Help Build a Healthier Community
Tony Williams, a dedicated and passionate personal trainer, has spent over two decades bringing health and wellness to the people of Fresno, CA. His journey began by offering personal training sessions in clients’ homes, local parks, and schools. He worked as a personal trainer at various gyms and took on coaching roles in Track and Field, mentoring athletes to national recognition, state championships, Junior Olympics, and record-breaking achievements.

A year ago, Tony embarked on a new venture by offering online exercise classes for those working from home, stay-at-home parents, or anyone hesitant to return to a gym. Additionally, he conducted health and wellness seminars at churches and community centers. Now, an exciting opportunity has come his way – the chance to own a small gym equipped to serve the community better.

Why Your Support Matters
1. Bridging the Gap for West Fresno
Fresno’s west side, especially the 93706 zip code, is underserved when it comes to fitness facilities. CrossFit Iron Buffalo and Xpress Fitness are great options, but they might not be accessible to everyone due to cost and distance. Tony’s gym aims to provide an affordable and convenient fitness solution for the residents of this area.
2. Local Support for All
Tony’s vision extends beyond just a gym. He wants to assist local pastors, congregations, city and county employees, and the general public in the downtown area. With a gym close by, there’s no need for anyone to travel far, making fitness and wellness accessible to everyone in the community.
3. Tackling Health Challenges Together
The 93706 zip code faces significant health challenges, with a high percentage of adults dealing with obesity, children being overweight for their age, and a large portion of overweight or obese teens. Tony’s mission is to change these statistics by providing a welcoming and supportive fitness environment that promotes well-being.
