About Walter FB
My name is Walter Foster-Bolton and I am the Founder and Head Coach at Fitness with Thor. I’ve been passionate about personal training since I started my own fitness journey at the age of 15. Through hard work and dedication, I discovered that exercise not only transformed my physical strength but also boosted my self-confidence. This confidence came from setting and achieving goals, pushing my limits, and discovering my true potential. This experience, combined with my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology & Exercise Science from Augsburg University and my ACSM certification as a personal trainer, has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to help others achieve their fitness goals and experience the same sense of accomplishment.
As a professional bodybuilder and competitor, I’ve fully embraced the fitness lifestyle. I now run my own training business, working with clients in their homes, at a private club, and through corporate wellness programs. My approach is centered around understanding each client’s unique needs and creating customized plans to help them succeed. I specialize in preparing clients for competitions, providing nutrition coaching, offering posing guidance, and delivering general fitness advice. I also work with companies to promote employee health and well-being through on-site training and wellness initiatives. While I’m proud of the bodybuilding competitions I’ve won, my true joy comes from seeing my clients and corporate partners transform their lives through fitness. I’m known for my friendly, approachable style and my dedication to helping each individual and organization reach their full potential, not just in terms of physical strength, but also in terms of self-confidence, productivity, and overall well-being.

Typical Training Session
A typical training session with me lasts approximately 50 minutes. We begin with a warm-up to prepare your body for the main exercises planned for that day. Every exercise is carefully selected and has a specific purpose, which I will explain in detail if needed.
Throughout the session, I provide guidance, support, and feedback to ensure proper form and technique. I also check in with you regularly to assess your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your plan. This helps us stay on track towards achieving your fitness goals.
My aim is to create a positive, motivating, and educational environment where you can feel comfortable pushing yourself and learning more about fitness. By the end of each session, you should feel accomplished, energized, and one step closer to your desired results.
Client success story
One of my most rewarding client success stories involves a 16-year-old boy named Alex. When Alex first came to me, he was struggling with self-confidence and felt uncomfortable in his own body. He was often too shy to participate in physical activities with his friends and found it difficult to assert himself in social situations.
Alex’s story resonated with me on a personal level, as I could relate to the challenges during my own teenage years. Growing up, I often felt self-conscious and struggled to find my place among my peers. It was through fitness that I discovered a sense of confidence and self-worth, which is why I was so passionate about helping Alex on his journey.
Alex’s parents reached out to me, hoping that a dedicated fitness program could help their son build confidence and self-esteem. I worked closely with Alex to create a personalized plan that focused on setting achievable goals and celebrating progress along the way.
At first, Alex was hesitant and self-conscious during our training sessions. However, as he began to see improvements in his strength and endurance, his attitude started to shift. I made sure to provide constant encouragement and positive reinforcement, helping Alex recognize his own potential.
Over time, Alex’s physical transformation began to translate into increased confidence in other areas of his life. He started engaging more with his peers, participating in group activities, and even taking on leadership roles at school. Alex’s parents noticed a significant change in their son’s demeanor and were thrilled with his progress.
By the end of our time working together, Alex had not only achieved his fitness goals but also developed a strong sense of self-worth and confidence. He learned to embrace challenges, push himself out of his comfort zone, and believe in his own abilities. Seeing Alex transform from a shy, insecure teenager into a confident young man was an incredibly fulfilling experience for me as a trainer.
This story is just one example of the diverse range of clients I have had the privilege to work with. I train people of all ages and conditions, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and goals. For instance, I have experience working with individuals in wheelchairs, adapting exercises and equipment to ensure they can participate fully and safely in their fitness journey.
Whether my clients are teenagers looking to build confidence, older adults aiming to maintain their health and independence, or individuals with specific physical challenges, I am committed to creating inclusive, supportive, and empowering training experiences. By drawing on my own experiences and focusing on each client’s individual needs, I strive to help them achieve not only their fitness goals but also a greater sense of self-confidence and overall well-being.
Hobbies
My passions include spending time with family and friends, exploring the outdoors through hiking, indulging my love for cars, enjoying the escapism of video games, and staying active with basketball. These diverse interests bring me joy.
