My wife and I have been trying to get in shape, going up n down w/results. We joined a gym n looked into their personal trainers but weren't impressed w/what we got for the extra cost. Decided to try Wally n signed up for 6 mos. It's been about a month and we are super satisfied!! Already feeling a lot better and the results are slow as we just started but they're coming. Got him to give us his nutrition guidance which is great info. His trainers, when Wally isn't there, are great and his clients have all been very friendly. BL - def recommend if you need help like we do. read more

Let me start off by describing Wally. He is one of those charming people who can get away with saying anything because he does this in such a respectful, motivational and genuine way. You can see he genuinely loves what he does, and more importantly KNOWS what he is doing, not just because he knows the science, but also because he has years of experience of watching muscles being molded. He makes the gym routines work. The gym itself is well equipped, and small enough that everyone is watched. You prepay for a fixed number of days (you choose) every month, everything is transparent, and you get circuit routines designed by Wally every week; which can modified for someone post-physical therapy or for someone training competitively - this is where the trainer's watchful eye comes in. While consistency is key to any fitness routine or gym, a good trainer and a friendly community can make this change easier, faster and injury-free. One of the best gyms in Augusta! read more

Wally cares very much about his clients meeting their fitness and health goals. He obliged me in sending texts so that I come in regularly and makes sure I work hard when I'm at the gym. In a month I've lost 10 pounds and my % body fat has dropped 6 points! read more

I have been exercising with Wally for 8 months. My goals are being met, I enjoy my sessions and have suffered no injuries. I am 72 years old, a Type II diabetic and overweight. I feel comfortable and welcome at Body by Wally and it is my intention to exercise under his guidance for as long as I am able. read more

Body By Wally is awesome! It is a great gym for people of any age and physical level. You pay by the month and get unlimited sessions to work out with a trainer to meet your personal goals. Wally is very knowledgeable about all things physical fitness and nutrition and can help you meet your goals. Each day he has a circuit workout available to allow clients to do HIIT training, or he can give you another workout that meets your needs. The best part is that since it is a small gym, no matter how many people are in the gym you still get personalized attention and assurance that you will not get injured doing any workouts unlike other gyms. Definitely stop in and visit Wally to see what he's all about! read more

Wally is a knowledgeable, top-notched trainer. You set the goals you want to achieve and he'll create a plan so that you can not only meet but exceed your own goals. He's always creating new routines and combinations of exercises to maximize your fitness. Love the opportunity to train on equipment that is only available in Wally's gym. Great guy, great motivator, great gym, definite 5 stars! read more

We had just got back from a 14 night cruise to the caribbean and I was sporting an extra 10 pounds...tried to do a personal trainer at EFC and my wife never wanted to go back to the gym. You see, we are older than 55 and do not work out like we should, however we realize that fitness and "core" strength is important if we are going to stay agile for more travel. I happen to come across Wally when looking for another place to train. Most of this is to get my wife motivated...she does not want some buffed guy standing around doing nothing while she is trying to do planks and push-ups, when she has never done them before. We are in our 4th week and my wife actually gets up and goes to see Wally because she feels better. My wife has arthritis and has to have some exercises modified...not a problem with Wally, he constantly asks how she is doing and changes things to accommodate her. I too have noticed a remarable difference in my legs, back and arms. I am trying to concentrate on VO2...increasing my stamina so that I do not get tired and out of breath when doing tasks. This has been a wonderful experience and could not have asked for a better trainer!! Do what we did, we went and just talked to Wally about his program, how he handles different conditions...his overall philosophy about exercise, which he has been doing for the last 40 years. He will also discuss nutrition, which is a very important part of exercise and weight loss. I have to run now...I need to eat my banana and natural peanut butter for an energy snack/boost. read more

Body by Wally is a great place to get your body in shape, tone, and build muscle. I recently had knee replacement surgery plus several other surgeries during the past year, and I realized all that had depleted my muscle mass plus I was unsteady. Wally is very attentive, gives you one to one training, and understands your needs. I would highly recommend Body by Wally. P. Wahl read more

I decided to start training at Body By Wally when I saw the owner/trainer training other clients, He was totally concentrated and focus while he was training these people. Wally is an outstanding personal trainer. He takes time to explain how to perform each exercise more effectively without compromising the form. He is passionate and 100% dedicated about his job! He is always pushing me to work harder, but in a safer manner to avoid injuries. He is very knowledgeable and helps me a lot when I have questions about exercise or nutrition. I started training with him 18 months ago, and is one of the best decisions I ever made! My physique changed rapidity, and I love the way I feel and look! I am very proud to be a "role model" for women my age or younger. I keep telling them that is never too late to start training! I am almost 64 years old, exercised since the 1990's and I never saw the results as I see now. I didn't believe a 63 years old woman can change her physique that good, specially, my arms, shoulders and back. He also trained me to be a stronger and faster runner improving my time by 11 minutes in a half marathon (I started running at age 60!) read more
