Who I Am

Welcome

My name is Walid, founder and head coach of WATANCO.

My journey in training started with a deep passion for movement, strength, and discipline. Over the years, I developed a training philosophy that combines calisthenics, functional strength, and structured programming — not just to build strong bodies, but strong mindsets.

Instead of focusing on one discipline alone, performance has always been my priority. I am an all-round athlete with extensive experience across strength training, calisthenics, and endurance sports, including long-distance running and multiple marathon events. This diverse athletic background allows me to create training systems that balance strength, conditioning, and longevity built for real performance, inside and outside the gym.

WATANCO was created to bring people together who want more than just a workout. Here, training is about consistency, progression, and the right approach to nutrition — building performance from the inside out, together. I believe that real results come from balance: technique and intensity, freedom and structure, individual growth and consistency.

Every training session is designed with purpose, whether the goal is performance, aesthetics, or long-term health.

This is more than training.
This is a lifestyle built on discipline, respect, and growth.
