Bill's books "Body for Life" and "Eating for Life" are two of the most successful fitness books ever. Soon he'll release another book, "Transformation: A Guide to Physical and Spiritual Fitness". Bill's work is so well received that he was asked to join the American relay in 2002 to carry the Olympic Torch.

Bill has helped train celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld, Sylvester Stallone, Demi Moore, and John Elway, but that's not where his heart lies. He's happiest when helping ordinary people reach their goals for physical and spiritual fitness. He began at only age 10 helping others reach their calisthenics goals on his little league football team.

Bill Phillips isn't all about fitness. He's also a very charitable person. In fact, he's won several awards for his charitable contributions. He's on the top 10 list of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce's Outstanding Young Americans, and he won the highest award for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Make-A-Wish grants wishes to terminally ill children.

Bill's fitness passion was a calling that chose him. He didn't choose it. He's known since childhood that fitness was important to him. It's just a coincidence that his passion and America's passion collided. America was into body building and fitness in the 1980's. Bill thought he could study medicine to further help people with his passion, but it didn't take him long to realize he was wrong.

While in pre-med school, Bill noticed that he wasn't learning anything about preventative medicine. The types of patients he would see as a doctor would be those who already had life threatening conditions like cancer and high blood pressure. Those conditions can often be prevented months or years before they happen. Bill was more interested in preventing than treating, so to help pay for school, he became a personal trainer, and he began writing a newsletter.

To Bill's surprise, his newsletter took off the first year. Soon he was making more money writing than he would have been making as a physician, and he was helping people at the same time to prevent lifelong illnesses. Every two weeks, at the cost of only $25 per year, Bill sent his subscribers a newsletter filled with pictures, instructions, and general information.

Bill Phillips doesn't focus only on the physical fitness of his readers. He also focuses on the mental, spiritual, and emotional areas of their lives. He believes there is a formula for success between creating valuable services and delivering them in a meaningful, powerful way. It's what has led him to the life he enjoys today.
