Our Story

FSL Foundation was founded by personal trainer and wellness coach Deon Walcott, who has dedicated over 15 years to the fitness community. Witnessing firsthand the disparities in access to fitness and wellness services, Deon realized that those who needed these services the most often couldn’t afford them. Having grown up in underserved communities himself, he understood the struggles and was determined to give back.

Deon’s journey is one of resilience and redemption. After spending four years in federal prison, he returned home determined to rebuild his life. Fitness became his saving grace, providing him with the structure, discipline, and purpose to thrive. Inspired by his own transformation, Deon founded the FSL Foundation to pay it forward—using fitness to uplift and save the lives of individuals in underserved communities through accessible fitness and wellness programs. 

FSL Foundation is not just about physical health—it’s about hope, empowerment, and creating lasting change. FSL Foundation is committed to fostering healthier lifestyles and wellbeing among underserved populations. Through comprehensive support and community engagement, we strive to make lasting impacts on individuals health and quality of life.
