BRET "HITMAN" HART Kailua Kona, HI

"When I was on the road as a pro wrestler, being slammed and kicked around for twenty three years, I always dreamed of living in Hawaii. I finally made that dream come true!

I'm a six-time WWE (WWF) World Champion, along with numerous other titles I'v held over my long career. Like so many pro athletes I paid a price with my body. My In-ring career came to an abrupt end in October, 2000 as the result of a horrific concussion I suffered when a fellow wrestler kicked me in the head. While I was still recovering from post concussion syndrome things only got tougher when I suffered a major stroke in June, 2002, that left the whole left side of my body paralyzed.

I put my life in God's hands and was blessed with a miraculous recovery that, over time brought back most of what I'd lost.

I'd spent years training, lifting weights, but nothing compared to the uphill struggle I faced trying to rebuild myself into the man I used to be.

I'd always trained hard and my philosophy was more along the lines of power lifting heavy weight, most of the time. Even though I'd always trained this way I began noticing, more and more, that severe pain in my joints and lower back was limiting me from reaching my full

potential.

One day, as I was loading up the weights. Bill Linaker noticed me lifting heavy. He came up to me and offered to train me and help me rebuild myself - but with a much different approach. I've known numerous personal trainers throughout my career and I could tell that Bill knew what he was talking about and I hired him. It's been two years now that I've had the good fortune of working with Bill and his new approach, which is to work out using machines that are easier on my joints, yet keep me getting stronger. Bill has been working with me to rebuild my weaker left side and it wasn't long before I noticed improvements in my weaker muscles, which he had carefully Isolated.

I've lifted weights for most of my life, and spent countless hours training with some of the most knowledgeable strongmen and body builders in the world, but I can say none of them compares to Bill when It comes to muscle building, strength and conditioning.

If you're looking for a trainer who knows his stuff, trust me when I tell you not to look too far because Pacific Island Fitness has the best personal trainer, Bill Linaker, on hand with his expertise in nutrition, the human body, and every conceivable type of machine.

Bill Linaker, without a doubt, is the best personal trainer I've ever worked with and I can confidently say he is the best there is, was, and ever will be!"

Suzanne Gustavson - Kailua Kona, HI

"Bill Linaker is my personal trainer and biggest cheerleader. I was in the hospital for almost two months and when I got out I had to learn to walk again and get back my strength and stamina. Bill came to my rescue with his positive encouragement and a lot of hard work! It wasn’t easy but I can say the mission was accomplished! I started working out with Bill in January 2014 and by August 2014I managed to do my first 5k. That didn’t stop me because I did a total of three 5k’s last year! I have never felt better and stronger in my life. Bill is the best trainer, motivator and teacher. I am forever indebted to him for teaching me good eating habits and the importance of exercising daily. Take it from this 62 year old woman: It is never to late to invest in your health and wellness! I am proud to call Bill my personal trainer and foremost my good friend! Mahalo nui loa."

Here it in Dee's own words:

Dee Wagner - Kailua Kona, HI

"I’m Dee Wagner, 86 years old. About a year ago, I realized that I was not getting any better, in fact, I was getting worse all the time. So I decided that I had to do something it and joined Bill’s class. The first few times I thought this is too hard; I can’t do it. But, a year later, I can do it. Not perfectly, but I now can walk without my walker or my cane and I recently went on a zip line with five suspension bridges and I went through it very well. I now have muscles."

Ron Hallett - Kailua Kona, HI

“The reason I chose to work with Bill (Linaker) is that, in my opinion, Bill is one of the most knowledgeable professional fitness trainers around. He has helped me become a fit 81-year-old. I am able to do more, lift more, have more stamina and look and feel like I’m 20 years younger; all due to the program of fitness that Bill has kept me on. He is truly a great trainer. Thanks Bill.”

Susan Page - Susan Page’s Modeling Agency and School, Honolulu, HI - August, 1988

“I went to Bill Linaker to develop a weight program for me and my models based on the specific look a model needs… not bulky, but well defined, toned muscles. After only 3 months, I’m amazed at the results I’ve gotten from his expertise in shaping the body to a desired look.”
