My name is William Kyle, and I help my friends by supporting their health and fitness goals. I go to the gym with them, help keep them motivated, and share what I’ve learned about nutrition and proper exercise form. For friends who don’t have easy access to this kind of information or guidance, I try to be a reliable resource they can lean on.

Most of what I do is simply being present. I answer questions, walk friends through exercises so they can train safely, and help them build confidence in the gym. I’m not a personal trainer—this is just something I do because I care about the people around me and want them to feel capable and supported as they work toward healthier routines.

Over the past year, I’ve been focused on improving my own physical and mental health, and that experience has shaped how I show up for others. I’ve dealt with health challenges like AFib and obesity, so I understand how difficult it can be to make changes and stay consistent. Sharing what I’ve learned feels like a practical way to support my community using real, lived experience.

What reminds me why I do this are the small wins—seeing friends realize they’re getting stronger, noticing changes in how they feel, or feeling proud of their progress. Helping in this way has strengthened my relationships and allowed me to spend more meaningful time with the people I care about. To me, being American means having the freedom and responsibility to support one another, and this is how I try to live that out in my everyday life.
