Joachim's Training

Highly highly recommend Joachims Training! Doug is the absolute best! My boyfriend and I wanted to train together and after a few months we are both stronger, leaner and more committed to our goals. Doug is very attentive to our individual needs, amending work out plans to fit our strengths and accommodate (and improve) our weaknesses. Hes extremely responsive to our requests, even in-between sessions and customizes homework for us each week. Ill never look forward to push ups, but I do look forward to getting Dougs report on my week to week push up progress.

Ive been training with Doug for around 8 months now and cant recommend him enough! Hes super knowledgeable about nutrition/exercise and has helped me build strength while being careful of my injuries. Hes also just a very personable and interesting person. Would highly recommend!

Ive been working with Doug for six months now and Im in the best shape of my life. His dedication to health & fitness extends beyond the job. He is intelligent and always includes peer reviewed studies / articles when he shares information. He shares in his clients frustrations- when I told him that I had the tendency to fall off from workout routines mid-week, he started sending me texts mid-week to keep me on track. He is both realistic and inspiring when it comes to setting goals. His approach is geared towards life changes that can be sustained long after the initial weight loss / muscle gain. Hes funny, always greets you with a smile and just a cool guy. No apartment / space is too small. I am not exaggerating when I say working with Doug has been a life changing experience for me.

I cannot recommend Doug highly enough. About six months ago I found Doug/Joachim's Training via Google search and had my doubts about the success of the random search and outreach. I was simultaneously looking for physical therapist and/or a personal trainer - I needed to find a relatively affordable solution to coaching and fitness - someone who could push me to my max. and help me build strength (and look better for my wedding) without triggering injuries that resurface every time I try to self-train (going on 10+ years of these pesky pains). Doug has been the perfect solution to my problems! We work together on a weekly basis (and he gives me homework) and he holds me accountable. He pushes me to train harder (more reps, increased weight, etc.) while modifying exercises as/is needed to accommodate my old injuries. That said, we're not sacrificing our ability to hit certain muscle groups so I am making progress towards my goals. Doug takes a well-rounded approach to fitness, which works for me. We focus on work-outs, but we also discuss sleep, steps, diet, stress, etc. We're realistic and playing the long game, but after ~5 months I've already converted fat to muscle (dropping 2%+ body fat) and shred inches from my arms, legs, hips, and waist. Shredding for the wedding and strengthening to get pregnant, I couldn't have found a better trainer. Thanks Doug!
