“Our trainer tailored his workouts to include position specific drills for football. It kept our son engaged and motivated because he knew these things were making him a better player (not just a boring exercise routine). Our son used to hate running – he struggled to keep up and was easily exhausted. He now runs comfortably in the “middle of the pack” and his footwork is exceptional.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How is In Home Personal Training different than going to a gym?
In home personal training is different from training in a gym for a variety of reasons. With in home personal training, you benefit from the convenience of having the gym come to you. Travel time is eliminated to and from the gym, leaving you with more time for yourself and your family. You also experience the accountability of having a standing appointment that comes to you, regardless of the weather. Also notable, is the privacy, comfort, one-on-one undivided and uninterrputed attention you receive with our team, opposed to at a large, busy gym.
I’ve never worked with a personal trainer before; what can I expect during the first session?
Congratulations on taking a big step and hiring a trainer! During the first session, your trainer will take you through a warmup, workout, and cooldown with dynamic and assisted stretching. They will observe the way you negotiate certain exercises and movements, handle various loads of resistance, and identify areas of strengths and weaknesses. Your trainer will communicate in depth with you to make sure they are pushing your appropriately, effectively and most importantly, safely.
Is my fitness level high enough to work with a personal trainer?
It is a misconception that you must be in top shape to hire a personal trainer. At DeHenzel Training Systems, we welcome and work with clients of all fitness levels. Our trainers will customize your workouts to fit your needs and will appropriately progress your workouts as your fitness level increases.
I have some concerning aches and pains; can I still workout with a trainer?
Yes, of course! Many of our clients have contraindications to exercise and are still able to workout safely and effectively. We have a lot of experience working with clients with major aches, pains, injuries and degenerative diseases. If necessary, we will communicate with your doctor or physical therapist to find what exercise program best suits your needs. Regardless of your limitations, exercise is possible!
I don’t have any equipment, do I need to buy some?
No problem! Our trainers will bring all the equipment necessary to your home, including but not limited to: free weights, medicine balls, resistance bands, boxing gloves/mitts, and a yoga mat. If you do have equipment that you would like to incorporate, just let your trainer know, and they will happily make use of your equipment.
How much space do I need for the workout?
There is no space too small or big for an in home session. Our trainers are very skilled and creative and are able to work in any size space. As long as there is a clear area, with some space to move around, a workout is possible. If you have access to a gym in your community or building, we can also workout there if you would prefer.
How do you hire your trainers?
We are very particular about who we hire and carefully select our trainers out of many qualified candidates. Each trainer goes through three rounds of interviews: a phone interview, an in-person interview, and a thourough reference/background check. Once we hire a trainer, we work with each individual through our 6-month mentoring program where we sharpen and mold their skills. We also place a large emphasis on continuing education. We only hire the best personal trainers to join our team!
Are your trainers certified?
Yes! Our personal trainers are certified through widely recognized personal training institutes and accreditations. Some of our trainers have degrees in exercise science and kinesiology. All of our trainers also pass a certified background check. Each of our trainers actively participate in our 6-month mentoring program where they are able to grow and build their professional skills. Most importantly, our trainers are very passionate about fitness and helping people change their lives, one workout at a time.
