2015 Men’s Health Magazine’s “Next Top Trainer” Opens New Training Studio in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS - Nov. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Following his recent appearance in Men’s Health Magazine’s “Next Top Trainer”, nationally recognized Personal Trainer, Doug Sheppard has officially announced the opening of J & D Fitness Personal Training Studio in Las Vegas. The competition show, which was filmed this past April and aired online at Men's Health (http://www.menshealth.com/tags/next-top-trainer) in June, Sheppard successfully beat out hundreds of applicants from across the country for a spot as one of the eight competitors for the online mini-series, becoming on of the show's finalists. At the time of filming, Sheppard was subletting a dance studio in Vegas, running his own semi-private training and looking for his own space.

“It was something that I was always working towards, but having the editor-in-chief of the Top Men's Fitness magazine nationally tell you,‘You know your stuff’ and that he would hire you, really gave me the affirmation I was looking for,” explains Sheppard.

The new studio is unlike any gym in Vegas, with it's focused on semi-private (3 to 5 people) or private training for clients. Access to the facility is exclusive and limited by design. Sheppard notes that in addition to this catered workout experience that is based on each person's skill level, his recruitment of elite trainers offers clients the best quality instruction in the Las Vegas Valley.

Sheppard adds, “It’s all about having a structured program and top quality coaching. Many gyms follow a one size fits all mentality, but we pair individuals with a trainer that will provide an exercise with appropriate progression or regression for them or their group.”

The studio also features a workout named ‘Torch’ which is known for its high success rate of dropping inches for clients that Sheppard also designed and created. The workout helps to increase strength and improved mobility, with the choice equipment being used that includes a TRX suspension system, kettle bells, and the ultimate sandbags.

Upon sign up, each client is issued a Polar heart monitor so that their exercise intensity can be monitored throughout their workout sessions. The precise data helps take out the guesswork.

Those interested in learning more about J & D Fitness Group, Inc. can meet with Doug and his team personally at the facility located at 4180 South Fort Apache Rd., Suite E. Las Vegas. Visitors are also encouraged to ask about the studio’s ‘21 Days of unlimited personal training’ available to new clients.
