ABOUT US

In 2003, after honing their skills as personal trainers on Long Island, New York, Judy Paris, and her husband, Doug Sheppard decided to head west and relocate their training practice to Las Vegas. The fitness couple were able to quickly establish their names as knowledgeable and professional trainers in the community. They worked in the general population and were successful in helping people to move better, decrease body-fat, and increase lean muscle mass.

Along with training people in Southern Nevada, the couple were hired as instructors to teach a personal training course for the World Instructor Training School (WITS) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) campus. It was this experience that piqued the interest in Doug to develop and mentor other coaches.

After becoming a finalist in the Men’s Health magazine, America’s Next Top Trainer competition in 2015, Doug decided to take the jump and open a personal training studio. After opening, the studio received positive reviews and was quick to establish a benchmark of expert coaching in a fun and inviting atmosphere.

The mission of J and D Fitness Personal Training is to create an experience where empowered coaches can guide and encourage others to improve. The studio offers private and semi-private training. The studio is open Monday through Saturday.
