My son Alexander started working with Coach Doug when he was 11 years old. Initially he primarily worked with him on baseball fundamentals, agility, and some strength training. Doug is an excellent coach, extremely knowledgeable, and works great with kids. He was able to improve Alexander’s overall game, fielding, throwing and hitting. When Alexander was 12 he decided to focus on basketball instead of baseball. Coach Doug was fantastic he changed his entire workout to focus on what he needed to excel in basketball particularly his jumping. Alexander went from a 12 year old who had never played on an organized team to a starter on his middle school A team a year later. A large part of his quick improvement was due to Coach Doug. He made him faster, stronger, more agile, and able to jump. Now as a freshman in High School Alexander continues to see Coach Doug and is now starting on his Freshman team, as well as playing on the JV team. He has continued to get stronger and faster, in fact he is one of the fastest, and strongest players on the team as a power forward and center, and is able to dunk as a freshman. I credit him with Alexander’s rapid improvements and physical abilities. He tailors each workout to the individual athlete, and what their goals are. He ensures they work hard, are motivated, and get everything they can out of each workout without injury. I am confident Alexander would be nowhere near the player and athlete he is if he had never worked with Coach Doug. I would highly recommend Coach Doug for anyone hoping to improve as an athlete.

Doug Hoag is the best in the business. I was really out of shape and my knees hurt really bad due to five knee surgeries. When Doug started working with me, within a matter of six months, I lost 40lbs of fat and gained 10lbs of muscle. I did not have any more knee pain and in fact it has been twenty years since I could touch a regulation basketball hoop. The things I thought I knew about working out were not correct. Being a former wrestler and football player, my perception of weight training was based on ego and power. Ultimately, all I was doing was tearing my body up and making me weaker. Doug taught me more about having a healthy stronger body than anyone ever could. He is the real deal! If anyone is looking for a trainer that is in it, because he truly cares about helping people to enrich their lives by leading any age any activity desired to achieve better results in your own life. If you are looking for someone that can help you achieve any fitness goal without being aggressive or greedy. Try him out, you won’t be let down.
