What can I say about my coach. He’s known via many names: Andrew, William, Walker and Coach. My relationship with Walker began with a simple follow on Instagram. I was starting my journey to lose weight and I remember seeing a random follow from an actual physique athlete local in my area, which I thought was pretty cool. He always showed encouragement towards me as he saw my work ethic in attaining my fitness goals. One faithful night I happened to run into him at the local 24 Hour Fitness that I worked out at and we both recognized one another. From the get go, Walker was and still is super approachable and extremely humble. I told him it was awesome to meet him and he gladly took a pic and we exchanged contact information.For the spam of the next few months we would regularly see each other at that gym. As I said earlier, Walker is super approachable and a very humble person, and we would sometimes go on tangents talking about anything really. From fitness, nutrition, sports, and life, no topic was really off limits.When it came to the topic of fitness and nutrition, Walker never shied away from my questions and would always gladly answer them and show his expertise in those areas. Because of that, I could sense his passion for fitness, nutrition, and the sport of bodybuilding. He didn’t have to answer my questions but he always did, and I am truly appreciative of that. I don’t think most people would have done that and help an overweight individual like myself at the time.The more and more we ran into each other, the more Walker saw how committed I was to attain my fitness and health goals. One day, he texted me and said, “I see how hard you work, and I don’t normally do this, but because of the dedication you have to attain your goals, I want to help you attain them. I’m very picky of who I coach but because I’ve seen how hard you work, when you’re ready, hit me up.”  Working with Walker has honestly been one of the best decisions in my life, hands down. With his help I’m currently down 50+ pounds and counting. He truly cares about his clients and always has their best interest at heart. He knows when to push you, and also when to reign you in. He tells you like it is and doesn’t beat around the bush when it comes to constructive feedback and criticism. He’s always available to answer any question I have about my current nutrition and training plan. But really the one thing I really appreciate, is that he’s available when I need someone to talk to if I’m not having the best day or I just need to vent or share my feelings about anything. He’ll go out of his way to make sure I’m okay or put my mind right to make sure we have continued success.By far the biggest thing that working with Walker produced is my confidence. Everyone I know says I’m a different person not just physically but mentally. He’s made me realize that with hard work, consistency, and dedication that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. For me, his coaching transcends fitness and nutrition, he’s also been a life coach of sorts as well. Because of working with him I don’t think I would have enrolled myself in the Cyber Security Bootcamp course I’m currently taking at UC Irvine. Again, he’s made me believe in myself that I can accomplish anything as long as I’m willing to work hard and stay dedicated.Going back to my initial thoughts about what can I say about my coach, there are not enough words to describe the quality of a person he is. I can say this, I don’t see him as just my coach and mentor or even a friend. I’m proud to say that I have gained another brother in my life of mine. ~ Eugene Young
