"The willpower & grace™ workout was launched at Equinox Fitness Clubs New York in 2000, as one of the very first barefoot, equipment free, cardio fusion programs in the industry. These unique qualities set willPower apart from many other branded exercise programs, and was very well-received by our discerning members, looking for new, innovative and motivating formats. It's been wonderful to watch this program expand over the years, and continue to inspire our members with a solid, challenging and inspirational workout." - Carol B. Espel, MS
National Director of Group Fitness and Pilates, EQUINOX

"The willpower & grace™ program has been a staple on our NYC schedules since 2000, and is offered at many of our locations throughout the city. Since I joined the Equinox team in 2002, I've observed willPower as a steady, well-attended program, which proves the strong content of the workout. The willPower education program has provided Equinox with strong instructors who know how to lead a physically well-balanced exercise routine while also providing the exceptional member experience that Equinox demands." - Rachel Lee Sibony

"At Rutgers University we now offer willpower & grace™ over 10 times a week as we have found a very enthusiastic following. Once patrons take a class, it is easy for them to see the value in a weekly program. I personally love willPower and have found that it's helped me get my body back after having my second child. From an exercise science and sports medicine perspective, it is a solid program providing strength from the core to the feet.

Stacey Lei's unpretentious nature inspires us all to be better instructors, as well as people, inside and out. She offers well-grounded fitness education, a solid base of choreography for class development, and amazing master classes. Working with willPower productions to arrange workshops at Rutgers University is always very easy. Her team is flexible and professional. We've now held 4 workshops and have pulled a great crowd every time." - Stacy Trukowski
Director of Fitness, Rutgers University, NJ

"Since the fall of 2007, I've had the unique privilege of witnessing a vast amount of willPower growth and excitement. The program at the SUNY campus is designed not only for the exercise needs of faculty, staff and students, but also to offer them the opportunity to join the fitness education team. This past semester we offered 4willpower & grace™ classes each week to sell-out crowds. We just recently hosted our first phase I workshop, with teacher trainer Tobi Krause, and we sent out 25 new willPower instructors to bring the willPower philosophy to their home towns after graduation. No class has touched or inspired our community in such a powerful way." - Jillian Hargrove
Aerobic Director, SUNY New Paltz, NY

The willPower program has been very successful at the YMCA in Sommerset, NJ... our class size is consistently 40-80 members! The willPower instructors are motivated - and awesome... each one has the ability to combine the Willpower sequences and formats to make each class challenging and interesting. Member feedback is consistently: “I finally see a change in my core strength and flexibility... and without WillPower once a week, I feel like I’m missing something.” Our members keep getting stronger and WillPower allows each member to work at the level that is best for them. - Lynda McHugh
YMCA, Somerset, NJ

"I’ve seen and participated in many programs that touch only a fraction of what willpower & grace® offers. My clientele has responded with such enthusiasm to the program which links strength, flexibility and mind-body training so effectively. willPower addresses the varied abilities of my students, challenging my athletes yet allowing newcomers to participate at their own level. I’ve witnessed an unusual emotional response from my clientele; the result of combining high intensity challenges with empowering willPower philosophy. As a willPower instructor, I am excited to offer a workout that comprehensively addresses the needs and goals of my clients in a equipment free, progressive barefoot class." - Denise Chakoian Olney

"willpower & grace™ is the perfect cardiovascular compliment to those who teach and practice Pilates and Yoga. It incorporates all of the alignment principles, and stays true to the vital connection between mind & body. As an International Pilates educator, I've shared this workout with students worldwide. The willpower program will not only enrich the way you teach, but will change your world, and your students' bodies will speak for themselves." - Joana Meneses

When I first tried willPower and Grace, I was impressed by how simple yet challenging it was. No props, no tools -- no place to hide! It was fun, and intense -- my ego definitely came down a notch. It was a complete, head-to-toe practice. More than a workout, it was an hour of mindful, purposeful movement that left me feeling centered and strong -- not just in my body, but in my whole person. That's what keeps me coming back.

I find willPower and Grace to be very accessible and practical. There's a place for me, whatever level I'm at, and it makes me a better mover -- in the dance studio, walking down the street, even at my desk job.

I decided to take the instructor education course so that I could improve my own home practice. I left feeling inspired and excited, not just for my own training, but to also share willPower and Grace with others.- Kim Nicol
