- Will Arias

Sara Kirby

  • “I couldn’t ask for a better coach than Will! He is passionate, so knowledgeable and takes the time to ensure every client is getting exactly what they want and need.

    He educates you about how to adjust your exercise to not only get the body you want but also to avoid any injuries. I’ve been training with Will since 2014 and it’s not only resulted in a body I’m happy with and proud of but also increased my confidence (I’m not nervous to step into a male-dominated gym anymore!) and strength.

    Will is passionate about what he does and really thrives off seeing his clients succeed and reach their goals. Training with him has been so beneficial to my fitness, strength, and enthusiasm towards working out. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a personal trainer!”

Matthew Munro

  • “Building core strength, lower back stability and joint mobility which after each session sets me up for the busy day ahead!
    Technical knowledge of Will's seems endless!”

Helen Lewis

  • “After I underwent lower back surgery for a previous injury, Will has carefully focused on building my core strength and stability while mproving my flexibility and mobility.

    He keeps a very watchful eye on each exercise to ensure I am performing it correctly and always clearly explains the reason for any particular movement and I am certainly reaping the benefits of his expertise.

    He is very creative with his routines, which makes for an enjoyable session.

    I have been training with Will for 21 years and find him to be extremely knowledgeable, very professional and dedicated and with a warm, delightful personality that gently persuades and urges me on.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Will. He is the best!”

Andy Myer

  • “I have been a loyal client of Will Arias at WIARFIT since 2006! That makes me old but I’m as fit and strong now as I was 18 years ago.

    From month one I noticed improvements in my core and glute strength. My balance and agility have improved and Wil has tailored exercises to improve all the sports I have done in this time: tennis, bike riding and now distance ocean swimming. The program I have followed and has been tailored for me is truly sustainable and allowed me to maintain strength and vitality.

    He is passionate about the craft of keeping fit, great company and has a terrific private studio.

Aviva Sloane

Occupational Therapist

  • “Training with Will is more than just exercise, it’s an education in well-being, human movement & not to mention, it’s fun!

    I’ve had an extended break from exercise since the birth of my boys and I lacked the confidence to get started again.

    Will’s coaching has reminded me why I love exercise, he’s helping me regain strength & fitness!

    His knowledge & passion are second to none - he’s a technician who helps you move with precision and achieve sustainable results.

    I highly recommend Will for anyone who’s looking for more than just a trainer!”

  • “Training with Will has been one of the best decisions of my life! He has helped and encouraged me so much I honestly think it's been life changing.

    Will has supported and guided me in reaching my goals, helping me to reach potential and levels I actually didn’t know I had before. Through his training I have reshaped my body, become so much stronger and mentally tougher and found a new belief in my abilities.

    He continually encourages me to strive to be better and his belief in what I can achieve and his desire to see me succeed has been such a motivating factor for me! Will’s passion for what he does and his genuine care has enabled me to play football at a level I previously would never have considered possible.

    Since training with Will, I’ve noticed positives changes in both my physical fitness and mindset. I understand that a genuine personal program requires purpose. Will keeps thriving towards new fitness standards.”

David Payes

  • “Staying fit and strong is crucial for me. I realised traditional bodybuilding by itself wasn't addressing my aesthetic goals and mobility needs, especially after four spinal surgeries.

    Will's tailored approach has substantially improved my hip mobility, strengthened my lumbar area and prioritised glutes into my workouts.

    Will is an excellent strength & conditioning coach and has made a noticeable difference to my mobility, flexibility, fitness and strength—I highly recommend @wiarfit “

Catalina Macedo

  • I had a herniate disc surgery 2 years ago, and Will helped me to gain strength in my core and avoid more future lesions.

    I feel more confident about a lot of exercises that before I wouldn't even think about . Really grateful for his patience and commitment 😁

Lilly Myer

  • I have been training with Will for nearly 15 years and he is the BEST personal trainer out there!

    He will customise a program based on your individual needs and work with you to get the results you are looking for. 10/10 recommend booking a session with Will in his private PT studio.

