What They Say . . . . .
"I have been trying to lose weight for years, but I could never get committed to any exercise program.  Doug helped me define my goals, and then he developed a customized fitness program I can live with.  I was new to strength training, so he demonstrated every exercise, and even took pictures to help me remember correct movements.  He explained which muscles were affected.  He also helped me to understand the importance of setting goals, recognizing obstacles and how to find solutions.  With his help, I have become fully committed and I am seeing the results of my commitment.  So far, I have lost 57 pounds and I have no doubt I can reach my goals."

                                         Yolanda Roach - Kent, WA

"Doug has played an outstanding role in my success to overcome stability problems and to build up my body strength.  Being quite active, I had thought that I really didn't need additional exercise; however, his fitness expertise in developing a progressive workout routine and his personal encouragement has greatly improved my ability to accomplish strenuous work that previously was a problem.  I can now unload and stack a ton of hay without stopping to rest!"

                                          Bill Gray - Eatonville, WA

"I made more progress with Doug's direction than I have with any other health/fitness program.  I felt his expert knowledge of the human body was essential in knowing how far he could push each person and what they were capable of."

                                          Peg Robinson - Puyallup, WA

"Bill and I started a personal training program with the goal of learning how to exercise with a minimal amount of equipment so we can keep in shape at home after we retire.  Also, Bill has an old back injury that we wanted to make sure was not re-injured or aggravated.  With Doug's guidance we have accomplished our goal.  In addition, we have improved our endurance, flexibility, strength and balance.  We have sweated a lot, laughed a lot, and found a lot of strength and endurance that we didn't know we had."

                                         Linda Stephenson - Bonney Lake, WA

"I have worked with several trainers in the past.  Doug has really helped me stay on track.  He has a way of getting you to push beyond what you think you can do.  As a result, I have achieved things I have never been able to."

                                        Melody Biringer - Seattle, WA

"Doug is a wonderful teacher - he inspired me to give my all.  I looked forward to our workouts, and felt inspired to carry over the strengths I made in our workouts to my everyday life."

                                        Heather Galardo - Graham, WA

 

" Mr. Doug Carlyle exemplifies the professional fitness trainer.  Based on years of experience and strong educational credentials in his field, he has developed a system of fitness, stressing core strength, balance, and aerobic conditioning.

His system of training enables the athlete to achieve the strength and conditioning necessary for peak performance; it enables the aging population to achieve and maintain an active and flourishing lifestyle; and for the elderly, it promotes health, flexibility and resilience for prevention and recovery from injury, particularly falls.

To achieve the goals of the system, Mr. Carlyle combines cutting edge balance and exercise equipment with his own refreshing leadership style.  He promotes focus and discipline in an atmosphere of support and encouragement, while always maintaining a delightful sense of humor.

It is wonderful to see this system work.  As an emergency department specialist, I see daily the results of a lack of conditioning and strength building in the aging population leading to, among other things, obesity and heart disease.  In the elderly the lack of muscle tone and balance contributes to the primary killer in this age group, falls.

I think Mr. Carlyle has the answer.  I seek his counsel in matters of fitness and send my family to him."
