“I have reviewed the strength training DVDs, Healthy IntroDougtions by Doug Jones,and I find the contents to be an authoritative overview of the necessary elements of a comprehensive and effective strength training program. The program not only shows how to accomplish the various exercises but explains the theories behind why they are done and in what sequences they should be performed. I highly recommend this quality and professionally produced DVD series for anyone interested in improving themselves through strength training, be that person a beginner or an experienced hand in this discipline.”

As an actor, one of the few variables that I have control of amidst all of the exigencies of film making is the look of my body in the creation of a role. Whether my goal has been to lose weight, gain weight, break down muscle, or build myself up, Doug has instructed me in a way that is both healthy and safe.
“Doug has helped me meet my goals… and he can do the same for you.”

“I’ve used personal trainers in the past and have been working out for many years, but I now know that many of the workout techniques I had been taught were not nearly as effective as they could be, and a few were flat-out dangerous! Through Doug’s DVDs, I have been able to make dozens of adjustments to my workout routines, allowing me to increase the productivity of my workouts and get more results for the same (or less) effort. “I have seen actual increases in my strength and feel a lot more confident that I am working out in a safe manner with maximum results. I hate to sound like a commercial, but Doug’s DVD’s are an extraordinary value for the price of just one hour of personal training! I would recommend this series to anyone–beginner or expert–who is serious about learning the proper way to exercise,and wants to get the most “bang” for their workout efforts.
“Thanks Doug!!!”

“Three years after I had delivered my child, people STILL asked me when I was expecting. I knew something had to be done. Although I lived over two hours away from Stand Firm Fitness (New Jersey to Connecticut), I made the commitment to meet personally with Doug for an hour or two a week. He is a wealth of information. I have worked with many trainers over the years and Doug knew exactly what to teach me to get the results I desired. It is amazing the kind of results you can achieve in only 12 short weeks. While a picture is worth a thousand words… two pictures are worth a million.”

I learned more in one hour of watching one of your DVDs than I have in eavesdropping on 1000 trainers.”

“When I started my 12-week program, I was coming off two shoulder surgeries and couldn’t lift my arm above shoulder height. After four weeks, I could throw a ball for the first time in years. Now, more than a year later, I’m down 45 pounds from my starting weight and my lifestyle and eating habits have forever changed. I have referred over 30 people with similar results. Stand Firm Fitness is not a gym, it’s a way of life.”

Watching Doug is truly mesmerizing. I plan to watch only a few minutes and can’t turn it off. It is A LOT of information but Doug describes it all in a way that it really sticks! The “Memory Joggers” help too.”

“Prior to leaving for the gym, we can review from the DVDs those exercises that we intend to work on to insure that we are using the equipment properly and effectively. “The instructional information on the DVDs is presented in a clear and defined manner that is easy to understand. Also, the DVDs are very well structured, so that you only need to review the sections that you are going to concentrate on for that particular day. “Doug discusses each segment with a relaxed presentation, and when you have watched his instructions, you have a clear understanding of the techniques you need to be aware of when exercising. Doug’s DVDs are great but he’s even better in person.”

“Though I had already lost 50 pounds before training with Doug, he taught me how to properly incorporate strength training into my workout program (which until then consisted only of cardio). I can honestly say that Doug helped me get into the best shape of my life… 50 push-ups, 50 chin-ups, a resting heart rate of under 50… incredible. Doug’s fun personality comes across on camera as well as it does in person. In almost no time, you’ll know more than any other member of your health club.”

“Clearly, it’s my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation germane to the assitance I received from Doug Jones, my personal trainer, in utilizing the various and sundry equipment properly in order to enhance each muscle group efficiently. “When I began the initial week of my twelve week program, it was apparent that I was in horrific condition aerobically and my strength was meager in all muscle groups. “Indeed, when I completed the twelve week Physique Program my strength returned noticeably and I look and feel appreciably better. “I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that the Doug’s staff can’t do enough to make you feel comfortable and respond to every need, want and desire! “Surely, I was hesitant to start this venture and my only regret today is that I didn’t begin sooner, much sooner. “Undeniably, when you sign up for the aforementioned program, you will be flabbergasted how favorably your body responds within a short period of time and your appearance will improve, in my opinion, immeasureably! “Additionally, this will be a wonderful investment because the return on your investment is greater energy, stamina, endurance; moreover, your body will look the way it did many years ago. “Lastly, I am proud to say I’m a member of Stand Firm Fitness and will be to perpetuity.”

“I had NEVER worked out in my life and this is what I was able to do in only 5 months of consistent exercise… 3 or 4 days a week, an hour at a time. Getting there takes some effort and focus, but maintaining is much easier. Proper technique is the absolute key to results. Don’t waste your time if you aren’t willing to do it correctly. It’s not worth the time, the energy, or the risk of injury. I have so many friends that work out the wrong way. By watching Doug’s DVDs, I now know even more about exercise than my “trainer” friends. You can’t go wrong by getting any of the Healthy IntroDougtions DVDs.”
