Wilfrid A.
I have been passionate about fitness for more than 20 years. From my own journey to personal fitness, to my first fitness facility, "Willy's Power Gym" in Benin, West Africa (with equipment built with recycle iron with a welder), my to my current focus as a personal trainer to those special clients seeking performance, fitness and wellness, I use a combination of knowledge gained from my own personal fitness regimen and techniques learned during my formal training as a personal trainer to bring my clients a wide range of fitness approaches to achieve maximum results what ever the goal is. Because I love my job and I am good at it, I train clients of all ages, levels and goals.

What to Expect
With me, a client can expect a warmup (dynamic and active stretching [if need be after a foam rolling], then the workout, and finally some static and/or foam rolling to release the muscle for better recovery. The whole session will mainly focus on the client's goal, but I will always add any corrective exercise or specific exercise I find necessary to avoid injury to my client or to improve his performance.
Client Success Story
I have Quite a long list of success stories that can be verified with the testimonials on my website: www.wilpowerforwellness.net. Hera are a few: "51 year old marathoner and ultra guy who thought he knew it all, Wil has taught me exercises, drills and stretches that have me setting personal LIFETIME bests at this age...improved explosiveness, better balance, stronger core and challenging yet fun sessions...I have no doubt Wil has knowledge and exercises that can improve all athletes, and he makes it all fun and pleasant while you work your butt off....I feel great, stronger yet lighter on my feet than ever before...THANKS WIL...." Barry H RRCA Certified Running Coach, Marathoner and Ultra runner " I have been with Wil for 2 years, I am so happy with my results! I started with 170 lb and now weigh only 134 lb. Wil has been helping me maintain it and always motivate me to workout. He is great! Very professional and serious about training he trains me hard (which I love). I have been sending all my friends and whoever want to work out and build a great body to him and they all are happy. Thank you Will for being the best" Flavia 34 years old, Satisfied client. "I had never used a trainer before and wanted to work out to get ready to climb the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu for my 70th birthday. Wil got me into shape for a successful five-day trek in the Andes. Wil is skilled, solid, careful in his work, committed to helping his clients, willing to make me work, but always sensitive to my needs and age." Carl S. "I had Wil as a personal trainer for about 2 years while I lived in Bethesda. My goals were to increase strength and muscle mass with a focus on improving my bench press. Wil was fantastic! He helped critique my form and push me to achieve my goals. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone interested in weight lifting. He's incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and an amazing trainer. Trust me, trainers of this caliber are hard to find! If the military hadn't moved me out of the area, I'd still be working with Wil!

There are lots of trainers out there and then there is Wil. After the birth of my first child, I wasn't feeling great about my body- it was definitely a "dad bod." I found Wil online and purchased a package with him. He took the time to understand my history, my goals, and my abilities. He built a training and nutritional regimen for me. Each session with Wil, he would walk be through each exercise and explain the purpose for it. Over time, he would introduce new exercises or variations to existing exercises to keep things fresh. This is very underrated because it's so easy for me to get burnt out doing the same thing over and over. His workouts are intense but Wil is such a genuinely fun guy that I found myself looking forward to them despite knowing it was going to be difficult. As time went on, I took what Wil taught me and applied it to my own workouts. It has been 1.5 years since I met Wil and the results I have achieved in that time are simply unbelievable. 12/10 would recommend Wil to anyone I know.
