It is a vigorous and fun workout. Billy pushes and Kyla supports. What a team! The challenge is to make yourself do better and it works. I can't wait for my next session.
Billy will get your blood pumping and the sweat dripping. Billy will also push you harder, faster, higher, longer and stronger than you thought you could go.
Kyla was awesome... I will absolutely recommend her to any and all of my friends!
Billy is extremely focused to make certain that I am getting the maximum benefit from each movement while protecting against injury.
You do a great job of coming up with fresh and challenging routines. The fact that you can still make me sore after a year of working out is impressive– it shows you’re always pushing the limits and that is something that I need. 
Billy kept me motivated to stay committed to looking after myself and his work with me also helped me feel fit and confident. He demonstrated not only professionalism in his training abilities but also care, encouragement and always a friendly smile.
Billy is a trainer extraordinaire! His sessions are motivating with very fun and very intense exercises. Billy is incredibly knowledgeable about the how, why and where of every exercise you perform with him. He's also very creative with his workout routines, inventing new and challenging exercises to make our sessions always different.
When I need tough, he is tough. Billy's creativity and ability to constantly change things up, keeps my body and mind challenged and prevents me from mentally fatigued. 
You have helped me get back to a dedicated gym schedule and lose 12 pounds! I feel you train with an intensity that absolutely leaves me exhausted and improved.
After my first 10 sessions with Billy, I am in the best shape I have ever been in. The implementation of his workouts into my exercise routine completely changed my body. Random strangers comment on my ripped arms and I have abs I thought I were unattainable!
Working out with Billy has made me more conscious of my body and how I treat it. I have vastly improved my diet to help my progression. Putting on pants that were two sizes smaller never felt so good.
After every workout , I feel stronger and more energetic with a positive state of mind.
