I have been training professionally since 2007.  Prior to that I trained, but not under any certification, just what I learned from being in the gym since high school, what I learned in the Marines, and of course from my “MONSTERS”..  I began my Personal Training career in January 2007 with 24 hour fitness, and had the pleasure of learning the trade from a fellow Marine, and Outstanding trainer (we still work together as independent trainers).

I quickly moved up the ranks from personal trainer, to assistant fitness manager, & then  promoted to take on the roll of the fitness manager, but still under the title of assistant fitness manager due to club size. I quickly moved our gym from last place to 1st place in our area..  But the demands of a manager wore on me, and I left a year after…

Moving on in my training career, I found myself in the cross hairs of Gold’s Gym and Equinox.. Both had a lot to offer, but having a family I chose the one closer to home – Gold’s..  I found my home.. for now.. But I knew I was destined to be self employed. I knew I would not be there too long… I worked with some great people there, and learned a lot (I learn everywhere I go, I feel like this is one of my greatest strengths).

Although “MONSTER in Training” was already a work in progress, I hadn’t developed it much.. I was teaching boot camps a few times a week at different parks… But I had much bigger plans… That’s when my phone rang….  Me: hello??  Marlon: Whats up Willy - This guy hit me up, today about going independent.. are you ready to come with me?  Can I give him your #?  Me: go for it, I’ll listen and see whats up…. 1 hour later  ring, ring… Me:  Hello??  MALLORY: is this “William”?  ME: yes sir, how can I help you?  and a whole lotta talking….. I agreed to try “BODY-MECHANIX” a fitness Co-op.. which helps the gym owner find personal trainers, helps clients find trainers & helps trainers find a place to call home.. All the while teaching trainers, how to “build their business” and providing resources to help everyone in the co-op… 18 months and counting it’s still going great..

As for me personally I am a father to a beautiful little girl, and Step father to another beautiful girl.. And husband to a beautiful Wife (10/15/2011).  I enjoy outdoor events, sports, Crossfit, barefoot running (although I use my vibram 5 fingers not totally barefoot), extreme activities/sports i.e. Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash, GORUCK, etc.. I love the adrenaline high from them.  I spent 4 years in the Marines, I love showing people what they CAN do..  The words “I can’t” do not exist to me, and I won’t allow you to quit… We set out on a journey together and I will never leave a man/woman behind.  I use the Marine “core values” Honor, Courage, and Commitment” in my life daily.  I am Honest and upfront about everything I say and do,  I have the Courage to acknowledge when I am wrong or do not have the right answer, and I have the Commitment to find the right answer and see you to your goal!!