Miguel-Rufino

  • “We had our first session in 2015, and I never looked back since! I learned how to train properly, my core conditioning and glute strength apart from learning how to periodise my program through the year to avoid injuries and burnouts.

    I look forward to keep improving my fitness mindset, strength and aesthetics while being coached by Will at the wiarfit personal training studio, where I find all why I need for my tailored sessions. It is a great location. It’s worth every minute of commuting to Armadale.”

Andrew Cheung

  • Will has a deep understanding about human body performance and is incredibly experienced in his work, all of which allows him to have the resource of designing various workouts to help me achieve my personal goal. After only 2 months training together with Will, I'm already making significant progress. I'm so happy with the results and ready for more.

    Since I have been training with the top personal trainers in the country for many years, I am very picky about the level of personal trainers. Will is definitely a very high level of good personal trainer that I have rarely encountered in Melbourne. Pick one in a hundred, so I want to recommend Will's studio to those who are very hardcore and take training seriously.

Kirk Mitchell

Former competitive Triathlete

  • “As an elite endurance athlete looking to optimise strength and mobility, Will has provided me with over 15 years of exceptional guidance and care on my never-ending quest to stay strong and healthy through workouts that are always challenging and fresh.

    His passion for bringing the best out of his clients is evident in every session he takes. There is no one better to turn to for strength and conditioning."

Tony Lewis

  • "Will has been 'maintaining' my body for 19 years!

    I first came to him with severe lower back trauma. He took a very focused approach, strengthening my core, eliminating the pain and enabling flexibility.

    In the last 4 years, arthritic pain in my thoracic area was impacting my lifestyle and, again, with his skills and knowledge of the body, Will designed a very specific tailored programme for me.

    Thanks to his dedication and attention to detail, he has me back in good shape. On top of his personal training skills, Will has a delightful personality, making training with him an activity that I look forward to twice a week."

Sharona Finch

Physiotherapist

  • Will is incredibly knowledgeable and innovative. He has such a warm and motivating personality and I feel so safe and supported training with him.

  • “During my professional sporting career I’ve trained with a lot of trainers. Since I started with Will I have seen a massive improvement in my on court performance and overall fitness. His knowledge and dedication to helping others is first class and genuinely wants you to succeed.”

Uzma Mir

  • “I really appreciate the way Will tailored my program and the breakdown he provide for every single exercise.

    For me that explanation helps me understand what I’m doing and why. And in the end I’m satisfied with my effort and progress.”

Amanda Smith

Registered Personal Trainer

  • “My training with Will has now become a non negotiable from ‘Let’s see how this goes’ to ‘what are we doing this week’. Each session is different, lots of fun and varied.

    I’ve trained with lots of trainers over the years and Will is hands down the best and most knowledgeable trainer I’ve ever trained with.

    If you take your health and fitness seriously and want to see results you cannot afford not to train with Will. He gives you what you need not what you want and that is the difference!

    Where there’s a Will there’s a way!!”

Jeff Balchin

  • "Hi Will, Hello from Florence. Just letting you know that I got through the Tour Transalp without any knee injuries.

    The ride included ascents of the Stelvio and Mortiloro (famous Giro de Italia passes), with almost 4.000m of climbing on the day...

    Thanks for the help fixing my knee problem & strength building, in general."

Johnny D

Valued client from 2018 to 2022

  • "After 18 months, Will kept asking how we could improve my training experience. He never takes me for granted. My least favourite thing (and this one is probably one of my personal demons) is that I don't like trying new things. However, from day one, Will saw potential.

    For instance, I remember squats being one of my weakest points. I didn't like to train legs, and I wanted to skip leg day all the time. But now, the squat has become my strongest move. I know firsthand that Will knows how to turn weaknesses into strengths.

    I keep coming for more at the WIARFIT studio because I'm still learning. I'm coming to the point where, even if I could train solo, I choose not to. I feel confident training by myself whenever i need to fly away, and that's a great outcome, but again, I still need to learn more from Will.

