“Each SLINKFIT personal training program is developed on sound principles that are appropriate for everyone, but applied through a system created just for your body. Doug works closely with you to evaluate your physical needs and goals, so you can attain a healthy, conditioned, and resilient body - not just for a moment, but for a lifetime.”

THE philosophy

How we move is proof of how our muscles, joints, ligaments and bones work together. A body that is out of sync on the inside stumbles on the outside, whether it’s a twinge when lifting groceries, ongoing recovery from a persistent sports injury, or just the feeling that the spare tire around your waist will never go away.

The muscles you can’t see are often the ones that perform the most important functions. The SLINKFIT system explores this connection, developing your body’s core structure inside for a stronger outside. SLINKFIT looks beneath the surface of each individual to identify and correct mechanical inefficiencies.

 

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Testimonials

“I've trained with Doug (Slinkfit) for 15 years now! He is very knowledgeable, and more importantly, an outstanding form coach which is crucial to maximize gains while minimizing risk of injury. What I find even more valuable is his knowledge and experience in improving posture and gait, things that become automatic to us, but can sometimes become maladapted due to our tech lifestyles and office jobs. Doug can tailor plans for people of ANY age. He works with athletes, weekend-warriors, and even couch potatoes ready to make a change. I'd strongly recommend just contacting him for a consult, as it will immediately be apparent upon meeting with Doug that he knows his stuff, is NOT intimidating, and will quite possibly be exactly what you need...whether you need help becoming the very best you can be, or simply someone to help you take your first step toward better physical health.”

- Dr. David Ruder, DDS

“I wish I could give Doug a 10 star review!!!

I have been training with Doug for just 3 weeks, going twice a week. I am SHOCKED at how much he has helped me to accomplish in this short amount of time!!!

I’m 62 years old, and have never used a personal trainer before. My balance and flexibility are dramatically improved, I can see results after every time I workout! And I’m amazed at how much stronger I am. What I like the most about Doug is that he watches my technique, giving me immediate feedback if I need to correct something. He also describes what muscles each exercise is intended to trigger and strengthen, which helps me to focus on ensuring I get the most out of each rep.

For the first time in my life, I’m going to have a strong core 💪 Thanks, Doug!”

- Terri V, Retiree

“For years before working with SLINKFIT, I had always done the traditional bench presses, reps,bicep curls, and so on. Doug’s approach and methods really changed my perception of working out and being fit. I have now trained with Doug for over four years. Each time I complete a cycle of training, I experience a significant improvement in my strength,coordination and conditioning. Doug is very open to sharing his knowledge. I learn more than just the “how-to.” I also learn the “why.” He is very patient with my many questions. If you live or work in the Kansas City area, be sure to set up a one-on-one with Doug. You will not be disappointed.”

:As an orthopedic surgeon specializing in spinal disorders, I’m always interested in ways to improve the overall health of patients without surgery or during recovery. A friend suggested I look into the elements of SLINKFIT for strengthening the body’s core. I soon started my own SLINKFIT program and after just 6 months, my spinal posture, stamina, and athletic capability have been forever changed. My work with Doug has given me a healthier perspective and new appreciation for functional movements. I'm eager to incorporate his techniques in the care of my patients”

R. Chris Glattes, MD, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon

:“I’ve been an elite athlete for ten years, but always had the frustration of a recurring shoulder injury. When I returned from World Championship competition with nagging pain that lasted beyond physical therapy, I talked to Doug. He considered my chronic injury from a unique perspective, analyzing my total body movement and compensation. Since working with SLINKFIT, my athletic performance and biomechanics in my daily activities have improved, and most of all, my shoulder is pain-free.”

Kelly Salchow, USA Olympic Rowing Team
