One of the best people I know. I often reflect on our sessions and recognize how they motivated me to be a better version of myself. I’ve been consistently going to the gym for 4 years since working with Bill. This man is an expert in his craft and knows how to help you reach your goals. I miss our sessions a lot. More...

Bill helped me get back into shape after each of my four pregnancies. I was in better health and physical shape than I was in my 20’s. He’s amazing. I even ran a Spartan race in my 40’s. I would not have been able to do it without him. He helped me move beyond my own insecurities and identify my mental blocks and encouraged me to persevere. “Don’t be afraid to let go of the person you were, to become the person you’re supposed to be.” Thank you, Bill! ~Anastasia More...

Facing getting back into shape with an old injury that causes me chronic pain I knew I needed help and I absolutely found the right place with Fitness Performance. Bill is incredible at what he does and knows exactly how to work with my injury to increase my strength and mobility without hurting myself -something I haven’t been able to do for more than seven years!

Bill is the absolute best!!! I’ve been to other trainers in the past and was starting to think personal training was not for me. When I went to my first session with Bill, my opinion immediately changed. He was welcoming, easy to talk to, and makes you really feel like you’re in a judge-free zone. I immediately felt I made the right choice. He has challenged me in so many ways, and continues to do so. I used to look at working out as a chore, now it’s something to look forward to! I can honestly say that I am in the best shape I’ve ever been in. Not only am I much more happy with my physical appearance, but I have higher self esteem and confidence. Thank you Bill!! More...

Bill has a charming personality and excellent leadership qualities. Despite his demanding calendar at Fitness Performance as a personal trainer, he volunteered his own free time for our Friendship Circle Sports League. He was able to take ownership of a challenging dynamic of teens and children with special needs and their buddies to ensure everyone was included and had a fun time. So many children are indebted to you for this! THANK YOU! More...

I have been training with Bill for 2.5 years. I have back issues and Bill adjusts my workout based on how the session is going. He takes great care to watch every rep to see if something is off. Since I started training with Bill, my back issues have decreased as he has helped me greatly improve my flexibility and core strength. In 40+ years of exercising, I had never worked with a trainer, and was somewhat skeptical when I started looking into it. The first time I spoke with Bill on the phone, he just seemed like the right person to go with based on his knowledge and his ability to communicate well. It was one of the best decisions I have made in my lifetime. I cannot recommend Bill highly enough. More...

Bill is excellent with decades of knowledge. He helps you to not only set goals but educates you on how to achieve them. He will create a specific workout and dietary plan for your age and body type. I don't have a lot of spare time but he will create a plan that is doable even with the most hectic of schedules. Couldn't have dropped the weight without him. More...

Bill provides personal training to my 15 year old son twice a week (one hour session each) for about a year now. My son is not an athlete, he prefers video games, but after some initial reluctance, he has become a big fan. The change to his posture and his physical appearance exhibit the self confidence he has earned as he rises to each session's challenges. Bill has a great rapport with him and has a great sense of humor. I would strongly endorse Bill as a trainer for anyone at any age, and I am extremely grateful we found him. He has hugely improved my son's physical health and self confidence. Do not hesitate to give Bill a call...He is very easy to work with. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
35 Years of experience as a personal trainer & strength and conditioning specialist. I am working with clients to improve their health & fitness and using my background in sport psychology to motivate them, utilizing mindfulness, imagery, goal setting, and working to increase a client's self-efficacy.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Having a good and healthy relationship with their kitchen. Working for a long-term goal with obtainable short-term goals.
What do you love most about your job?
Working with people. Being empathetic and understanding, removing the facades, and working as a team. They learn from me-as I learn from them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was in management for years, working part-time as a trainer. The opportunity arose to go full-time working in the field I love. Fitness is my life. I was a chubby kid and understood what it felt like to be out of shape and overweight. I wanted to help others, for I understood their internal feelings.
Why should our clients choose you?
Over 35 years of experience. Over 50,000 hours of working with clients as a personal trainer. Education and application. I am not a drill sergeant. I am empathetic and understanding, always patient. If there is something we can't do today, there is always tomorrow.
This is not GYM CLASS.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I work very well remotely. Zoom, Facetime, Google Meet. Remote services require that the trainee has minimal equipment. I have done countless remote sessions. I find that they are quite effective. I know how to observe the clients' state of being and conformity to proper exercise posture and performance through video.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have had my two Covid shots and three boosters. I wear an F94 mask. I require clients wear a cloth or nurse's mask. I disinfect equipment in my studio. I run two HEPA filtration air purifiers. I have had Flu-Pneumonia-Shingles-Whooping Cough vaccines. The health of the client always comes first.
