Originally from the United States, Toney Walls is a Fitness Professional who has twenty years’ experience in the fitness industry. He has been certified by several organisations including Power Pilates, the American Heart Association, and the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Toney received a Bachelor's degree in biology from Lincoln University and a Master's degree from the University of Oxford (United Kingdom).

 

A track & field hurdler in high school, Toney opted for modern dance at university and later was selected by school director, Denise Jefferson, to study and train at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center in New York City where he danced professionally with various recording artists including Michael Jackson.

 

Toney taught fitness classes at NYC's top health clubs: Reebok, Chelsea Piers, and Equinox Fitness. Later in Italy, London, Oxford, and Brussels. His clients range from Olympic athletes such as Russian diver Inga Borodina and Canadian rowing gold medalist Jake Wetzel  (who attended class in Oxford), celebrities such as Luther Vandross and Michelle Williams, to soccer moms and dads, and believers & achievers in all shapes, sizes, and levels of fitness.

​

Regarding Pilates. Toney believes in it whole-heartedly and is excited about its evolution. Unlike purists, constrained by a snapshot of Pilates in 1967, Toney believes that the Method, which evolved during Joe's lifetime, should continue to evolve along with the ever-changing needs of the populace.

NOTE: Toney offers group training only.
