I met Wendall back in 2001, when I was only 16 years old. At the time, I was a competitive dancer, who trained 6 days a week. However, I knew nothing about weight training, nutrition, or how important drinking water was. Wendall would come to my house at 6:00 in the morning, before school, and whip me into shape; always with a cheerful and motivating attitude! That is what I most like about Wendall; no matter how early it is, or how tired I am, he always manages to motivate me, and challenge me to work harder. As I got older, graduating from high school and retiring from competitive dance, I entered University, and Wendall’s training stuck with me. I became a fitness instructor while in University, and after graduating, received my personal training certification. I now instruct a “Summer Boot Camp” class, where I work, and am captain of our firm’s dragon boat team. Since 2001, I have continued to see Wendall from time to time, making sure I never lose touch with him. He is a huge source of motivation for me, and I believe, he's the reason that I continue to pursue all of these fitness achievements. This year, I have decided to run my first official 5K, and plan on doing a 10K by the end of the summer. I will make sure that I have Wendall on speed dial, in case I need some last minute inspiration!

As I stand on the threshold of official Old Age, I feel no apprehension whatsoever. I have been involved with exercise for 35 years, from being a basic instructor to a committed participant. I have known a variety of instructors and/or trainers, over the years, and have done cycling tours, horseback riding, kayaking, swimming, spinning, yoga, weight training, and the NCC marathon (rollerblading), 10 km run (twice), half marathon (this spring). My life is full, and with Wendall's positive and gentle motivational style, I have achieved more successful results than I believed I ever could. Wendall lives by what he believes in.

We have been working with Wendall for about 1 and a 1/2 years, and it really has been fantastic. He understood our objectives from the beginning; he listened and developed a customized program for us. He has taught us how to eat better (without going on a diet), have a balanced lifestyle, and pushes us just enough not too get discouraged! We truly enjoy working with Wendall!

I hired Wendall as a trainer because I needed help to lose 20 pounds, that I had put on following an illness. I needed someone who was certified professionally and knew how to design a program that was both safe and effective.

Each morning session, we did a combination of weight training and cardio, and between workouts, he also helped me to manage my diet.

Training with Wendall was never boring - he kept me challenged and motivated, and the weight safely dropped off.

We trained together until I reached my goal, and then I stopped training with Wendall because I wanted to start sleeping in!

Years later, I am still on track with my weight, and still keep in touch with Wendall for tune ups.

He's the go-to guy to get results.

I will begin by saying "wow". This past year has been amazing, not only for my physical body, but also because of a fresh change in mentality. In February, I began my online fitness training with Wendall, and it was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I was immediately introduced to food management, (E.L.M.O.), and new exercise routines – I took these very seriously, and worked hard to merge them with my schedule. There were periods throughout the year when this was hard! I had some big school projects that I had to deal with, as well as summer job related obstacles. However, not once did I ever feel like I “jumped off the bandwagon”. This was huge for me, as I have tried many, many times in the past to lose weight, and the longest attempt was a month or two. However, I soon learned that it was not just about losing weight – but about feeling good about myself, as well as just being “fit”. Health and fitness, have not only helped me lose 22 pounds so far, but also have helped me gain the energy that I need to accomplish other things in my life. It has also helped me with time management skills. Wendall has supported me in every way. He's taught me so many important things that I normally would have overlooked – the importance of weight training being a huge example. He helps me maintain a healthy attitude towards fitness (and pretty much everything in existence), and has taught me the correct way to approach exercise. Motivation has always been my worst obstacle – and there were quite a few times during the year that I remember not wanting to do anything – there were also quite a few times during the year that I was able to push myself to ignore those feelings (again, with Wendall supporting me the whole way). I feel so much better than I did at the start of the year – I can go longer distances at a faster pace, I am eating healthy foods, I drink more water, and I have built noticeable amounts of muscle. I have been smiling at the mirror more than ever.

It's funny too, about exercise now - it's somehow really motivating to think that exercising has literally become part of my work :)

As a man in my late fifties, Wendall’s program has helped me to lose weight, keep fit, and keep my blood pressure down. By changing my exercises on a regular basis, I don’t get bored.

Wendall has tailored my program to keep me fit for my passion for downhill skiing.
It's sensible and works for me. I would recommend Wendall’s program to anyone.

Thank you, for helping me on the road to better health and fitness. I couldn’t, and wouldn’t have done it without your help.

Dear Wendall,
My cholesterol levels are normal now. I want to thank you for your advice and support. It has been a challenging 3 years for me, and I think one of the reasons it was so difficult, was the seemingly lack of support; “Doug, just take a pill and shut up already”, seemed to be the response by a lot of people. I am really proud of what I have accomplished, with your help.
