Client Testimonials
Team Miller is absolutely the best in all of the services that they provide. I contacted Stephanie Miller because I was considering entering a figure competition and saw that she offered a Competition Prep/Figure Coach service. After looking at her photos, I was inspired and felt that she would be the perfect person to help me. Just minutes into my initial consultation with her, I was sold. I told her, sign me up for the 12-week workout and nutritional program! Within a few days, Team Miller delivered a diet and exercise program that completely transformed my physique.
My exercise routine at the time, had become boring and stale. I felt frustrated and stuck because I wasn't seeing any gains at the gym. After my first workout on the program, I knew I would begin to see changes. There was one workout in particular where I remember saying out loud at the gym "Oh my goodness...this is like boot camp!" The variety of exercises, sets and reps in the program are what kept my body "guessing" each time I went to the gym. The program never allowed my body to get used to a routine, so it kept me from hitting a plateau.
In conjunction with the exercise and nutritional program, I also used Core Nutritionals supplements. The supplements worked wonderfully and I never ONCE experienced a negative side effect. They were all safe to use and provided much assistance in my transformation. Every week, I was seeing more muscle and definition. People would come up to me and ask me what I was doing differently because the changes were that obvious!
Throughout the 12 weeks, Stephanie and Doug kept in contact with me almost daily either through e-mail or phone. They promptly answered my MANY questions and often went out of their way to keep me motivated and on track. Stephanie provided a lot support on the days that I felt discouraged. She is such a gentle and kind person that truly takes the time to understand where her client is coming from.
I owe my competition success to Team Miller because without their help, I wouldn't have been able to reach this goal and place 1st in my class and division at the show. Pictures don't lie and I have the proof! If you're looking for professional and motivating trainers, Team Miller is for you! You won't be disappointed...trust me!

I decided to get back into competitive natural bodybuilding after 10 years away from the stage. I soon realized that regardless of what I knew worked for me in the past and how focused I was to succeed, I could never come into a competition on point. “Ten more pounds” was the feedback I received from numerous judges after each show. “Ten more pounds” was never enough and I was beginning to think that maybe I just don’t have the physique for competition. Finally, at the ’08 Cape Cod Classic I approached Doug Miller, who I felt provided competitors with very honest and constructive feedback. I asked him I should just hang it up. Doug said absolutely not.
I started with Team Miller in November with the goal of getting on stage for the ’09 Spirit of America in April. Doug and Stephanie Miller created a diet, supplement, and work out program tailored specifically for me based on my body’s response during a reconditioning phase. They also took into consideration my work schedule. My progress was constantly monitored through daily e-mailed weight checks, weekly pictures, and feedback as to how I was feeling. Adjustments to my diet, supplements, and workout program were made as needed.
Regardless of the day or time, if I had a question or concern, Doug contacted me immediately. One day, a month before the competition, I was suddenly stricken with terrible flu symptoms. I e-mailed Doug and he called me immediately. Our new goal became getting me well again, we would think about the competition after that. His remedies began to work the very next day. Within the week, I was back on the program.
Peak week was awesome. I never expected my body to react the way it did. The transformation from one day to the next was amazing. Doug met me at the Cape the day before the show to go over posing one on one. Until now, he had been giving me tips through pictures and e-mail. It was great having this time to fine tune some of my poses. For the first time, I felt ready… I felt like I belonged on that stage.
After not placing at all during the previous seasons, I took 2nd place in the novice class and 4th in the open-men’s class at the ’09 SOA. The biggest honor was being recognized as the most improved bodybuilder.
Team Miller has a no-nonsense, individualized “Crush It” approach to the sport of competitive bodybuilding. Doug and Steph are dedicated, very honest, and knowledgeable. I trust that they have the ability to guide me towards reaching my fullest potential as a competitive bodybuilder. I have continued to work with Doug and Steph “because there is no off season!” I look forward to doing so throughout the 2010 season when I plan on hitting the stage once again.

Team Miller can’t be beat!
I’ve been working with Doug and Stephanie Miller for almost a year now. I originally did a handful of personal training sessions with Stephanie in winter of 2007 because I was looking for some motivation to kick my training up a notch. And boy did I get my money’s worth! I got great results not just from the training sessions but also from the diet and training knowledge that she passed on to me. She made suggestions on ways to improve my eating habits and answered any questions I could come up with on how to improve my overall fitness. I put all her guidance into action and continued making rapid progress on my own after our training sessions were over.
A month or two later, Team Miller opened an online forum and Stephanie invited me to join it. I joined and continued to get great support, information and feedback from her, Doug and the other forum members at no charge! The results I was getting from my training and diet were so encouraging that by spring of 2008, after I attended a figure competitor’s seminar hosted by Team Miller, I decided to finally pursue a dream of mine by entering a figure competition. Doug and Stephanie did my contest prep for me and in 13 weeks I had won 2nd place in my first show! 1st place went to another Team Miller Figure competitor, so it’s obvious who the best trainers were at that show!
Many thanks to Team Miller for giving me the tools and support to pursue my dream and change my life!

My objective over the last 10 years was to be as big and strong as possible. I was always knowledgeable about “weight lifting”, but nutrition wasn’t my strong-point. I ate anything and everything to fuel me for my workouts. I thought eating until I felt full, or couldn’t move in some cases, was ideal. The more calories I consume, results in the heavier weight I can move and the more size I put on, right? Who cares if I can’t see my abs, but if I could bench press a truck, none of that matters! Well, on the other hand, I always knew I was getting too large for my frame. I’m 5’ 7” (which is generous) and weighed 205 lbs the beginning of this year. It was time to see what was under all my fat!
While training at Ballston Gold’s Gym, I had the privilege of meeting Doug and Stephanie Miller. At the gym, I was drawn to their intensity and focus. Moreover, I was impressed by their strength and physique. After getting to know them, I learned that they train athletes for bodybuilding shows and are fellow competitors. From their personal and client’s accomplishments, I knew I could trust them for guidance.
On February 1, 2009, I reached out to Team Miller and was ready to start dieting for my first show. Prior to starting, they met me for a consultation and came up with a detailed game plan. They were patient and answered all my questions about bodybuilding. Team Miller informed me on which supplements I will be taking, my schedule for meals, as well as my work-out routine. One month later, we started and I quickly experienced fat loss, as well as improvements in gaining lean muscle mass. Today, I report my daily progress and adjustments are made accordingly. We have a goal and Team Miller understands what we have to do to accomplish it!
The supplements recommended by Team Miller are by Core Nutritionals and USP Labs. Currently, I am taking:
