The Fitness Doctor represents an unparalleled service in the personal training and fitness industry. Dr. Fredrick Peters, armed with a doctorate degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology, brings a scientific approach to exercise and nutrition. Utilizing his holistic, proprietary method, Dr. Peters has created the gold standard in the field of personal training (a realm that is completely unregulated).

An Exercise Physiologist is an allied health professional who utilizes exercise and nutritional modalities to help clients become healthier. The Fitness Doctor is also trained to help manage and prevent the risk of chronic diseases or conditions. New research shows bed and rest might not be the best treatment for people suffering from cancer -- in fact, the opposite may be true.
Services
Dr. Fredrick Peters started The Fitness Doctor after earning his PhD in Clinical Exercise Physiology. His decision to go into business was prompted by his desire to help clients by offering a medical approach to personal training (an industry that is completely unregulated). Dr. Peters saw this "knowledge gap" in his own personal experience as an avid fitness enthusiast.
During your consultation, we will delve into your personal health. Dr. Peters will determine the best course of action to guarantee that you achieve your health and fitness goals. Dr. Peters will formulate your evidence-based prescription which includes exercise prescription and nutritional guidance.
The Fitness Doctor's staff of highly qualified Exercise Physiology Assistants (EPAs) will guide, motivate, and support you to elevate your fitness routine and exceed your personal expectations. We identify your specific fitness needs and creates a plan for you to efficiently and effectively achieve your desired results.
I have been battling a back/shoulder injury that doctors and physical therapists have missed for years. One consult with Dr. Peters and he had my injury pegged and began a program for me. The trainers are amazing, listening to every word I said and are incredibly attentive when doing every single motion of every workout.

There are so many positive aspects of training at The Fitness Doctor! The facility offers a professional atmosphere in a very clean, sanitary environment that has been responsive to new/changing Covid protocols. The trainers are sincerely interested in advancing the goals of clients; online scheduling is convenient as is the location in Independence. At The Fitness Doctor, I receive a great deal of support and attention to my health and self-improvement plans. Strongly recommend!

I was struggling to lose weight on my own and I’ve kinda always struggled to achieve my own goals with my physical health in general. So, I decided to give the fitness doctor a try and I also knew the founder from a while back. It’s safe to say I’ve chosen the right place. In less than 40 days I’ve not only lost 12 pounds, but I’ve also changed my entire life with their program. I’m eating and cooking real food, I am understanding how to use machines at gyms, my confidence is getting better every week, and I’m learning so much not only about physical health but mental health as well

Fred and Matt Peters have done a phenomenal job of getting my husband and I into a healthy shape. After my husband's very unexpected heart attack we now have lost weight, gained strength and are in better health than we've been in years. Best money we've ever spent

Incredibly awesome. I have been battling a back/shoulder injury that doctors and physical therapists have missed for years. One consult with Dr. Peters and he had my injury pegged and began a program for me. The trainers are amazing, listening to every word I said and are incredibly attentive when doing every single motion of every workout. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. If I could give 10 stars I would!

Matt and I met in college while playing hoops and then we became training buddies.
We honestly haven’t seen in each other since, but it’s been awesome to see his health and fitness journey grow into something professional and that he can offer help and guidance to those who truly need it.
You can tell he does something he truly loves and enjoys helping others just as much.
Keep it rollin!
I will have to stop for a visit next time I’m in Cleveland.

I am constantly amazed by the progress I have made and the things my body can do! And I can't wait to get to my next workout! The sessions are personalized, fun and focused. The trainers are awesome caring people. The other clients I have met are friendly and interesting. No one cares what you wear in this low-key private setting. And most importantly, no one will try to sell you a magic pill. If you are looking for people to help you feel better and truly get healthier, give Dr. Fred Peters a call so you can get started ASAP.
