It is easy to join a gym and even easier to not go, to make excuses about not having time. I choose to make a change in my exercise and nutrition; and found Will Nelson Fitness. I have had trainers in the past but quickly found Will Nelson was different in several positive ways. Will helps break down your goals and works with you not just on the physical training but helping to keep you true to your nutrition as well. Will's nutritional guidance helped me understand a lot about what I eat (or more importantly how much of it) and how I didn't have to be miserable eating only cardboard tasting things. With Will's training and guidance, my body fat % is down and my weight is down, measurably around that middle part too. I have gained muscle strength and mass which is weight so to still be down in total weight is a success. My energy level is so much better and as an avid sea kayaker who recently found the rush of white water kayaking, my improved flexibility and strength has been a key factor to my enjoyment of my new found sport. Absolutely a lot of the success is the work that I have put in; but Will's training and guidance has channeled my efforts to that success. Five strong Yelp stars for Will Nelson Fitness. (This review was written with my arms and core resting after a great training session with Will just a short hour ago.) read more

I have been looking for someone or something to get me motivated. I found Will though some mutual friends and set up a meeting. I was instantly taken by his attitude and personality! I decided to take his 6 week challenge and really focus on changing my body. I have always been active but needed a person to really help me get kickstarted and on the right path nutritionally. The start of my 6 week journey was not easy, but Will really kept my head in the game when it came to the workouts. He really pushes you but he also takes time to make sure you feel okay. He does a great job of explaining and demonstrating the correct way to do all of the exercises and workouts. He makes it a super friendly environment that truthfully made me look forward to getting up at the butt crack of dawn! I am now finishing my last week and with Will's knowledge and guidance I was able drop from 15.8 percent body fat to 10.5 and I lost about 10LBS. I really feel that I am on the right path to reach my fitness goals and I couldn't have done it without Will! read more

I took Will's 6-week challenge, and woke up at 5:30AM for four days each week to go out and get my butt kicked by WIll in the gym before the sun came up. I started (and still am) using an app to record what I'm eating every day, and I feel comfortable knowing how to eat, both at home and in restaurants. One of the best things that was helpful for me was being able to say "Hey, Will, I'm doing this exercise, but I'm not feeling anything significant, what should I be doing differently?" Then I'd have an expert go through every inch of my form, help me adjust and do it so that I was really hitting exactly the muscles that I wanted to! I lost 23 pounds in 6 weeks and just over 5% body fat - which is remarkable because I didn't stop eating things that I liked and I didn't eat a bunch of weird packets and bars. Instead, I had a trainer who helped me cut through the BS that is sold out there for weight loss and supplements and foods and now I feel better, and I'm not going to stop going to the gym any time soon. Thanks Will! read more

I took Will Nelson's 6 Week Challenge and it was nothing short of life-changing. In 6 weeks, I lost 19 pounds and 6% body fat just by following his workout regime and eating philosophies. I was amazed how fast the results came. I ended up working out with Will for 6 more weeks and for the first time since college, I have a 6 pack. In addition, I lost 3 more pounds for a total of 22 pounds and 5% more in body fat for a total of 11%. I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to Will and his program. If you are looking to make real changes in your life, increase your energy, get stronger, more conditioned, and prime yourself for success, I would suggest no one else besides Will. The photos and production speak for themselves. Will is a true professional who will motivate you and be candid. He takes it seriously and genuinely cares about his clients. Thank you to Will and his program! There are countless of other success stories both before and after me, and I can't wait to read more about them!! read more

I have worked with him from Jan-2018 on 6 week program. I am a regular gym goes and wanted to see my abs definition. I have tried some online programs and wanted to try with him. He shared the workout plan and introduced me to the flexible diet/calorie counting. He promised more of online video coaching but somehow during the initial days it was not happened more frequently. However, he stated engaging more on online coaching. End the end of 6 weeks I started seeing my results. However, I know, 6 weeks is short period to judge any routine and/or approach. I am still continuing his routine and now I have slightly visible abs. I felt like I have achieved what I was waiting for long. If I have been in Santa Barbara, CA , I should have continued for making greater results. Lastly, if you ask me should I recommend him to others, OBSOLUTELY YES. No doubt in it. Only thing required is, we need bring our commitment which is no dearth of it in me. read more

Will is the first personal trainer I've ever used, and it was worth the investment of time and money. I just finished a 12-week program and easily see results! Though a regular runner with solid cardio endurance, I've never been able to get the fitness level I want (strength, core, definition) and have often been intimidated by gym equipment or simply the lack of knowledge of what to do and how to do it correctly. Will helped me learn a multitude of weight training exercises that I can do in the gym or in my garage. He explains proper holds, lifting, and form and what helps/hurts when doing them right/wrong. Will has flexible programs for groups or individuals, and will work with you on a personalized plan, which also includes diet and accountability. He's a good motivator, trainer, and all-around nice guy. If you're serious about making a change, I'd highly recommend him! read more

I decided to take on the 6 Week challenge and in 6 weeks I lost 16 lbs I could not have done it without the help of Will and Mickey, they are an excellent team and really motivated me to push myself to limits I never knew I could reach.

