BODY IN BALANCE

At Better Bodies, we aim to provide quality and comprehensive health and wellness services in order to help all of our clients reach an overall state of well-being in both body and mind.

What We Do

Our goal is to help you build strength, improve energy, and feel good in your body—without making fitness complicated.

Nutrition

Without the right food, your body won't thrive. But do you know what the right foods are?

Do you have some habits that aren't ideal? are you confused about all the new diets popping up every day? Are you tired of dieting and counting calories?

Do you want to know how to finally reach your goal? .

Personal Training

Are you stuck on the treadmill every time you go to the gym? Intimidated by the equipment? Do you want to lose weight or gain some muscle, but don't know how to get the results or where to start?

Health Coaching

The food that goes on your plate and the other "foods" that feed your body are all equally important for a healthy, happy, fulfilling life.

Are you stuck but not sure what needs to change?

About Us

Hi, I’m Henriette. My journey into a healthy lifestyle started in 1996 after having my own battles with my health and my body. I was the fat kid in school and because of that ended up with an eating disorder. After many years of trying to find my way out of that I became interested in weight training and with that came the natural interest in nutrition. Over the years this evolved into many certifications in all areas of training, coaching, wellness, and nutrition and starting my business, Better Bodies Training. This is my passion and helping people navigate through their own health is what makes my work rewarding. I believe it’s essential to invest in your health in order to enjoy a life full of joy, gratitude, and satisfaction. It’s this belief that guides Better Bodies approach, services, teachings, and treatments. I focus on teaching clients how to improve their health and also give them tools to ensure they can maintain it by themselves.

Working out with Henriette has changed my life!!! Not only am I physically stronger and doing things I never thought I could do in the gym, I have more confidence in other areas of my life and less anxiety that I used to. My wellness journey is now a lifelong commitment. Henriette has seen me through it all, helped me through multiple injuries and always adjusts the workouts when my chronic pain flares up. She also knows when to push me and she truly cares about me as a person.

Henriette exceeds all expectations. She was an amazing trainer to my elderly parents ( aged 82-85) and took all of their ailments into customizing a wonderful and challenging workout routine 5 days per week. She is thoughtful, caring, and simply lovely. And her heart could not be any bigger! You will never find another like her!

I've been working with my excellent trainer Henriette Steffensen for three years now. She's the third trainer I've had, and she is by light years the best. I feel like a totally different person than when I started with her. She's the kind of trainer who doesn't push you but expects hard work from you. I have fibromyalgia and she is very aware of that, and she listens to me when I tell her that something hurts. But I have to work hard during our sessions, because those are her expectations. She never tells me (unlike my other trainers) what I CAN'T do. She's extremely knowledgeable about training; she works all your muscles in every single session (unless you split the sessions into upper body and lower body, which I don't do). She manages to keep in mind the exercises I've done in recent sessions; she remembers what weights I use, and I'm always amazed by a) how tired I am after each session and b) how great I feel. I'm incredibly lucky to have found her. My whole body is transformed. I have muscles now I didn't know existed! Now my daughter, who's never ever thought about training, wants to begin with her as well. In short, Henriette Steffensen is the best!

Henriette has been training me for three years and has literally changed my life! Her in-depth knowledge of nutrition and physiology (mixed with killer HIIT workouts!) helped me lose 30 pounds and transform my life. I couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommended!

Been training with Henriette for around 1.5 year and I really enjoy this experience. She is patient, nice and responsible, gives professional suggestions about both training and healthy diet. I can see the physical and mental change on myself obviously. Highly recommended!

I’ve been working out with Henriette for two years now. Being in my sixties and not very active I had a ways to go but Henriette has helped me get stronger, healthier, and lead a more balanced life. It has been transformative!

Henriette has a lifetime of knowledge regarding health and overall wellness. Armed with her diverse background and through thoughtful, open-minded dialog she is able to tailor sessions to meet her clients individual needs. She is truly dedicated to the lifestyle and leads by example. I have never been more challenged by an instructor or trainer. Beginner or athlete, if you are truly ready to see or feel change, she is the gal to go to.

I’ve been working out with Henriette for 2 years, one on one, and it’s been an awesome experience. She has coached me with nutrition and has helped to increase my strength. Love having her as a coach, would highly recommend if you are looking for someone to help you with your health goals to give her a shot.

I've had Henriette as both a personal trainer and class instructor and I get so much out of each session. She will work you really hard and make sure you get maximum results as long as put in the effort. She is also very knowledgeable about nutrition and eating habits. You cannot go wrong if you hire Henriette as your trainer!!!

Henri gets results... She practices what she preaches, and she takes a complete interest in her client’s successes! Henri is reliable, loyal, and I guarantee she has never missed 1 training session with any of her clients. I attended her HIIT classes for a couple years every Tuesday and Thursday at 5:45 AM and trust me... if I wasn’t getting a butt kicking every time, I wouldn’t be getting up at that hour. She is amazing! I completely recommend Henri.

I started taking Henri's class using ClassPass and within a year, I quit ClassPass and joined the Gym, ONLY to take Henri's class. I don't use the gym otherwise. She's a fantastic instructor. One of her class in the morning sets you up for a positively successful day. I thoroughly enjoy/experience her classes. She's a solid human being who ensures her clients' success through motivation and some much-needed A$$-kicking!

I have worked out off and on with BBF and Henriette for almost ten years. Her insight and expertise around strength training, diet and cardio has allowed me to get healthy in many ways. I could have found the success on my journey without her guidance and support.

Henriette is simply a life changer. She has motivated me to get up off of the couch and start working out and she is so awesome that I actually look forward to it now! I couldn’t even do one squat when I started. She is positive, encouraging, stern when she needs to be, but most importantly your biggest cheerleader. She also gives lots of nutritional advice when you are working out and send tons of recipes and nutrition resources when you need them. I’m not exaggerating to say that she has changed my life, and she is just a wonderful person. Do yourself and your body a favor and go work out with her! She is the best. 🙂
