Doug Ross Owner

As the owner of Fitness Together, I want to share a little about myself. I graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a B.S. degree in Management as a scholarship middle distance specialist on the varsity Track & Field team. After spending the majority of my life as an athlete, I developed a sedentary lifestyle while working in corporate America.

As a result of my inactivity and office job, I gained nearly 50 lbs and was tired, stressed, sleepless, and embarrassed about my appearance. After discussions with my wife, and with the thought of how my family would fair without their father, I rededicated myself to my passion of athletics, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle.

I began exercising, dropped the weight, started racing again and eventually became a competitive triathlete. With this newfound inspiration, I left the corporate world behind and earned my Personal Fitness Trainer Certifications from the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), The American Council on Exercise (ACE), and through FFLFC.

I have dedicated my life to sharing my personal experience with others and offering the professional assistance they need to regain control of their lives and realize their dreams. As a result, I have helped numerous people achieve their goals, while spreading the message of health through volunteer activities here in Austin. I currently serve on Mayor Will Wynn's Mayor's Fitness Council, am actively involved in the Young Men's Business League of Austin (YMBL), a Membership Committee representative of the Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce, an official sponsor for Team Tacodeli's MS150 Ride, and have served as a guest lecturer in the Kinesiology Department at the University of Texas.

My staff and I have a wealth of knowledge we would love to share and help you enjoy each and every day of your life.. I know how hard it can be sometimes, but rest assured, with our help we can make your dreams a reality.