This program genuinely cares about you personal health and goals and they will do all that they can to make sure reach those goals and continue to set new ones for yourself. If you are ready to make a change for a better lifestyle it is important to find that support group that is willing to stick with you throughout your entire journey, and this program is definitely one to look into if you are motivated, driven and ready to make the change you want to see. read more

I had been training off an on by myself or with friends for the past few years, with mediocre results at best. My progress was slowing and my overall motivation was lacking. I finally got to a point where I decided to step it up and set goals and push myself. I came across Will Nelson and decided to try out a few sessions and see how I liked it. Needless to say, over a year later, I am still training with Will. My strength has consistently improved while lowering overall body fat. Will is someone who is extremely knowledgeable and really works together with you in achieving your goal. He constantly motivates me while holding me accountable. He is readily available and always willing to answer questions regarding nutrition and fitness. If you want to make a positive change in your life and want to achieve your fitness goals, Will is your man! read more

Will was a great coach. I have completed the 6 week challenge (which was actually an 8 week program) and I feel good. Going into the program, I wanted to be more confident being in the gym and with my body. I wasn't overweight by any means but I wanted to gain muscle and size. Will was great as an online coach. He showed me how to correctly track my macros and to be flexible with my diet. I highly recommend Will Nelson for ANY goals that you may have. In my case, like I mentioned, I wanted to gain size and muscle. To get there, however, I needed to fulfill x, y, and z. Will showed me how to achieve my goals correctly and on the right path. Again, highly recommend Will. You can't go wrong with his experience and knowledge. Also, good luck with that 6 week challenge. It kicked me pretty hard. read more

I connected with Will back in early 2017. At that time I was out of shape and working on a serious "Dad Bod". Through Will's nutrition training and workout plans I was able to drop significant weight and begin gaining strength and flexibility. His approach to flexible eating made dieting simple and straightforward. Unfortunately, I had to stop near the end of 2017 and I immediately noticed a drop in motivation for working out and diet habits. Will and I have reconnected and I am feeling an immediate change in my motivation and mood. If you are on the fence about joining a workout program or personal training I HIGHLY recommend Will Nelson Fitness, at minimum get a consultation and when you meet him his approach will speak for itself. read more

I never thought I would be able to get myself to the gym before 7am, but with Will I have found that motivation. He is very supportive, whatever your ability, and encourages you to meet your goals without being pushy. The group is small and non-judgmental, exactly what I love about it, everyone is there to workout and get fit. I have been working out with Will now for six weeks and am so happy with the progress I am making. Not only is my pre-baby body coming back, but I feel stronger and more in shape than ever before and I owe that all to Will. I highly recommend anyone wanting to get in shape, to lose weight or to build up their strength to give Will a try, you will not regret it. It is the best investment you can make. read more

OK guys...I'm 48 and have been in good shape most of my life. In the last few years life (kid, work, etc) but mostly complacency had gotten in the way of exercise. I finally reached that point where I wasn't happy with what I was seeing in the mirror and tired of the excuses I was making up in my head. Along came Will and an opportunity to bet on myself and take the first step of getting back into a healthy lifestyle. Will is an awesome trainer, motivator, wealth of knowledge and all around good guy. Within 6 weeks I saw remarkable results, I dropped lots of belly fat, lost 15 lbs and gained muscle back that I was missing! Do something great for yourself and train with Will! read more

I signed up not sure how it was going to go. But starting from the interview Will proved that he was motivated to see you reach your target. The program is well structured the early morning workout allows you to finish in time to be ready for work, Wills follows you to make sure you are motivated and that the exercises are carried out correctly and well. What I think sets apart Will's 6 week program is the notions that he gives you on dieting and how to manage you calorie intake and deficit. In the 6 weeks with Will I lost 21 pounds and 6% body fat. I would recommend the program who would like to make a change in their life style. read more

Been training with Will for a few weeks now. Signed up due to a friends personal recommendation and a serious need to change my excercise and diet habits. Dropped 11 lbs. in the first week, which I know is a lot of water weight but it's more of a mind set I have now. I know I can lose the 20 lbs. + that need to go and Will is totally instrumental to achieving that goal. He provides not only great insight into the dietary challenges men face but keeps us motivated with some kick butt workouts and motivation to boot. Highly recommend Will to anyone serious about a real life change for the better. read more

Will Nelson is a truly excellent trainer. I have only worked with him for 3 weeks and because of his efforts, I am already stronger, I have better balance and most importantly, working out has become fun. He is skilled, thoughtful, sensible, and a pleasure to work with and talk to. He knows just how and when to encourage and when to push, though never too much. His professionalism, extensive knowledge and enthusiastic commitment to his work and ultimately his clients, provides the perfect scenario for success and sets foundations for a new healthier lifestyle. I would definitely recommend him! read more

In order to achieve your goals and be properly motivated and encouraged you can always do better, I highly recommend Will Nelson. A excellent trainer, gym coach and nutrition expert the guy knows his stuff when it comes to putting on size or dropping body fat for his clients, regardless of age and physical condition. I had the privilege of working with Will a few years back when I trained for my first bodybuilding contest and managed to place among the top 5 for my physique category! I highly recommend this young man to anyone looking to make a difference in their life for the better. read more

I had put on 30 pounds, and was feeling really unmotivated. I work six days a week, and I felt like I just didn't have the time to get to the gym. I also never really thought I needed a trainer, but then I met Will & just after briefly talking to him I could tell he knew what he was talking about. Right off the bat Will was able to motive me & I felt confident in the plan he set up for me. Then when the training actually started I could physically see and feel the difference that training with Will was making. I've already lost 20 lbs & thanks to Will I plan to lose even more. read more
