After building up a cliental Doug started his own personal training business in a 1000 square foot garage which grew into Results Gym with four locations, 10,000 members and 250 employees winning the “Best Gym” award in DC for ten years in a row. In 2005 Founder Doug Jefferies began organizing volunteer trips to help the Tsunami victims in Sri Lanka which killed over 300,000 people in a a matter of minutes. Shortly after the two groups of volunteers returned from Sri Lanka Hurricane Katrina devastated the US Gulf Coast. From 2006-2009 Doug lead twelve volunteer teams to Biloxi MS where the teams de-molded, demolished, and built homes. After the 2010 Earthquake hit Haiti we focused our efforts on recruiting for three volunteer trips to Haiti. Since our first trip in June 2010, Doug lead 29 trips for over 160 volunteers.
