inspiration to others, feels so good. My trainer works with me based on how I’m feeling and accepts that I’m aware of my body and what I can do without pain, and adjusts on the fly as needed…I am very thankful to have made the decision to try this, and hope to continue for much longer!.” – Madge
