ABOUT W FITNESS

MEET THE FOUNDER:

Walkyria Whitlock

My name is Walkyria, and I am an Idaho-based NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach. I am also a Deepak Chopra Certified Yoga Instructor and Meditation Teacher.

I started meditation and yoga when I was 18-20 y/o. These two practices helped me overcome depression, build a better relationship with my body, and feel limber and calm in my mind. I became a Yoga Instructor in 2018 and have taught at Yoga Retreats in Costa Rica, Morocco, and all around the world on yachts.

I became certified in Yoga Nidra (sleep meditation) in 2018 and just finished my Meditation Teacher Certification through Deepak Chopra in March 2024. 

Personal Training is a career that grew from a passion. I found it empowering to learn about nutrition, how the body works, and science-based training concepts. Anything is possible if you stay dedicated and consistent!  

Learning about nutrition has transformed my life. I have dealt with an E.D. myself, and before I embarked on this journey, I healed that one. If you think you may have an E.D., talk to a registered psychiatrist. 

There is hope though! You can learn to enjoy food, build a healthy relationship around eating, and achieve the results you desire. Sound too good to be true? The difficult part is consistency! Depending on the goals you may have, it may take a long time. You simply must be consistent in your nutrition and exercise and adapt as you see fit.

As a Nutrition Coach with a cooking background (I used to be a cook on yachts and a private cook for a family in the Hamptons), I see that you eat things you enjoy while getting nutritional benefits. 

With a rounded base of approach, my goal is to provide you with the resources and education that will lead you to a healthier and happier life.

My methodology is empowerment through education. Once we have an understanding of why/how the body works, we know the framework that we need to work within to achieve the results we want. There is a lot of freedom within this framework, and we will discover what you enjoy most. Joy is one of the foundational pieces of long-lasting fitness routines.

And my favorite quote as it pertains to fitness is, 'a body in motion, stays in motion.'

Longlasting change comes from lifestyle change, and lifestyle change comes from creating a life in which you are happier than before! Let's build that life together. 

Fun Fact: I also love to write and have a Published Poetry Book: 'i LOVE what i've forgotten'!  Building more confidence in your life will enable you to step towards any dream you have.
