Hi. I’m Rhonda Dick and I have been training with William for 10 years. I am a retired doctor and my career was spent as a Pediatric Emergency Physician at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. I’m almost 67 years old. I’ll begin by saying that my 10 years of training with William has been one of the best, if not the best, investments of time, energy and money that I’ve ever made. I’d like the opportunity to tell you about William and his training program. I have always had an interest in and enthusiasm for fitness and nutrition, and have always been physically active by playing sports, running and various other types of exercise. I realized I was losing muscle mass as I aged, so a few years before I met William I started strength training on my own at home using a barbell, dumbbells, and instructional videos. I ended up with rotator cuff damage to my right shoulder, which I now know was because I wasn’t doing balanced workouts to strengthen all the muscles around my joints, nor was I using proper form. I was forced to stop strength training due to the pain and immobility in my shoulder and I rapidly started to lose muscle and gain weight. I’d never considered a personal trainer nor thought I needed one until this happened. I met William and decided to give his training program a try. After training with William for awhile, I I realized I was at the best level of physical fitness I’d ever experienced in my life, even though I was in my late fifties. Also, my shoulder pain and limited range of motion was gone, and my shoulder felt and functioned normally. William is an exceptional personal trainer across the board. He has the educational background that prepared him for a career in personal training and he has 20 years of experience. He has the talent and ability to assess a client’s abilities, strengths, weaknesses, limitations (if any) and desired outcomes; and to design and implement a personal training program for each client to achieve results. His workout sessions are crafted to maximize overall fitness and musculoskeletal health while avoiding injury. He is a master at the balanced approach to fitness. William is very skilled at training clients at all stages of life and at any age, providing appropriate workouts for each client. After spending a decade with him as my body has aged, I have personally experienced his ability to do this. His training isn’t just about “lifting heavy weight”, but is composed of an overall approach to fitness to facilitate a client’s ability to perform activities of daily life and to do activities they enjoy. William is a wealth of information which he readily shares with his clients. I have learned so much from him about fitness and nutrition that carries over into my daily life, so that I benefit from his training all the time and not just the few hours per week that I’m in the gym. William is very skilled at working with physical limitations a client might have and with helping to improve some types of physical problems caused by injuries, surgeries, etc. Last year I had surgeries on both my knees within 4 months to have the meniscus reattached to the bone. This condition was not caused by trauma nor injury, but often occurs spontaneously in women my age. The recovery from these surgeries was debilitating and difficult as each surgery was followed by 6 weeks of non-weight bearing and minimal use of the leg. William helped me so much through this several months of immobility. He gave me exercises I could do with my upper body at home during the time I couldn’t exercise my legs. I went to physical therapy after both surgeries, but also back to the gym with William as soon as I could. He has been simply amazing at helping me recover from this. He has the knowledge and ability to adapt workouts and to help me regain strength and range of motion in my knees and legs without risking injury related to the recent surgeries. It takes several months to recover from this and William has patiently and capably worked with me to help me get back to the level of fitness I would like to regain. I would encourage anyone who wants to improve overall fitness, no matter what their current age and fitness level is, no matter what limitations they might have…to consider training with William. I believe that training with him has added so much life to my years and I hope to be able to train with him for many years to come.

William was recommended to me by a friend who went to him. I had a knee replacement coming up and wanted to work out in preparation. He was wonderful. He really listens and he knows his stuff. The recovery was easier than I expected and he was able to get me back to a normal life after the surgery. Next week I’m having my second knee replacement and I am still going to see him.

Physical fitness and weight training have been among my top priorities for most of my adult life. I have worked with several personal trainers and, because I am extremely self-motivated, I've also believed at times I could do just as well on my own. But hiring William has proven me wrong. He uses a balanced approach (including stretching, weight training, cardio, body measuring, goal setting, and nutrition advice) which achieves fast results. In fact, in the first three months of working with William, I saw better results than I did in a whole year without a trainer. I can say without hesitation, William is by far the best trainer I've ever hired.

Over the last 6 years, William has been my trainer. He has an easy going personallity that makes you feel comfortable. He pushes you, but he's always cognizant of your limits. His workouts are always specialized to your needs and he's a master at crafting programs that accommodate previous injuries and align with personal goals. Four years ago, he helped me through a car accident, which initially prevented me from doing my normal workout. William aptly developed a new and effective program to navigate around my injury - it helped me return to my previous physical capabilities. I've become stronger and healthier because of his guidance.
