He not only helped my achieved what I wanted but showed me what I needed, and that’s exactly what a coach should do.

"Will offers a great distance coaching experience. The Blacksmith Performance App tracks your workouts daily and includes instructional videos if you get lost. When you reach out to him, he is quick to respond, always patient and understanding. If you are more experienced, I guarantee he will show you something new as he is highly educated. I feel fortunate to work with him and experience great results."

Alex Demanin

"Gyms can be intimidating and many personal trainers have a "plug in and go" kind of model but Will understands that every client is unique - with their own backgrounds, experiences, and circumstances - and that's because he actually takes the time to LISTEN, to get to know his clients specific needs - which goes a long way. He's also willing go the extra mile so that his clients reach their individual goals. All that PLUS a great attitude and smile - so workouts feel fun (but still challenging). Highly recommend!"
