Bill McKnight Age: 54 Education: BS in Social Work from East Carolina University Certification: Certified Personal Trainer from American Fitness Professionals and Associates Experience: Five years

Bill's first career was as a Deputy Sheriff. In this capacity he always was interested in keeping himself strong, health, and fit.  During breaks, before, and after work, he could be found in the fitness center either working out, or helping others with their workouts. He ended up enjoying exercise and helping others so much, that he became interested in pursuing a second career in the fitness industry.

He succeeded in his goal to earn his certification and work as a personal trainer and manager in local health clubs. In this capacity he has personally trained individuals ranging from 14 years old to 82 years old. His goal has always been to help people be as healthy and fit as possible.

Bill believes that a healthy lifestyle includes a balance of proper nutritional practices, cardiovascular exercises, resistance/weight training, flexibility exercises, rest and relaxation. He coaches people to be consistent with a focus on healthy life style behaviors and to exclude unhealthy life style practices.
