My story traces bullying, a near-drowning, social anxiety, and chaotic hippie years—overcoming through fitness, nutrition, faith, and grit—to empower others to rise and rebuild.
Written by us, the owner of Body by Wally
This isn’t just a book—it’s your call to rise.
To find strength in the middle of chaos and quiet battles—not someday, but now.
Forged in Fitness is the true story of Waldimir “Wally” Baskovich—a boy who nearly drowned, battled bullying and crippling social anxiety, and lost his way in the hippie era. When quitting seemed easier, he fought back—and fitness became his lifeline.
Part memoir, part battle-tested guide, it shows you how to turn pain into purpose, weakness into strength, and fear into faith. With beginner-friendly fitness principles, mindset strategies, and practical nutrition, you’ll have the tools to rise—stronger, sharper, and steadier.
Be the difference—because when you become who you’re meant to be, you lift everyone around you.
