Will Paton
Personal Fitness Trainer
Will’s Philosophy: "Physical fitness is a way of life. It is not a start and end goal but rather a mindset and commitment to a lifestyle change. Many people are searching for ways to add balance to their lifestyle, but how do you do that? Most of you do not get into a car to begin a long trip without a destination in mind and a plan to get there. You pick a specific place, time, and route. This approach applies to any goal no matter how long or short term it may be. If you are tired of coming in day after day doing the same boring routine and not seeing results, then perhaps you are on the wrong path. My job is to draw the map and provide you with the most efficient and fun way to achieve your goals."
Will holds the following credentials: Graduate from Pinnacle Career Institute, Certified Personal Trainer NCSA Certified (National Strength and Conditioning Association).
