Bart Walsh

Bart Walsh is an actor, father, and one of Australia’s most respected voices in both fitness and resilience. As Head Coach for Jetts Fitness Australia, his professional work impacts thousands of lives, but it’s his personal journey that truly inspires.

In his early 20s, Bart was diagnosed with aggressive cancer. Rather than becoming a victim, he turned inwards, discovering that physical strength could rebuild mental resilience.

In 2020, he and his wife experienced the tragic loss of their newborn son, Aurélien. In response, Bart created Aurélien’s Workout, an annual event that transforms grief into growth and love into legacy.

Most recently, he was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative neurological condition that threatens his ability to move. But instead of giving in, Bart chose to lean in, continuing to live, teach, and speak with even greater purpose.

Now Bart has decided to pic up the mic, and give air to the important questions he gets after his presentations and workshops. Questions whose answers will help thousands of people become more resilient week over week.
