Introduction: I thrive on helping people to improve their ability to function more optimally through focused, appropriate, safe and fun conditioning combined with healthy lifestyle choices and stress reduction activities.
Private personal training
Doug excels at customizing safe, effective, fun and challenging workouts that are guaranteed to create the results you desire. With over 20 years experience conditioning people from 6-76 years old, Doug draws from a vast array of modalities, including but not limited to resistance training, cardiovascular conditioning, flexibility, yoga, martial arts and core conditioning. Doug is inspirational and motivational as well as knowledgeable and fun. His workouts are certain to lift you up and challenge you.
Partner or small group training
With the world economy changing and the paradigm under which we operate shifting collaborative training is becoming the new norm. Training with your husband, wife or partner is not only a cost effective way of attaining your health and fitness goals but can also lead to newfound closeness and understanding.
Small group training is an even more affordable way of getting the expertise of a seasoned fitness expert without sacrificing the personal attention. Why not get together with co-workers, other parents from your child’s school, friends, parishioner’s or family to create a fun, effective and motivational collaborative for attaining all your fitness goals.
CoreRobic Bootcamp
Doug’s skills as a strength coach and experience as a PT NCO in the National Guard make him particularly well suited for Boot Camp style training. This is not the G.I. Joe training of yesteryear but rather functional group exercise that incorporates multi-planar movements designed to elicit a broad adaptational response. The CoreRobic program incorporates cardio-respiratory endurance, strength, power, speed, flexibility, agility, balance and plyometric training. Your inner athlete will come alive!
Sports-specific conditioning
Doug has participated in sports his entire life. Additionally, his experience as a Strength and Conditioning coach and an exercise scientist provides him with the skills necessary to improve your game, whatever it is and at whatever level you are at.
Post-rehab conditioning
Doug’s lifelong athletic career meant spending a lot of time in the training room nursing various injuries. He is experienced with injury prevention and recovery from injury following physical therapy. Doug can work with you, your physician and physical therapist to restore your body to optimal functioning following injury.
Pre/post natal fitness
Doug has trained numerous Mom’s-to-be up to and after their pregnancies with an average labor time of 3.25 hours. Maintaining balanced overall fitness and nutrition in addition to appropriate pelvic floor conditioning is exteremely beneficial for the health of the mother and the efficiency of the delivery process.
Seminars and workshops
Doug has been providing health related workshops and seminars for companies like Navigant Consulting, OAI and Greencorps Chicago since his days teaching at Illinois State University. Topics include Everyday Nutrition and Diet, Stress Reduction, Home Exercise Equipment, Workplace Fitness, etc.
Facility Design & Setup/Equipment Consultation
Doug has extensive experience at facility layout and design and equipment selection. His experience as a retail and commercial fitness equipment sales consultant cultivated an innate eye for design and flow that will have your home gym, condominium workout room, health club or school operating efficiently, affordably and effectively.
