PERSONAL TRAINING STAFF

Walter began his fitness career in 2004 as an NCCA accredited personal trainer and group exercise instructor. His passion for health and wellness motivated him to pursue a degree in health sciences from Purdue University. Walter's personal interests along with his studies encouraged him to deepen his involvement with fitness, and in 2011 he opened WC Fitness in the Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia. Owning his own fitness organization has allowed Walter to intensify his commitment to healthy living, and he especially enjoys the opportunities for community that accompany the tight-knit fitness family that his gym fosters. Walter's dedication is motivated by a sincere enjoyment of helping others change their lives, and he credits his clients and friends for his successes.  

Walter has always enjoyed venturing into the community to share the importance of a healthy lifestyle through public speaking and demonstration. Some of his community engagement affiliations include Enon Tabernacle Church, Community College of Philadelphia, Albert Einstein, and Girard College of Philadelphia. In September 2016, he was a panelist for the American Heart Association alongside other notable names such as Patty Jackson, Gerald L. Devaughn and Kim Coles.
