Before working with Doug, I thought I had everything figured out. I thought eating less or “eating healthier” was the key to losing the weight. I went to the gym and tried running, stair master, inclined treadmill, etc. I tried this for the better part of 10 years, but what I was doing was not working…at all. Then I came across Doug Campbell and Spartan fitness. His methods worked without the need for restrictive dieting and excessive workouts. He has changed my mentality and my life. People have noticed that I have lost weight and because of him I lost around 15 pounds! If you need a personal trainer he is the man for the job. He is very transparent about the cost of the program and what the game plan will be based on your goals.

Doug was GREAT! I was searching for an online training coach, and I’m so glad I found Doug. From the beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what I wanted out of my workouts and nutrition, and he guided me every step of the way. The weekly accountability check-ins were a game changer—they kept me focused, motivated, and on track for the week ahead. As the scale and my body fat went down, Doug continued to push me to get the most out of the program. The online videos included in the program were super helpful, especially when I had questions or needed to review an exercise. And just like he says, Doug is always there if you need support. Doug doesn't just tell you what to do—he teaches you how to eat, how to track your calories, and how to keep your steps high! Over five months, I went from 186 lbs. to 176 lbs., body fat from a 17% to low 16%, and—at 60 years old—have visible abs and muscle definition. Not too bad! If you're asking yourself "Why should I start?", stop. The real question is: "Why haven't you started yet?"

I was getting fatter and fatter living in the USA and I needed to stop the middle age lump getting any bigger! Feeling lost on what my exercise and nutrition plan should look like, I turned to Doug, who delivered the goods! He worked out a personalized plan based on the gym equipment I had access to and his recipe book was amazing. He has a no nonsense approach but also caring - if you are lacking motivation or have no idea of what to do, Doug is a an excellent choice. He will tailor an exact plan for your situation.

Working with Doug has been an absolute game changer. His attention to detail is second to none — whether it’s perfecting your mindset or fine-tuning weekly progress, nothing slips past him. Every check-in feels purposeful, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about getting the best results for his clients. What really sets Doug apart is his meticulous approach to nutrition. He doesn’t just hand out a generic meal plan — he gives you evidence based information to help form your goals, habits, and preferences, with the ability to adjust which make a real difference. His advice is practical, sustainable, and incredibly effective. The results speak for themselves. Since starting with Doug, I’ve made more progress in 12 weeks than I did in years of training, (even 1:1 in-person PT) — both in terms of physique and overall performance. He’s transformed not just how I train, but how I approach fitness and health as a whole. Highly recommended to anyone serious about leveling up. Doug is the real deal.

I discovered Doug through a Youtube video thumbnail, and was skeptical at the beginning. As of writing this (16 weeks later), I've lost 14kg/30lbs and down 3 belt buckle notches thanks to Doug’s guidance and customised fitness plan. I also find his general YouTube videos, in combination with the exclusive program training videos, super informative and easy to follow. Even my kids are encouraged by my transformation - they join me in the workouts!

Working with Doug has been nothing short of life-changing. Doug is not just the best personal trainer I’ve ever had—he’s been a true source of support through one of the toughest years of my life. His expert guidance and bespoke plan helped me achieve both weight loss and muscle gain and has given me the mindset and tools to keep my gains long term. Signing up with Doug also gives you access to a ton of online training tools and also includes a recipe book, and hours of in depth video tutorials. I found the weekly check ins, and monthly face to face calls extremely helpful and his boundless enthusiasm utterly inspiring! In short, Doug’s encouragement and genuine care kept me going when I needed it most. I can’t thank him enough and find it difficult to put into words to describe how much I would Highly recommend! 5*

Doug was great. He listened to what I was trying to achieve, and taylored a plan for me. He checked in weekly as a coach, fan, and supporter of my training. He's the best program I've ever tried. Can't say enough good things about him and his program!

As someone who has tried many diets, workouts, and countless recommendations from the internet, the program I followed with Doug as my coach delivered the best results. Doug also helped me understand how to build a sustainable and excuse-free healthy lifestyle. I started this program because I liked that it’s designed for people with busy schedules who can’t afford to compromise much on time. Doug helped me become efficient in achieving both my professional goals and my health and weight loss objectives. His methods are straightforward and effective. In a nutshell, I lost 6 kg in one month just by following Doug’s advice on YouTube. When I hit a plateau, I decided to join his 12-week program, through which I lost another 8 kg—bringing my total weight loss to 14 kg with his approach.
