Personal Training Experience and Entrepreneurship in the Fashion and Modeling Industry
In this interview, Doug shares his journey from competitive athletics to becoming an internationally recognized fitness entrepreneur and registered dietitian.
Doug Chironno, (DougFit) talks about the unique training demands of the fashion industry and how he developed a safe, sustainable system to help models achieve agency-ready measurements while protecting their health. Doug shares insights from years of experience working with runway, editorial, and commercial talent — blending fitness, nutrition, and performance psychology to help models stay strong, lean, and confident in a competitive environment.
Fashion Models:
Doug initially started working as a personal trainer with Fashion Models in the New York Fashion District, helping just a few clients that were modeling lose inches for fittings with exercise and diet. With influence from clients being in other major editorial and production roles, Doug picked up on professional photography and partnered with several major athletic wear brands. Having to expand from personal training a few models to sometimes a bootcamp class full of 30 professional models led to the creation of HAUTE SCULPT® a workout style designed for the lean tone and flexible female figure for not only the style but the function of emerging athletic wear brands. With influence from working with fashion models, resistance bands and athletic wear brands Doug created t Haut‑Ties® a fitness accessory that doubles as both a headband and a resistance band. It’s designed to merge fashion with function, letting you wear it as a stylish hair tie or headband, then instantly use it for strength and mobility exercises.
