Our training programs are carefully designed to produce maximum results for each client. Age, gender, experience level, and goals are all factors which are considered in your program design.
Whether your goal is fat loss, strength, increased muscle mass, or simply better functionality in your daily activities, we guarantee a transformation will occur.
We don't expect anyone to pay a trainer indefinitely for months or years every time they need to workout. Our aim is to provide you with the tools and the motivation to achieve your short-term fitness goals; then to provide you with the understanding for life-long health and fitness improvement and maintenance.
OUR STAFF
J.D. Doyle
J.D. originally hails from Philadelphia, PA and earned a Bachelor of Science in English Education from West Chester University. While teaching high school in South Carolina, his interest in fitness led to a part time personal training job in 1996. He became a certified fitness instructor through the National Strength Professionals Association, and eventually earned a Master's degree in Health Science from Lesley College.
He turned to personal training full time in 1998, and shortly after became the manager of World Gym in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Two years later he transferred to World Gym of West Orlando, FL for a position as Director of Personal Training. From 2001-2005, J.D. was a senior trainer at Cardio Club Fitness Center and a supervisor at Park Central Fitness Center in Orlando. He relocated to Sarasota, FL in 2005 and currently trains most of his clientele at Gold's Gym.
J.D. founded Ultimate-U Fitness, Inc. in 2001 with the purpose of combining his twin passions of education and fitness. He stands by the company's slogan, 'better training through education.' To that end, he has continued to expand his own education by reading everything he can get his hands on concerning nutrition and exercise. His own bout with low back injury in 2002 prompted him to develop a core conditioning and spinal stabilization program which he used to rehabilitate himself. He has earned several certifications in the last few years, including ACE Clinical Exercise Specialist, ISFTA Stability Ball Instructor, and HealthExcel Certified Metabolic Typing Advisor/ Nutritional Counselor.
Realizing that most people are bewildered by the deluge of conflicting theories on diet and exercise, he put together a series of seminars in 2004 to clarify and simply the process of getting in shape. Fat Loss 101 was a huge success in the Orlando area and will soon be available on audio CD. He also contributed articles to several publications and his work has appeared in Excel, Industry, Mastermind Fitness and Swimsuit Illustrated.
J.D.'s move to Sarasota led to the expansion of Ultimate-U Fitness. He created an online personal training source, www.ecoachfitness.com , to satisfy the demands of his Orlando clientele. He is now helping people all over the country to get in shape. J.D. has worked with hundreds of men and women of every age and condition: fitness and pageant competitors, disabled senior citizens, pregnant mothers, overweight teenagers, professional athletes, back injury patients, diabetics, middle-aged businessmen. 'I enjoy the challenge of helping people from all walks of life achieve their fitness goals, and working with them has ultimately made me a better trainer.'
Ultimate-U Fitness, Inc. is owned and operated by J.D. Doyle.
Jesse Rivel
Jesse is a certified personal trainer with American Fitness Professionals & Associates. She is a Licensed Massage Therapist (#MA44148), and does fitness and promotional modeling as well. She has been working with J.D. for over three years. Her speciality areas include body transformation, post-rehab exercise, and theraputic bodywork.
Jesse's personal fitness quest began in the Fall of 2002. She had been a heavy smoker for seven years, but after her mother was diagnosed with cancer, she resolved to lead a healthier lifestyle. Quitting a nicotine addiction combined with poor dietary choices led to inevitable weight gain. However, following J.D.'s training guidance and the nutritional advice given in his Fat Loss 101 program, she dropped 25 lbs. to reveal a lean & sexy physique.
Jesse continued her education by enrolling at Florida College of Natural Health, and graduated in 2004 with a degree in Theraputic Massage. Within a year, she was providing so much fitness advice to her massage clientele that she decided she might as well become a certified personal trainer.
Thanks to her background in theraputic bodywork, Jesse has a knowledge of functional anatomy that few other trainers posess. Her ability to integrate massage therapy with resistive exercise makes her an ideal match for post-rehabilitative clients. Her own motivational success story also makes her a natural choice for anyone who desires a personal transformation of their own.
Jesse explains why she chose this career path: 'The real satisfaction for me is helping people improve their self-image as much as their health. Often by altering a person's outer beauty, their inner beauty shines through.'
Our philosophy at Ultimate-U Fitness is, better training through education. In fact, our name has a double meaning. Enrolling in a training program with us is like attending a 'fitness university.' The knowledge you take away from the experience should enable you to realize your ultimate physical potential.
