DOLO'S FITNESS

-Jessica L.

Before i met Dolo i have never really worked out (aside from yoga in high school).  My weight started to increase and i decided to make a change and needed help so i found Dolo.  I had gone through 3 trainers and he was the MOST supportive and the most helpful. Before i met him running on the treadmill was impossible for me but now it is part of my routine thanks to him. His workouts are absolutely crazy but he never lets me quit, even though i always want to and that's my the motivation that i need. I fit into a large for the first time in about 6-7 yrs and its thanks to him.

If I needed to rate Doyen's passion and love for what he does, his score would tip off the scale! During the summer of 2012, I decided to start training for a 5k for my ill-father. Doyen increased my running pace, built my stamina and taught me techniques that I could use once training was complete. Although the 5k was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy, Doyen instilled in me a greater level of commitment to fitness and my overall health (he forced me into better eating habits). Just go 'head & do it the dolo way!

"Intrinsically motivating, ever evolving"-  I joined Dolo's Fitness July 2014. I found the classes invigorating and the trainers push you to do your best.  I like the flexibility of the classes and variety.  Dolo's fitness is a "classroom" for better health and better you.  I consider myself to be a fragile person and am challenged with some health ailments, however, I find myself hopping, limping or gasping on my way to the next class.  It didn't occur to me that this is what I was searching for to get to where I want to be.  They push you to expand your capacity beyond the comfort zone of complacency.

"I THOUGHT I WAS FIT AND STRONG UNTIL I STARTED DOLO'S FITNESS TRAINING. I AM CHALLENGED PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY BY THE SESSIONS. I HAVE NEVER FELT SO STRONG AND CONFIDENT!"

Started with you about a year ago off and on and I've grown to admire you ! Your drive is beyond words plus your motivation is beyond workouts. At first I really wanted to give up it was hard but you were determined to get me to where I need to be or atleast a comfortable place whether  it was altering the workouts due to past injuries or our talks about eating right and staying on track or simply not giving up when I'm being difficult. Keep being one of thee best trainers I've ever encountered even tho I give you a super hard time it's all love and workouts of course !

Most people he trains call him Dolo.  I call him Doyen.  Why is that important?  Because it's a simple example of his versatility and openness to a different way of doing things.  More explicitly, I live in Texas, haven't trained at high intensity for seven years, and had an injury that pretty much kept me off a track for years.  Doyen was willing to train me remotely, offering his time via phone and Skype to track my progress, encourage me, and ensure I'm comfortable with and knowledgeable about my training regimen.  Even better, he listens to my concerns and reports, and adjusts my program accordingly.  Case in point: I've yet to run on any surface; he's helping me build my muscles and stamina through weight training and pool workouts.  He never questioned my goal, but rather got straight to work with me, and here I am seven weeks later, excited about our upcoming progress.  I highly recommend Doyen for those wanting to seek seemingly unattainable goals whether in- or out-of-state.

Attending Dolos fitness is one of the greatest life changing decisions I've made.  I started Dolos fitness boot camp class in April 2014.  Before then I was occasionally jogging but it wasn't nearly as intense and did not give me the results I wanted.  I found the fitness class on Instagram on a friends page.  I started to follow his page, and one day I saw that he had a class meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I decided to go. My first day attending the class I found it very difficult and challenging, but when I got home I made a pledge to myself that I would try the class for three months and If I don't see results I would stop. However, since then I am now 26lbs lighter, I lost significant inches from my waist , went down two to three dress size and I feel great. I have gained another level of confidence and I am satisfied with the consistent change.  Dolos fitness has become a big part of my life and I am more then grateful for that and I will continue my fitness challenge. Now I can finally say that I am addicted to fitness and I love it.

I believe it was winter of 2013 I came across Dolo's fitness page. I needed some help as my wedding was that summer. 

I've already had my share of trainers, and I was not looking forward to the yelling or cursing that I've  experienced in the past but I braced myself and made the call. The initial conversation I was hooked. 

Dolo is a different kind of trainer. Dolo truly cares about his clients, their well being and their progress. He doesn't use scare tactics, he doesn't down talk you. Dolo is an encourager, who supports and pushes you.

At times I get tired of the cliché phrases but they truly work.

 

Dolo's way truly works, if you put in the WORK!!!

I am thoroughly enjoying my work out exercises with Dolo.  He has excellent working relationships with the other coaches and with the students , which allows me to be very comfortable .  Dolo also brings a high level of energy to everything he does ,  while encouraging me to have a clear focus, and pursue the workout with seriousness and dedication.  I am also impressed by the way in which Dolo is able to modify some  of the moves because I am a  " matured adult ".I am very happy to be a part of Dolo 's exercise group.

I have never been an athletic person or a health food junkie…and I still am not. I definitely go through periods where I wish I didn’t have to work “so hard” to achieve a particular weight loss goal. I also look in the mirror often and say “I want my cheerleading body back”. There came a point though, where I decided I needed to do SOMETHING differently if I ever wanted to finally look in the mirror proudly. I was referred to Dolo by my god-sister who has known him for years and has been training with him for a very long time. I’ve worked with a few trainers before, and Dolo is by far my favorite just because no one has EVER pushed me in the way that he does. His workouts are not easy, nor should they be. He has a very no-nonsense attitude, which makes me think “Okay, he’s not joking”, and that forces me to just get the exercise done, even if it’s a little slower than we’d ideally like, even if I’m completely breathless at the end of it. Dolo cares very much about progress, not perfection, and since it’s a process, he’s realistic – he realizes that everyone is different but simultaneously, he won’t accept mediocrity, especially when he knows what you’re capable of.  Since I started working out with Dolo, I prepare my lunches for work every week, we talk about food what I’m eating, and I feel confident enough to go to a gym by myself. Stepping into a gym used to give me anxiety as I watched men and women with perfect bodies do seemingly complicated moves that I thought I couldn’t and the result was feelings of shame and inadequacy. Now, when I’m not in a session with Dolo or doing kickboxing, I’ll just take bits and pieces from workouts I do with him. Boom. There’s your one hour workout at the gym! No guess work. I’m constantly learning too, because we don’t do the same things over and over. Literally when I think that workouts can’t get any more challenging or crazy, Dolo proves me wrong. Once I reach my goal, I’ll continue working with him because I like having someone who motivates me in that comes as more of a challenge for me, and holds me accountable to the commitments I’ve made to being responsible about my health. I can absolutely stay the course if I have moral support, which is what I get from Dolo.
