From weight loss to building strength

Your personal trainer in The Hague

Whether you want to lose weight, get stronger or rebuild your mental resilience, at De Werf you work on both body and behaviour. We start by reflecting on where you are, build a rhythm that fits your life and work towards results that last. No quick fixes. Personal training, physiotherapy and lifestyle coaching sit under one roof, so your journey holds together from start to finish.

From Reflection to Rhythm and Results

Change always starts with self-insight and accepting what you find. Which means your goals often call for a broader approach than personal training alone.

Real reviews from real clients

Read what people say about De Werf.

Over the past year, I have worked closely with Ian. He tailors every workout to my needs and always takes my shoulder osteoarthritis into account. Thanks to his approach, I am stronger, fitter, and more mobile than ever. At 49, I feel more energetic and younger than I have in years.
Nicole Mitchell Canadian Defence Attaché | The Hague
Working with Ian has helped me get back to fitness after a long injury. In just a few months, I lost weight, gained strength, and can now easily run 5k, working towards my first 10k. His flexible, knowledgeable approach delivers real results, and I'm excited to keep progressing toward my goals.
