“I've been training with Doug for about a year and it has truly been a life altering experience. I initially reached out for personal training because I needed help understanding how to work out properly. I was new to the gym and I had gone a few times on my own but felt really unsure of what to do. From our very first session Doug was enthusiastic, positive, and encouraging which was a breath of fresh air since I felt so uncomfortable around the gym. He is punctual, knowledgeable, reliable, supportive, encouraging, fun, silly, and really pushes my limits in the best way possible. Outside of our sessions he also gives me workouts to do at the gym by myself, which I love. Since a year ago I have lost about 20lbs, gotten stronger than I have ever been in my life, and am so much more confident working out than I ever thought I could be. If you're looking for a personal trainer who is not only knowledgeable and professional but also makes working out a genuinely enjoyable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Doug and Bay Made Fitness.”

“Doug has been an amazing personal trainer!! He is patient and cautious when it comes to technique. He has helped me understand core principles behind fitness. He has walked me through every step of hte process of lifting, making sure to prioritize technique! I appreciate that Doug walks you through the process of working out. For a couple weeks he will work with you on on excerises that will aid future, harder excersises (as opposed to just throwing you into the fire). He is positive and optmistice, and extremely friendly Before going to Doug I was extremely clueless about working about but he has really helped me not only with my technique but also with my confidence, through is teachings I have become more comfortable working out because I feel I understand exactly what it is im doing. If I could give 10 stars, I would!”

“Doug is a fantastic personal trainer! He takes the guess work out of fitness and creates an actionable plan for achieving your goals. I've been training with Doug for a few months and I can see a big difference in my body composition. I'm also hitting new PRs which is super motivating.”

“Doug is great. I've been working with him for a few months now and can't recommend him enough. I have been working on rehabbing a knee injury, and he has been really good about figuring out stuff to do to strengthen it + working around whatever limitations I might have that day. Making way more consistent progress than I ever could on my own.”

“Doug is awesome! I've been working with him for several months now and have seen really great changes in my body - I feel stronger and leaner, both of which were goals I discussed with him during our initial training session. It can be super intimidating to get back into the groove of working out, but Doug makes training easy, approachable, and accessible for folks at all levels. He has a really lovely training style - I appreciate that he listens to my goals and adjusts my fitness plans as needed to help me meet those goals. He also puts together super comprehensive plans to help me on my "independent training"days, along with helpful videos on how to properly do each activity. HIGHLY recommend training with Doug!”

“I've always been a pretty fit person and super into exercise, but I felt like I had kind of stalled out on my progress and wanted someone to help me take my workouts to the next level. My friend recommended Doug and I've had so far a great experience. My main focus has really been on getting stronger and Doug is good at correcting my form and educating me about what reps and sets would work best for me. He also offers additional info about counting macros if you're into that. So far everything has been going great, and I'm pleased with my progress, and I love Doug's sense of humor when I'm dying during my workouts.”

“If you're on the hunt for a personal trainer who doesn't just sculpt your body but also shapes your mindset towards fitness, look no further than Doug. I've had the pleasure of embarking on a transformative fitness journey under his guidance, and I can confidently say that Doug is a cut above the rest.”

“Doug is an incredible personal trainer. Over the past year, he has helped me make remarkable progress, going from 30lb dumbbell goblet squats to 135lb barbell squats, and from 15lb dumbbell chest presses to 75lb barbell bench presses, which is 75% of my body weight. From the beginning, Doug took the time to understand my fitness level and crafted a personalized workout plan that perfectly addressed my goals and limitations. His approach is both organized and thoughtful, and I appreciate how he uses Google Sheets to track my progress--it's a fantastic tool for keeping me motivated. Doug has been instrumental in teaching me proper techniques, helping me understand my limits, and making every session enjoyable with his fun and engaging personality. And yes, his dad jokes always bring a smile to my face! One of Doug's greatest strengths is his ability to motivate. Even on days when I felt I couldn't push any further, he found a way to encourage me through to the next rep. His support and encouragement, even during my toughest days, have been invaluable. Doug's clear communication and willingness to adjust the plan as needed have kept me on track and progressing. While there were occasional scheduling conflicts, Doug was always quick to accommodate changes and ensure my training remained consistent. He is consistently punctual and professional. I've seen noticeable improvements in my strength and overall fitness, and I'm thrilled with the results. Overall, I highly recommend Doug to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and supportive personal trainer. His dedication to his clients and genuine passion for fitness make every session worth looking forward to.”

“Working with Doug is a dream! I came in with a plethora of concerns, from injury to inexperience & gym anxiety and Doug thoughtfully and thoroughly addressed them all. Doug is supportive and motivating but careful not to push you to the point of injury. Always on time, always smiling, and always elevating your workout farther than you thought you could, I would highly recommend sessions with Doug. Anyone from beginner to athlete, those who need rehab, weight loss, or just a general intro to the gym, Doug will help you meet your goals and keep you laughing along the way!”
