“I've worked with Bill for over a decade. He's helped me navigate a health crisis, several business crises, and ultimately get to a point where I run our business without compromising my health, my happiness, or my ambitions. Plenty of coaches can speak to one of those. Few can speak to all three with real expertise. And if that combination doesn't feel possible, Bill is living proof that it is.”
Client results
“Gained 4 pounds, added strength... I have seen growth in arms too.”
“I sincerely appreciate your encouragement Bill.”
“Did you get my message that I just pressed 205? I can't believe that! Working on 2 plates now. That's HUGE for me. You're my inspiration Bill.”
Doctor's text to Bill about a young MS patient:
“I told my patient about you and showed your pictures. She seems motivated to start exercising and eating right. Your story is changing lives!”
A peer CEO came to Bill at 310 pounds. Stressed out. Sedentary. Severely overweight with high blood pressure. His business revenues were at $110M and declining. He was working so much he didn't have energy for his kids even when he had the time.
18 months later: lost 100 pounds. No medications, just food and training. Confident, with solid boundaries. No blood pressure issues. Business revenues up 22% and making much more money. Works 8 to 2 Monday through Thursday so he has time for his kids and his nonprofit. Sold the business shortly after.
