William Yates Testimonials

Oh, my goodness, Mr. William. Thank you so very, very much. I don't remember when I started the program, but I've been using the same weights since I started. When it got "easier," I just started working out every day except for Sundays. I hardly ever look in the mirror but I did recently and it was like someone had given me new arms. I'd had no idea that they'd changed that much!

Hi William. I enjoyed the exercise class today! I feel every muscles in my body throbbing! BTW: Since COVID-19, I have been working from home. I did not exercise and loss the use of my muscles. Sometimes my body does not follow directions. I noticed, you would like for the camera to be on. Can I get a pass? Sometimes I feel like I am not keeping up.
