Lucky Great Barrington! I worked with Doug twice a week for 15 years. There is no one better!

I feel stronger, more energetic, and my posture has improved. I feel more limber, too.

This is the best thing that has happened to my back. Nothing before this has helped like this. Now I feel great.

— Elaine N.
“

The individual instruction has helped me improve my technique and has challenged me to go further. Both instructors give easy to follow detailed directions. No two sessions are the same, and the variety of exercises keeps it interesting.
