PharaohCast 🎙️ | Featuring Valerie Walters

What started as heartbreak… turned into a championship.

In this episode, we sit down with Valerie Walters, Group Fitness Coordinator at Crunch Fitness, who turned pain into purpose — and ended up winning a bodybuilding competition without even knowing what she was stepping into.

Now, she’s helping others fall in love with fitness through U-Jam Fitness — a dance-based workout that’s all about energy, confidence, and FUN.

As she says:
👉 “It’s like going to the club… without the creepers or the hangovers.”

⸻

🔥 In this episode:
• Turning heartbreak into transformation
• First-time bodybuilding experience
• Building confidence through fitness
• Why FUN is the missing piece in most workouts
• The power of group fitness

⸻

If you’ve ever needed a sign to start your journey… this is it.

• Built With Science (Aug 10, 2024): Surveyed ~205 women; arms ranked #1; then chest/back/shoulders; calves last. Methods and order reported.

Bottom line for programming your training/content: if you showcase arms, shoulders, chest, core, and glutes—with an emphasis on the V-taper and strong arms—you’ll align with what most women report noticing first.
