J.D. Doyle

J.D. Doyle 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 later that year, and earned a Master's degree in Health Science from Lesley College in 1999. He has since earned several certifications, including ACE Clinical Exercise Specialist, ISFTA Stability Ball Instructor, and HealthExcel Metabolic Typing Advisor.

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.” His seminars have made him a popular speaker in Sarasota and Orlando. His articles have been published in Excel, Industry, Mastermind Fitness, Fitness Marketing Letter, and Swimsuit Illustrated. His training programs have been featured in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, The Siesta Key Pelican Press, ABC-7 News, and Positive Change magazine.

Since J.D.’s move to Sarasota in 2005, he has pioneered several innovative concepts designed to help people of all ages and experience levels achieve total fitness. The Shape Up Sarasota Fat Loss Challenge, the Beach Body Boot Camp, the Teen Fitness Challenge, the Ultimate Back Fitness Core Conditioning Program, and E-COACH, the Online Personal Training Solution, are some examples of his programs.

J.D. has worked with hundreds of men and women of every age and condition: fitness 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.
