Wil is the original owner and founder of Fearless Athletics. First exposed to CrossFit training in 2005 while rehabbing a hamstring injury, Vicinus was “hooked” after his very first workout, which was performed in the “Tabata” style of intervals (20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest). For the next two years, he engaged in CrossFit-style workouts with a small group of renegade fitness freaks in random outdoor areas throughout the streets of Philadelphia. In 2007, he obtained his CF L-1 certification as part of the last official certification held at CrossFit HQ in Santa Cruz, CA.

Vicinus’ coaching style depends heavily on how hard he’s been caffeinating. He expects and often earns 100% effort from all of his students, whether they’ve been members for five minutes or five years. His ability to tune into an individual’s movement is second-to-none and he loves to celebrate people’s accomplishments—no matter how big or small.

His experiences in CrossFit training have helped him discover and achieve so much more than he ever thought capable of. Just don’t ask him to do a muscle-up.
