I have Known Bill for several years, and he has helped me with my weightlifting routine in ways others can't. He listens to me and whenever i have pain he has reconfigured my workout routine in a safer and more effective manner.

Totally new to strength training. Bill and Alex have been incredible guides, and I'm seeing real improvements working with them. Love the folks I work out with, too. Strongly recommend.

Middle-aged female, new to barbell training, with home gym. I was looking for a Starting Strength coach within a reasonable drive from home for an in-person form check. Hit the jackpot with Bill. Got so much out of our two hour session. Exceeded expectations. Thank you!

I'm relatively new to barbell training, and worked with Bill to improve my lifts. He's a great teacher, and guided me through form changes that I'd never have thought to make. I'm much more confident in my lifts after training with him. The space itself is a great place for barbell training. It's very welcoming and the folks here are friendly. They also have an awesome gym dog named Yuri! If you're at all interested, don't hesitate to give them a call or drop by.

Had two awesome sessions with Bill. He really helped me with my technique and genuinely wanted me to lift better so that I could get stronger. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to lift stronger.

I had a great experience at Kratos. Bill was very knowledgeable and helped me with a form check. He took a lot of extra time to explain everything and discuss in detail which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the Chicago area looking for a Starting Strength coach.

The two hours I spent with Bill going through the 5 core lifts were invaluable. Within minutes we were able to make corrections to my technique that would have taken me many hours of you-tubing and reading to figure out(if at all).

When I started lifting with Bill I had a preexisting knee injury from high school basketball which kept me from even squatting my body weight. Now, after a couple years training, I am squatting upwards of 200 lbs for multiple reps. Bill genuinely wants to help you get stronger and improve your quality of life. Do yourself a favor and reach out to him.

I stopped in to get some form coaching from Bill on the squat, press, and deadlift. I was very impressed by his ability to quickly cue the changes that were needed to iron out a few issues. I'm excited to continue training after his help! Bill is highly talented at coaching, extremely personable, and you can tell that he loves coaching. Every time that I am in the area I will stop by Kratos for a workout and to get an outside eye on my technique. Anyone that is interested in beginning strength training, coming back after a layoff, or just looking to refine their technique can't go wrong with this gym.
