Train with Championship-Level Coaching in Kinston, NC

 

At Fitness by William, your training plan isn’t pulled from a template — it’s built around you.


We assess your current strength, conditioning level, metabolism, and long-term goals to create a program designed for measurable progress. Whether you're focused on fat loss, muscle development, or preparing for competition, every phase of your training is structured for results.


Owner Dr. William Ingram is a two-time Mr. North Carolina State Bodybuilding Champion, National-Level competitor, and WNBF Natural Professional Bodybuilder. With over 30 years of experience, he brings championship-level precision to every client he coaches.


Here, your health comes first. Always.

Structured Coaching That Produces Results

 

Results don’t happen by accident. They happen through structure, consistency, and accountability.


At Fitness by William, your training includes more than workouts. You’ll follow a clear progression plan that aligns strength training, conditioning, and nutrition so your body improves week after week.


You’ll know:
• What to train
• How to train
• When to progress
• And how to adjust when needed


No guesswork. No random programming. Just disciplined coaching designed to move you forward.
 

Built for Long-Term Strength

 

Real change isn’t about short bursts of motivation. It’s about building habits that last.


At Fitness by William, training becomes part of your routine — not a temporary phase. You’ll develop strength, discipline, and consistency that carry beyond the gym.


Fitness stops feeling like something you “try.”
It becomes something you live.


When training is structured and accountability is present, progress becomes sustainable.

 

III John:2

Beloved, I wish above all things that

though mayest prosper

From Tragedy to Triumph

Angelia Craft

 

Angelia Craft will tell you that fitness did more than change her body — it saved her life.


After experiencing unimaginable personal loss, Angelia found herself battling depression and grief. In the middle of that darkness, training became her refuge. The gym became the place where strength slowly returned — first physically, then mentally.


Under William’s mentorship, what began as healing turned into transformation.


Angelia went from rebuilding her confidence to earning her Natural Pro card — proving that discipline, faith, and consistent training can restore more than muscle.


Her journey has been featured in No Nonsense Magazine, and she continues to inspire others by sharing her story.


At Fitness by William, transformation isn’t just physical.

It’s personal.

My Training Schedule

My workout was a three-day split performing 3 sets of 12-10-8 reps for each exercise.


Day 1: Chest & Shoulders

Day 2: Back & Biceps

Day 3: Legs & Triceps


Cardio: a 3-mile run 6 days a week, and the Stairmaster for 30 minutes 3 days per week, with stretching everyday.


William Ingram was a great mentor for my contest preparation.

Client Transformations

 

When I first met William, I knew there was something different about him. His care for people is genuine and steady. I trusted him immediately.

Training at Fitness by William strengthened more than my body. It strengthened my mind. William leads with patience, wisdom, and faith. He shares his knowledge of fitness and scripture with sincerity.

This gym is not just a place to work out. It is a place to rebuild. – M. Hill

When I decided I wanted to empower myself and enter a bodybuilding contest before I turned 50 I went to Fitness by William.  

Dr. William Ingram asked about my fitness background and I explained I really wanted to become leaner and more muscular.  I loved working out at the gym.  Everyone was so encouraging.  William said I could compete that November at the Crystal Coast Classic in Morehead City.  Long story short - I went from 200lbs to Natural Pro!  Many thanks to William for his guidance and encouragement.  - A. Craft
