IntroDougtion to Doug

Doug Jones, the Founder and Creator of TheBestWayToExercise.com and TheBestWayToExercise-OnlinePersonalTraining.com, has used his professional expertise, as well as the experience gained through his personal health and fitness challenges, to design a membership-based fitness “one stop shop” that allows each member to get the most effective training results in the least amount of time.  Doug founded Stand Firm Fitness in 1994 to provide in-home personal training.

In response to growing demand for his services, he gradually grew from his garage, to a 1,000 SF training studio, to 2,000 SF, then finally to a nearly 18,000 SF facility in Wilton, CT, becoming one of the largest personal fitness centers in the Northeast.  Today, with his online presence, all members benefit from Doug’s extensive qualifications and experience.  Individualized one-on-one personal training sessions with Doug are available on a limited basis, starting at the rate of $500/hr.

Just Do It!!! …I have two primary goals for members of TheBestWayToExercise.com…

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!

First… I want to help you begin a safe and productive journey toward a superior level of health and physical well-being.  I truly believe that a fitness-oriented lifestyle is a vital tool that synergistically promotes success in many other areas of life.  Developing self-control over such an important and often neglected component of our lives yields a feeling of accomplishment and confidence that is impossible to develop through other means.  You decision to become healthy is more than half the battle.

I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

Second… I want to help you achieve your desired and potential level of fitness with minimal time investment.  As a father of four and owner of multiple businesses, I realize there are many priorities in our lives that are more important than exercise.  Therefore, I will continually strive to teach you how to allocate the least possible amount of time toward exercise while simultaneously achieving the best results.  My goal is to encourage you to develop optimal levels of health and fitness while maintaining your focus on the many other important aspects of your life.
