This Is Our Story
Melissa and I have been married for 8 years, are blessed with three beautiful grandsons, and have three rescue-pups. We both have a passion for helping people reach their health and fitness goals.
Our fitness journey together began in 2015. We had been working out together for a while, when Melissa decided she wanted to step out of her comfort zone, and do something challenging for her 40th birthday!
Well, I talked her into letting me train her for, and ultimately competing in her first bodybuilding competition! The rest is history!
Just as we do as a couple, and now as your coaches, we will give you the support and accountability needed to help you work towards your goals and keep you on track in the process.
Frequently asked questions
What Makes Your Programs Different? Will They Work For Me?
If you haven't had success with other workout apps in the past, you may be skeptical about ours. But we're here to tell you, we guarantee you'll get the results you want with Donny King Fitness. Why?
We don't give you one-off programs of PDF documents with no assistance. We are continually adding new programs (with interactive, explanatory videos on a daily basis. Our content is new, fresh, and ever-changing to keep you motivated and ready to work!
Plus, if you need help, Melissa and I are always here for you. You can message us directly if you have any questions, feedback, or simply want to share your success.
How Do Your Programs Work?
We call them Workout Series rather than “programs” because they’re designed to give you both structure and flexibility. Each series is a 4-week block, built to guide you step-by-step through safe progressions while still allowing you to mix and match sessions when you need variety.
Each of our four-core Workout Series - 1. Foundations, 2. Lean & Toned, 3. Glute Builder, and 4. At Home - include 3-4 workouts per week (adjustable to your fitness level). Every workout is meant to be done in order, week by week, so you can train with confidence and see results at every stage.
What Makes You and Melissa Different From Other Trainers?
As personal trainers and nutrition coaches, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with aging, particularly for those of us over 40. Our role goes far beyond simply instructing clients on fitness routines and nutrition plans. We firmly believe in leading by example, which is why we consistently practice what we preach.
With both of us over 50, Melissa and I consistently exercise 4-5 times a week, follow a balanced, goal-oriented diet, and maintain a lifestyle that supports our long-term health and fitness goals.
We know the effort it takes to stay consistent, the importance of setting realistic goals, and the patience required when progress feels slow. These ex
I Am A Beginner, Which Series Should I Start With?
Our Foundations - Beginner Series is designed for women over 40 who are ready to start their fitness journey the right way.
This series helps you build a strong, well-rounded foundation by combining strength training, cardio, and recovery into a balanced program.
With 3 workouts per week, customizable based on your current fitness level, you’ll gain the confidence, knowledge, and results you need to stay consistent. Each workout progresses at a steady, manageable pace to help you improve strength, build muscle, and boost overall fitness without feeling overwhelmed.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to listen to your body, adjust when needed, and create habits that last for years to come.
I Have Bad Knees. Can I Modify Any Of The Workouts?
Yes! We encourage women with various health concerns (such as joint pain, osteoporosis, or previous injuries) to join. Our programs offers modifications to ensure exercises are safe and effective for your body while still delivering results.
Do I Have To Follow The Workouts In Order?
For best results, we recommend completing each 4-week series in order. But if you’re short on time or looking for variety, you can also choose any workout as a stand-alone session.
What Happens After I Finish a 4-Week Series?
You can repeat the series for continued progress, move on to a new series, or mix in your favorite workouts—it’s all designed to keep you moving forward without hitting a plateau.