    Sometimes, we focus on mechanics; sometimes, we do volume or heavy weights; and sometimes, we work on mobility and flexibility or concentrate on core work.

    I can now manage big weights, but doing it right and minimising injury risk (given that I'm now 38 as well) definitely requires structure, methodology, and safety. So, I'm glad Will delivers all of that. He looks after me by giving sensible advice and guiding me through the whole process of making my gains sustainable, which explains my patience with his poor dad jokes :)"

Jason Wall

  • "Training with Will Arias certainly is an eye opener to fitness. He constantly looks outside the square and makes each session enjoyable, challenging and rewarding.

    Will endorses great core strength, posture, athleticism and general wellbeing. Plenty of belly laughs in between the vigorous work. Sign up with Will. You won't regret it!"

Nigela Sebastian

  • I was introduced to Will through a terrific physio recommendation years ago. His approach goes beyond the typical gym routine. Will is all about optimising motion patterns rather than just pumping iron, constantly emphasizing the importance of quality over quantity; he's transformed my perspective on fitness.

    Will has swiftly rehabilitated my wrist fracture and has turbocharged building my glute strength. Will tailors my training program to sync seamlessly with my active lifestyle. Thanks to his expertise, my squat game is now defying past medical advice.

    What sets Will apart is his keen ability to "listen" to my body, making constant adjustments to my program as needed; It's like having a personalizsed fitness concierge!

    If you're serious about taking your fitness to the next level @wiarfit is the go-to for top-notch personal training.

Catherine LeHunt

  • “After undergoing major surgery back in 2019, Will differentiated my fitness sessions so that I was able to make a smooth transition between my rehabilitation and conditioning plan. I gradually have been recovering my confidence and functional strength.

    Will's approach to fitness makes him a unique coach. The first quality that comes to mind is his capacity to differentiate and unleash individual potential. I've learned physical skills that I never thought I could achieve for years.

    Also my fitness mindset has reached new standards. Now, whenever I'm travelling or having a solo session, I am confident enough to follow my program rather than feeling intimidated by gym environments. By the way, I love Will's fitness studio :)

  • Glad to be back and focused after 2 total knee replacements. Love the fine technical tuning and dedication to individual excellence. Thank you so much Will.

Joanne Henry

Emergency Medicine Physician

  • "It's one thing to have muscle, and another to be able to use them in a functional way. Training with Will has given me the ability to do both. Because of the work he's done with me, I feel both strong and agile. Thanks for the past 10+ years, Will"

Deb Kwasnicki, 65

  • "Will creates a safe, fun environment to train in, and I know I can push myself under his guidance without any fear of damage. I can't recommend him highly enough!

    After 20 years under Will’s instruction and guidance, I think I can honestly say I have found the right PT for me.

    What blew me away was when Will started training Bill (my husband), who was at a whole different level than me, and somehow Will personalised our sessions perfectly.

    What's more, for a man who had never been in a gym in his life, he LOVED his training sessions!"

Tonina Morgan, 40

  • “Will was able to combine a rehabilitation program whilst still enabling continued fitness growth. Evidence based in every exercise he prescribes, Will provides long-term results.

    Whether your ambition is weight loss, strength or sports conditioning, he has the expertise and knowledge to deliver success."

Amanda Graham

  • “Will keeps me focused and entertained!

    The highlights of my week is training with Will Arias.

    He continues to take me from strength to strength using his amazing knowledge of functional training techniques and excellent coaching skills.”

Layla Zheng, 38

Valued Client from 2021 to 2022

  • “Apart from losing more than 3 kilograms, my body composition has improved even without a strict diet. Now I feel more toned and athletic. I am looking forward to achieving more results and further increasing my body confidence. WILL is an outstanding coach, and he is very professional, humorous and easygoing. Oh, by the way, I used to have a problem with lower back pain, and Will have formulated a specialised plan to deal with that issue. I feel much better, and I am very happy!"
