Meet Your Trainer
I'm Walter Rush - a certified personal trainer and fitness equipment specialist with more than 30 years in the industry. I've trained hundreds of clients, helped outfit gyms for personal trainers, physical therapy clinics, and fire stations across the country, and once rode my bicycle 3,400 miles coast-to-coast in 30 days.
I specialize in working with adults over 40 who want to build (or rebuild) real, functional strength - the kind that makes everyday life easier, not just gym numbers bigger. My approach centers on natural movement patterns first, supplemented by strategic equipment use.
Now I'm bringing that same expertise to Buckhead and Sandy Springs with in-person training at 199 Hildebrand Drive - by prior appointment only.

When I was working out with Walter consistently, I felt better than I had in years. He challenged me to break past my mental and physical boundaries. His nutrition tips helped me lose fat and feel 10 years younger. The best coach I've ever had.
