Tell us about yourself
My name is Will Bouziane, and I was born and raised in Bradenton, FL. My family used to own and operate the Bali Hai Beach Resort on Anna Maria Island, as well as Mister Roberts Men's & Women's Resort Wear. I graduated from St. Stephen's Episcopal School in 1997. Professionally, I am the owner of Bouziane Construction Company, LLC, a boutique custom home builder. In terms of athletics, I have been involved in sports throughout my life, with a particular focus on baseball. I also enjoy activities such as surfing, hiking, and saltwater fishing.
How did you get started at Fit Crew?
My introduction to Fit Crew happened by chance. I was working out with Dwight Andress at Redzone Fitness, but we were looking for a change in intensity and fitness routine. A couple of close friends, Gavin and Amy Lee, who are also patrons of Fit Crew, recommended that I try it out. Taking their advice, I attended a few classes and instantly became hooked. I have been a part of Fit Crew for the past three to four years now, and I particularly enjoy the 4pm class. The people there have become like a workout family to me.
What has been your proudest athletic moment?
My proudest athletic moment…. I haven’t reached this goal yet. I’ll let you know once I do…More to come!
What’s your favorite exercises? Least favorite?
Favorite: Sled pushes and Single DB Snatches.
Least Favorite: Thrusters. I know they are great for the full body workout, but good grief, I cringe every time I see them on the white board.
What do you think makes Fit Crew different from other gyms that you have tried in the past
The sense of family, camaraderie, and community that exists within the gym. It's a unique environment where people come together and support each other. The 4pm class, in particular, has been a source of motivation and positivity, making my day even better.
What do you like to do when you’re not training at Fit Crew?
Outside of Fit Crew, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife Victoria and our daughter Gwyneth. They are the center of my world. Aside from that, my other priorities include family, friends, and work, which keep me occupied and fulfilled.
Can you share a fun fact we might not already know about you?
Here's a fun fact about me: I actually rebuilt my boat from the ground up. When I first acquired it, it was in a dilapidated state with plants growing out of it. However, through my efforts, I transformed it into a functional vessel that now provides us with memorable fishing adventures and enjoyable family times.
