Today we’d like to introduce you to Will Henry.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Will. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I started as a Level 1 Personal Trainer at Gold’s Gym in Garland. I played football in college and after I graduated I couldn’t find a job in my field. A former teammate who was the Fitness Director at the time asked me I would be interested in personal training. With my sports background, I thought it would be a piece of cake. I soon learned Training was more than just being a former collegiate athlete.
My communication skills weren’t sharp I wasn’t confident in the sales process, I possessed very little knowledge about nutrition and general fitness. I remember feeling invaluable and wanting to quit. However, I realized I wasn’t putting my all into the process.
Once I began to actually put effort into developing certain abilities and learning what I needed to know I slowly but surely became one of the best trainers and top producers in my location. All the while adding a plethora of transformation stories to my portfolio. I stayed at Gold’s Gym for five years and eventually realized my potential of becoming an Independent Trainer. I relocated ten mins down the street at the notorious Jerome’s Gym in Richardson, Texas. By this time I earned four personal training certifications and had competed in three bodybuilding competitions.
I continued to add to my resume there of success stories while also expanding my fitness brand God’s Will Fitness. Jerome’s Gym shut down after a year and half of me being there and I quickly had to find another place to further my business endeavors. Since December of 2018, I’ve found my home at Studio Fit Performance right off 635 and Preston where I’ve continued to add to my seven-year experience.
Has it been a smooth road?
Lack of Knowledge and Experience
Rules and stipulations
Unfair pay structures
Bumping heads with management and ownership.
Clients not being motivated or unwilling to commit.
We’d love to hear more about your work.
God’s Will Fitness
I offer personal training services to people looking to change their lifestyle. I also sell fitness apparel with a motivation theme in each design.
I’m known for being dependable, trustworthy, on time, professional and getting people results.
I’m mostly proud of being able to affect the lives of others while having freedom in my career and the fact that I never gave up.
The thing that sets me apart from others is the value I provide. I’m not the trainer that just trains an individual and that’s it. I have an actual program structure. I make motivational/educational videos (YouTube/Facebook Live). I write inspirational blogs. I email free workouts to others that aren’t current clients. Moreover, my messages gives me separation. I go above and beyond to help people realize the importance of a healthy lifestyle and I practice what I preach. I set the example for my clients and community to follow
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Dallas is a great place to start a fitness business there’s a gym on almost every corner in the north Dallas areas so there’s definitely a demand for my profession. This is where I started. Everyone won’t understand the value of personal training but there are people out there that know they need it and if you can stay consistent with your business you can create something special within the community and your career. The only thing we need is to create more awareness.
