More About Coach Doug

I'm a personal trainer and boxing coach with over 17 years experience. I have coached boxers ages 4 and up - including a Chicago Golden Gloves champion and Golden Glove semifinalists.

In addition to one on one boxing and personal training, I have taught/teach group boxing and cardio boxing classes.

I was the fitness coordinator/personal trainer at the Northwest Athletic Club in Itasca for 15 years, and am currently teaching Hot Boxing and Boxing 101 at TriBalance in Schaumburg.

I also coached baseball at St Joseph H.S. for 2 years. I have a degree in Exercise Science and Fitness Management from Concordia University and am CPR/AED certified.

As a boxer, I competed for over 12 years. I fought in 5 Chicago Golden Gloves - 1 runner-up, 3 x semifinalist. Learned how to box at the famed Windy City Gym, and have sparred and fought many top area fighters over the years. I played 4 years varsity baseball in college - 3 of them as starting CF and lead-off hitter.

A typical session begins with warm-up drills. Depending on the clients level of experience, new skills and techniques are introduced, as well as recap of previously learned skills. These skills include efficient, proper punching technique along with defensive skills. Boxing conditioning follows - utilizing techniques and skills acquired to date. Sessions generally end with cardio and core/ab conditioning. Clients wishing to be trained in personal training other than boxing will be evaluated and a program will be formed based on their goals, fitness condition, and exercise experience.

Coach Doug is an Awesome Coach!! I would recommend to anyone of all ages. He took on me and my 10 year old son for a private lesson and both of us are just starting out. He was able to guide us on the basics and explain the importance of the steps involved and was very encouraging throughout the session. We will be returning and recommended him to friends and family.

Coach Doug is an incredible teacher to the art of boxing!!! I learned more in one session then I did in over a year of training at abother facility. His positive reinforcement with his ability to pinpoint even the most minor mistakes makes him an incredible instructor, but he also cares about your goals. Highly recommended and I guarantee you won't find anyone better!!!!

Coach Doug has taught me the proper fundamentals of boxing and I am very pleased with my progress.

Within the first 10 minutes, Coach Doug was able to quickly assess my skill level and begin to address some key areas for improvement. Some weaknesses had been pointed out by other coaches - which was helpful confirmation- and some other gaps indicated by Coach Doug were completely new to me. Doug's critique is accurate, constructive and directed toward improvement. Coach Doug is able to tailor the lessons to any skill level and interest. The gym and ancillary equipment are also set-up for realistic training at any level. The gym is fully equipped with boxing ring, speed bag, heavy bags, slip ropes and plenty of room to run. For pro-style coaching with a friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend Coach Doug.

Great gym. Great coach. Very good at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking to learn the sport or even someone that just wants a good workout.

Coach Doug is excellent-- he can work well with all types of clients and is great at training/boxing--

I highly recommend Coach Doug

Doug is a really motivated, passionate, inspiring, and great coach. We've worked a couple of times and so far I've noticed my technique and endurance improve dramatically. He is very dedicated and knowledgeable and explains things very well. He introduced me to the slip rope, crazy bag, and speed bag and explained each very well. He fixed technique issues during pad work very fast. I would definitely recommend him to both experienced and non experienced boxers!

Coach Doug is an excellent teacher with a lot of clear knowledge to teach his clients with. The first workout consisted of nailing footwork (important in proper movement and punching) with proper hand/elbow positioning which all lead to the beginning of punching techniques. I would highly recommend coach Doug to anyone interested in boxing!

Amazing working with our 9 year old son- highly recommend!

I've been boxing for some time now and before meeting coach Doug, my previous trainers hadn't even show me what a slip rope was let alone actually using one. Yet on my second session I was learning how to use the slip rope. I've been through a few coaches/trainers and I've always felt that they never took me seriously about fighting. However, with coach Doug he's not taking me fighting lightly. I told him my goal of going to the Olympics and he will get me there. He not only tweaks my techniques but he throughly explains the reasoning why it's done a certain way. I'm not much for " meeting people" on line but in this case, I'm very glad that I found the coach up site. Moreover, I'm very glad I chose coach Doug as my trainer. Together I know my goal will be achieved!!!

I Can't say enough about Doug
In just five sessions He's helped me understand a lot !!!
From throwing punches , footwork , defense he's a great coach makes you feel comfortable from the beginning .
He points out flaws and helps you try to correct them .

I highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn the sport of boxing or just for a good workout .
I look forward to working with him for a while

Coach Doug is very hands on and makes sure that you understand exactly what is the proper technique. He is very passionate about training boxers and his knowledge of boxing is also very high. I felt like I improved after the 1st session and look forward to working with him more.

Great coach. I used to take group lessons for boxing and I never learned a thing. With Doug he taught me the basics from bottom-up. he was patient, and looked like he enjoyed teaching me. Overall, great workout and great learning experience.
