This Is Who I Am!

My name is Sheldon Walcott and I’m an I.S.S.A. CERTIFIED ELITE TRAINER/ STRONG NATION INSTRUCTOR & CIRCL MOBILITY INSTRUCTOR at WALCOTT’s GYM-F.I.T. CLASSICS. My love of fitness started when I was 42 years old. It started when I got a wakeup call one day, as I was assisting our Men’s Group at our local church to do some cleanup work around the building, and I had some trees to cut down, by the time I cut the first one, I felt like I was about to faint, my heartbeat felt like it wanted to come out of my chest, I felt so nauseous and I started to panic, I remembered sitting on the steps to catch my breath and realizing that I was badly out of shape and that I needed to make some changes towards my health, if I’m to be able to be there for my family, friends, loved ones and importantly me! I was always fascinated about fitness, but never really taking it seriously to start. I had my normal 9-5 job in an Information Technology department, as a Systems Administrator III for an Insurance company for 18+years, but the stress of my work was also contributing to me being in poor health, and it was from that moment I made a daring decision to branch out on my own to follow my passion for fitness, which led me to study to become an I.S.S.A. CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER, and then I went on to specialize in Strength and Conditioning for building power and muscle endurance, Sports Nutrition of how to fuel your body the right way to achieve optimal performance along with multiple courses that I was able to achieve a high level as an I.S.S.A. ELITE TRAINER .

I spent the next 4 years learning everything there is to know about health and fitness and I'm still an active learner to this date; it was during that time I stumble upon (but it really was destiny) a High Intensity Tempo Training program called “Strong By Zumba”, and I loved every minute of it! That I went on to become licensed to teach this platform in my scheduled livestream and in-person classes, I’ve worked with many clients of all ages being dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles, instructing them with proper forms and techniques, to assist them in accomplishing their goals with the results of improving their performance to optimal levels, helping them be successful in their Fitness and Nutrition journey, and I’d love to do the same for you! 

Outside of the gym, I’m an active member at my local church, yes I’m a man of faith (smile), and I honestly believe that our Heavenly Father desires that we all find balance in our lives, and go after the dreams He’s placed in our hearts and guess what? It’s our job to pursue that, and become wholesome and an added benefit to those around us. I also spend my time with my beloved wife and 2 boys which I can now say that "I have the energy to be there for them" (Mission Accomplished! hahaha), I have a love for nature hikes, and there is so much beauty to behold in the world around us! I love, love, love listening to uplifting music, gospel is my got to genre and I have a guitar! Not that I'm any good at it but yeah! I got me an Ibanez 12 strings Acoustic! lol
