Adam Walker
Adam Walker started out as a hockey player
(goalie) from the age of 5 years old, loved to
play sports, keeping fit and living a healthy
lifestyle.
After attending Dalhousie University in 1994
and playing for the Dal Tigers in 94 and
95. He continued his university education
at UNBSJ graduating in 2000 with a B.A.
degree with a double major in Canadian
History and Canadian Political Science.
In 1998, Adam Walker attended his first
bodybuilding show at the age of 22 years
old in Columbus Ohio at the Arnold Classic;
where he also had his picture taken with
his childhood idol Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He had no idea it was just the beginning of
a long and exciting career in the sport of
Bodybuilding.
Adam competed in and won various titles
from 1999 to 2002 in the province of New
Brunswick and Atlantic Canada. His final
competition brought home a first place
middle weight title and best poser award.
After ending his competitive bodybuilding
career, Adam joined the Saint John Fire
Department where he currently works as an
Acting Lieutenant after 19 years of service.
In 2004, he opened Canadian Made Muscle,
a popular supplement Company serving
customer’s right across the country for the
past 16 years. Speaking at countless clinics and
seminars across Atlantic Canada he was giving
the opportunity to begin a judging career that
stretched over a decade in various Provincial
shows around Atlantic Canada and spending
half that decade judging Canadian National
Bodybuilding and Bikini competitions across
Canada.
Adam is also a very proud father of three
beautiful children, Abby (15), Lily (12), and Jack
(10). After the birth of his 3rd child in 2009, he
decided to close his 3 supplements stores and
move to strictly website sales only so he could
spend more time with his growing family.
He wasn’t done there; Adam created the Saint
John Fall Classic in 2014. Now after promoting
6 competitions he is planning a 7th during
uncertain times at the Saint John Trade and
Convention Center. Starting with 50 athletes
and 200 spectators he has seen the Saint John
Fall Classic grow into 500 spectators and roughly
133 registered athletes in 2019.
As Adam gears up for another exciting year and
show on November 14th, 2020, he is committed
as always to providing a fun, exciting, and
rewarding experience for its athletes and
spectators.
He leaves us with a quote he has lived his life by,
“If you enjoy what you do, you’ll never work a
day in your life”
