| The fitness bug In high school, my world changed. During PE class, we had a choice: team sports or the weight room. I was 5’7” and weighed 120 pounds, so I started lifting. I focused on getting as big and as strong as I possibly could. Yes, I succeeded. I continued training through college, focusing more on holistic fitness and wellness. I studied biochemistry and nutrition and created what would ultimately become the Fuel Right Diet. The summer after graduate school, I worked at a local gym where I continued to expand my knowledge of fitness. I began studying yoga and experimenting with different martial arts |
| martial arts disciplines, I talked to trainers and watched people exercise, learning as much as I could on how to train more effectively. Before long, people were asking me to help them work out correctly. I love fitness and helping others lead stronger, healthier lives. I feel like I've always been a trainer and coach. I've been living and breathing fitness and wellness for years. I worked in corporate America for several years doing internal audits. Though I enjoyed the work, audit is not my passion. Even when I was working full-time as an auditor, I was helping people get healthy and be more fit whenever I wasn’t working my audit job. Last year I was finally able to turn my passion into my full-time career. Today, I have a full roster of private clients and lead weekly fitness classes. It's the best thing I have ever decided to do for myself! Personal info I love all kinds of music. My favorite artists include Elvis, the Ramones, and Chet Baker. I'm a huge Boston Red Sox fan. I enjoy cooking and making recipes healthy. My biggest vice is sugar! I love sweets … especially brownies. My favorite foods are sushi, enchiladas, and a really good cheeseburger. I’m a voracious reader and love learning new things about all sorts of topics. I’m currently studying Spanish and learning how to play the guitar. My biggest luxury is coffee. My idea of a perfect day is one that includes books, music and coffee. I am fortunate to share my life with an amazing woman, my wife Corrie – who drives me to better every day – and our three “children,” our pets, Baby, Allie, and Rose. Hear what my clients have to say. |
| About me (Will!) Hi, my name is William Shoucair, “Will” to my friends. I’m an ACE-certified personal trainer in Austin, Texas. My love affair with fitness began years ago ... and I haven’t always been fit. I've been living in Austin since 2005, but I grew up in New Orleans. My introduction to fitness took place when I was nine and my mother dragged me (yes, dragged me) to my first martial arts class. I lasted 20 minutes. I wouldn’t touch fitness again for five years. |
