Hi, I’m Will

I’m the Nerd Personal Trainer, based in Bristol, UK.

My Mission with The Strength Guild is to help You reduce intimidation of the gym, gamify your fitness, and provide a fun, approachable way towards working out. I struggled a lot with weight in my teens, and know personally that Nerdy hobbies often don’t provide much in the way of fitness. As such, my goal is to help You ‘find your fun’ with training, create sustainable lifestyle changes, and level up your stats whilst doing so!

So if you’re intimidated by Sporty PT’s who’ve never even heard of Warhammer, have never toiled over a character sheet for DnD, or have never spent 8 hours straight playing video games:

Do you have to be a Nerd to train with me? Not at all:

I’ve extensive experience with science backed training, and confidently coach both beginners AND intermediates looking to improve their training, physique and push through plateaus!I also have over 8 years of experience training people from a wide variety of ages, backgrounds and genders

Why Join The Guild?

  • Individually tailored programming to help you achieve your goal as swiftly as possible

  • A focus on effective training methodology, backed by recent scientific literature; so no B.S!

  • Personal relateable experience with significant weight loss and muscle gain

  • A safe training environment for introverted and neurdivergent folks

  • Friendly and encouraging training style, I will never shout or push a client to train, not my style

  • Support outside of sessions, Including your own plan, diet advice, accountability and training tips

  • Ultimately, someone to geek out with whilst you train!

  • Will has helped me to get the best out of my health, both mentally and physically. I value how he took my insecurities into account and helped me to work through them in a safe space.

  • His enthusiasm and encouragement has really helped me in the gym, both mentally and physically. The gym environment and the hard work was what put me off initially, however Will was great at making the work out fun and enjoyable, the hour seems to fly by!
