I can’t say enough good things about Doug as a trainer. As someone who deals with chronic back pain, I was very hesitant to start working out again out of fear that it would cause me to get injured. Doug was very understanding and was able to design a workout program that allowed me to grow in both strength and confidence at my pace. After working with him for almost a year my pain has significantly improved and I feel great! Doug is professional, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. He’s definitely worth a try.

I love DSM Fitness! First of all, Doug is compassionate and focused. He creates an amazing workout routine that challenges you and surprises you. In other words, you are going to sweat (a lot) and want to curse him out BUT you find that you are stronger and braver than you imagined. Doug is friendly and encouraging and his sense of humor and commitment to you and your goals are humbling and refreshing. Yes, he pushes you but after the sweat and soreness...you will thank him! Trust me, you will get the results you want! You will become healthier, stronger and amazed at your accomplishments.

I've worked out with Doug on and off for the past 15 years. When I was diagnosed with arthritis of the shoulders and was in so much pain and physical therapy had limited impact, Doug developed a back and shoulders workout for me that to date, has eliminated my shoulder pain and rarely even take Aleve. I am training with Doug again to improve my strength and resistance as I want to do more Tough Mudders and Spartan Races without injuring my shoulders. Getting great results and seeing great improvement in my cardio endurance and strength.

There aren't many 56-year-olds who can hold a 5-minute plank. I'd be willing to bet that all of us who can are Doug Murphy's clients.
Doug is an outstanding personal trainer who is dedicated to the healthy pursuit of your personal goals. I have trained with Doug for about 10 years.

We love it! This is the best gift to give yourself. Doug has trained my husband and me for the past year or so. My husband and I had different relationships to exercise and fitness levels. Doug tailored a different program for each of us. He is really a pleasure to work with and he also knows how to keep you pushing yourself so you see the results. He adjusts every workout to keep it interesting and to be sure you are accomplishing your objectives. He works with injuries as well. I had a chronic tight neck issue that disappeared after working with him. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced

I started working out with Doug because I realized that I was not in the shape that I wanted to be in. I was 240 pounds and was heading towards the point of obesity and health implications. My goals were to lose at-least 40 pounds and build muscle so that I would have less fat. The workouts required a lot of energy and they were very tough to say the least, but I’m thankful for them because the results were amazing. I lost 50 pounds and now I’m planning to lose another 30 pounds to get to a weight that I am comfortable in. I can honestly say that if it hadn’t been for Doug and his plan I’d

I had tried different fitness trainers in the DC area and was disappointed by their lack of professionalism, absence of variety of workouts, and failure to personalize training sessions. I was looking for a trainer who paid attention to the individual needs of clients, followed progress and kept training sessions goal focused. Then I found Doug!
