"Functional Training and Sport Specificity Training are well known, prevailing concepts within the fitness universe. Well, William Smith takes the concept of specificity and moves it to an entirely expanded level in the training regimen which he offers to clients. That is, rather than “training a client for movement “ relative to the commonly accepted demands of a respective sport, Will comprehensively assesses both the attributes as well as the limitations of an individual client, and prescribes a program to enhance the former and improve the latter. This protocol is conducted in a step-by-step, building block manner, and Will encourages continued dialogue in order to form a mutual assessment between the client and him of progress, continued challenges, etc.

As an individual recovering from hip replacement surgery who wanted to address flexibility and balance relative to Golf performance, Will's approach and tailored program has proved invaluable to me not only for Golf but for overall fitness and physical well being.

This is not personal training. Rather, it is training the person."

"I was recommended to Will Power & Fitness Assoc. by a pain management physician, who suggested I give Will Smith's program a try…that recommendation “CHANGED MY LIFE”.

My entire life had been spent with little to no activity, which caused my body to react negatively. It led to chronic lower back pain which was sending me into a vicious circle. I needed to move so that I could strengthen my back muscles, and I couldn't because of the pain.

Will understood the problem and my limitations; he made sure not to overwhelm me at the beginning, so that I would be discouraged and quit. He developed a program that was the right pace and established successes along the way.

Now, a year after beginning the program, I am active and enjoying every day. I believe that Will's program has made a tremendous change in my life. It started out being work, to now, being a lot of fun!!! I went from believing that I was going to spend the rest of my life in pain and not knowing how I would cope, to now having the program that Will developed to have a healthier life. I look forward to each training session, to getting stronger and better."

My husband and I are active, fit seniors, and we have been working out with Will Smith for over a year. In our individual one-hour sessions twice a week, Will makes sure that we include not only strength development and cardiovascular fitness, but also the balance and flexibility that are so important to maintain in our 70's. We report any aches and pains to Will so that he can monitor the appropriateness and level of exercise for each session. He also helps us to analyze our daily activities that have a direct affect on our well-being. Will is an exemplary professional with impressive expertise, and our workouts with him make a significant contribution to our well-being.

"As a DIII basketball player with a history of back problems, I was constantly struggling with the wear and tear of the long season. An intense summer of rehabilitation and training with Will Smith changed that. Not only was by back stronger than ever, but my flexibility, conditioning, strength, lateral and first step quickness, as well as vertical leap were all dramatically improved. Will's extensive knowledge of the body as well as sport-specific training and rehab allows him to design a unique training program that caters to each individual client's needs. The results are simply undeniable."

"Thank you all so much for helping us in our training over the past couple of months and for your continual encouragement. It was a great way to get started on getting back in shape - a long way still to go - but I now have the determination to keep going and look forward to more swims and triathlons (maybe) in the future!

Enjoy the rest of the summer and thanks again."
