Bill Bennett, CFT, IBNFC Nutrition Consultant
Branch Manager and Lead Fitness Coach
Bill’s interest in physical fitness came about after turning 40 when he realized that he needed to make significant lifestyle changes or face the same health issues like hypertension, heart disease and stroke that had plagued other members of his family.
Seeking the advice of a qualified trainer and nutritionist, Bill was able to transform his mind and body with a “can do” attitude. In the year that followed he lost 49lbs, lowered his body fat from 32% to 17% and reduced his waist size from 38 to 32 inches. His energy level skyrocketed and his body composition increased in lean muscle mass.
Having undergone such a positive transformation, Bill wanted to learn as much as possible about health and fitness in order to share his positive accomplishments and assist others in doing the same. He earned his A.C.E. Certification in 2004 and has been actively involved in fitness ever since. Bill specializes in coaching clients to reach their goals through weight training, proper nutrition and cardiovascular exercise. Having walked in many of his client’s shoes, Bill can relate to their wants and desires and offer the same “can do” attitude and approach to fitness that made it possible for him to reach his goals. Bill will push you beyond where you would go on you own, but he will also make you laugh and have fun on your way to better health!
