Doug Murphy: Washington, DC Certified Personal Trainer and Trainer Development Consultant

Welcome to my website and a whole different attitude about personal training. Ever used a personal trainer in the Washington, DC area? Did you find that the “personal” aspect seemed to be lacking? Did the workouts lack variety and seldom change? Concerned that your program was not custom tailored to your fitness level and goals, and feeling frustrated by a lack of progress?

Then you’ve come to the right place.

Looking for a personal trainer in Washington, DC? We train clients all over the city. Need a personal trainer in the surrounding Virginia and Maryland area? We cover that area as well. And you will always get the personal service of myself and my team of DC’s top trainers: Dag Gogue, Damien Woodson, and David Franklin-all with over 10 years experience each: http://dcpersonaltrainer.com/about/.

With 20 years experience as a certified personal trainer, I’ve helped many people in the Washington, DC area meet their goals, overcome limitations, and challenge themselves. Just starting? We’ll set you up with a complete personal training program that’s easy to follow, efficient and effective. Need to update or reinvigorate your current training routine? We’ll help you get past plateaus and start making progress again. Hate exercise? You’ll find a personal training experience that is not only enjoyable, but you’ll learn something in the process! No time? (I’ve never met anyone in Washington, DC who had too much free time!) We’ll help you find ways to fit exercise into your life, with flexible scheduling, in-home training, and travel workouts.

Have special needs? I work with deconditioned older adults, post-rehab clients, chronic pain sufferers, and others with multiple health challenges.

My Personal Training Philosophy and Mission

Training in Adams Morgan, Washington, DC

Every individual is capable of attaining their optimum physical condition, if made aware of their potential and how to achieve it. As a personal trainer, I’ve seen clients from ages 14 to 89 accomplish things they never thought possible. We don’t all have the genetics of a supermodel or star athlete, but everyone can improve on what they have and reach their full potential.

My mission as a personal trainer in Washington, DC is to educate my clients about exercise, diet, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, while empowering them to make the most of their abilities: through knowledge, direction and encouragement. Ever felt lost and confused when trying to work out on your own, even after using the services of a personal trainer? Never again-you’ll understand every aspect of your program. I encourage clients to take an active interest in accomplishing their goals, and I welcome their input and feedback throughout the entire training process.

Collaboration, Commitment, and Individual Attention

I see each training relationship as a collaboration, working together to make things happen.

What I look for in a client is commitment.

Are you ready to make some changes in your life?

Our personal trainers will provide the necessary tools to accomplish the end result, through progressively challenging and invigorating workouts. I believe in variety, constantly changing and evolving exercise routines to ensure continual progress and alleviate boredom.

Are you willing to give 100%?

    Stop wasting your time and money on ineffective “one-size-fits-all” personal training programs, diets and products! What works for your best friend, family member or co-worker may not work for you. It’s time you had your own diet and exercise program customized to your unique needs, abilities, goals, lifestyle, and interests.

    Want better health and quality of life? Improved function and sports performance? More energy and less stress? Greater strength, endurance and flexibility? Better balance and coordination? A lean, toned body that will do the things you want it to do? Or maybe you just want to see what you’re capable of accomplishing. It’s all possible…

    We train clients in their homes and offices throughout Washington, DC. We also train clients at select DC fitness studios, as well as my private in-home personal training studio in Northwest Washington, DC. Forget about those overcrowded gyms-you’ll be trained in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere that’s conducive to great workouts.

    For individuals that travel or live outside the Washington, DC area, location training (dcpersonaltrainer.com/fees/)may be what you’re looking for.
