Step by Step to a Better You
Our Company
Founded in 1997 by Dr. Vicki Haywood Doe, our company began as Vicki Doe Fitness Arts Studio in the Youngstown, Northeast Ohio area. What started as a small fitness studio dedicated to addressing the health and fitness needs of our communities has grown into a dynamic force in the health and wellness industry.
Today, we operate as Haywood Doe Consulting Co., LLC, doing business as Vicki Doe Fitness (renamed in 2012). We are a for-profit health and wellness coaching and consulting company specializing in the design and implementation of applied exercise physiology-based lifestyle interventions. Our services include medical exercise programs, health promotion initiatives, nutrition education, and lifestyle coaching tailored specifically for special populations—including individuals who are overweight or obese, high-risk individuals with chronic diseases, and women’s health groups.
Through innovative online health and wellness programs, we support not only individuals but also businesses, corporations, and organizations seeking comprehensive corporate wellness solutions and evidence-based health strategies.
Our Objectives
At Haywood Doe Consulting Co., LLC: DBA Vicki Doe Fitness, our mission is to empower individuals and communities with research-based knowledge in the fields of medicine, exercise science, and nutrition. We are committed to developing medically integrated, applied exercise physiology-based wellness programs that focus on:
- Prevention and Management of Chronic Diseases
- Healthy Living and Lifestyle Medicine
- Evidence-Based Fitness and Nutrition Education
- Specialized Programs for High-Risk Individuals and Special Populations (e.g., weight management, women’s health, chronic disease management)
Through our comprehensive online health and wellness programs, corporate partnerships, educational events, and community initiatives, we strive to create a lasting impact on the health and well-being of individuals from all walks of life.
Our Philosophy
At Haywood Doe Consulting Co., LLC: DBA Vicki Doe Fitness, our philosophy is rooted in the belief that health and wellness are not just goals—they are a way of life. We embrace the concept of “total well-being” by taking a holistic approach to health, creating sustainable programs designed to enhance and positively impact the quality of life for individuals and communities.
We recognize that achieving true wellness goes beyond physical fitness. To improve health outcomes, we must address the multiple dimensions of well-being, including:
- Physical Health: Through exercise physiology, medical exercise services, and proper nutrition.
- Mental and Emotional Health: By promoting stress management, mindfulness, and mental resilience.
- Financial Health: Recognizing that financial stability plays a key role in reducing stress and supporting healthy lifestyle choices.
- Social and Lifestyle Factors: Encouraging strong support systems, healthy relationships, and community engagement.
Our comprehensive, evidence-based approach integrates these key areas to promote balanced, healthy lifestyles that are both measurable and sustainable. By focusing on the whole person, we help individuals adopt lasting healthy behaviors that lead to improved well-being, reduced health risks, and a higher quality of life.

What is an exercise physiologist? How can they help me?
An Exercise Physiologist is an allied health professional with specialized training in the science of how the body responds to physical activity and exercise. They apply the principles of exercise physiology to help individuals improve their health, enhance physical performance, and manage or prevent chronic medical conditions through structured, evidence-based exercise programs.
Exercise physiologists are uniquely qualified to design and prescribe personalized exercise plans tailored to meet the needs of both apparently healthy individuals and those living with chronic diseases or medical conditions. They play a critical role in promoting physical health, preventing disease progression, and supporting individuals through rehabilitation and post-rehabilitation phases.
How Can an Exercise Physiologist Help You?
An Exercise Physiologist can support you in a variety of ways, whether your goal is to improve general fitness, manage a health condition, recover from an injury, or enhance your quality of life. Their expertise includes:
- Chronic Disease Management: Designing safe, effective exercise programs for individuals with conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, arthritis, respiratory diseases (e.g., COPD, asthma), and cancer.
- Rehabilitation & Post-Rehabilitation: Assisting with recovery following a cardiac event, surgery, injury, or medical treatment, focusing on restoring physical function and preventing further complications.
- Weight Management & Metabolic Health: Developing personalized exercise prescriptions to support weight loss, improve metabolic function, and manage conditions like insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.
- Sports Performance Enhancement: Helping athletes and fitness enthusiasts improve strength, endurance, and performance while minimizing the risk of injury.
- Functional Movement & Mobility: Improving balance, flexibility, coordination, and mobility, especially for older adults or individuals with mobility limitations.
- Preventive Health & Wellness: Implementing programs to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases through lifestyle modifications, including exercise, physical activity counseling, and health education.

- You need a personalized, evidence-based exercise program tailored to your specific health goals, fitness level, and medical history.
- You have been diagnosed with a chronic health condition (e.g., heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis) and require professional guidance to manage your condition safely through exercise.
