Bios:

Ardahlia (Dale) Short has been a certified professional coach for over twenty years. As a Senior HR Manager with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), she received her International Coaching Federation-accredited certification through the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC). She specializes in Executive, Professional, Business, and Life Coaching. She has had the opportunity to train, mentor, and coach many employees, supervisors, managers, and executives for NASA and other Federal organizations. She has received many organizational awards for her performance and leadership. 

The year 2022 was pivotal for Dale, as she retired after more than 33 years of federal service to focus on an intentional, healthy lifestyle and became a silent partner in the Butterfly Effect Studio in Middletown, Delaware. In 2023, Dale fully immersed herself in her health and wellness journey, becoming a certified wellness coach by attending the National Academy of Sports Medicine's Wellness Coaching certification program. She is working on her Nutrition Coaching certification through the same organization and is expected to graduate in October 2025.  

Through her opportunities to coach and educate others on their health and wellness journey, Dale has committed to fighting against and dispelling the misinformation that companies and uninformed individuals are spreading to the community of people desperately looking to improve themselves.

Walter Sellers, a seasoned expert with 25 years in the health and fitness industry, is the visionary founder behind The Butterfly Effect Studio for Training. Initially launching Classicman Fitness during the pandemic, Walter transformed it into a beacon of personal transformation and wellness. His credentials include certifications from ISSA, Action CPT, and Girls Gone Strong, as well as brief stint training in the NFL, underscoring his commitment to excellence and innovation in fitness. Walter's accomplishments in powerlifting are nothing short of extraordinary. As a professional powerlifter, he holds over 7 world records across three prestigious organizations: the World Natural Powerlifting Federation (WNPF), National Powerlifting League (NPL), and American Powerlifting Association (APA). His dedication extends beyond personal achievement; Walter has also successfully coached powerlifting teams to regional, national, and world records, showcasing his ability to inspire and lead others to greatness. In addition to his powerlifting prowess, Walter is a passionate bodybuilding competitor in the National Physique Committee (NPC) and the American Natural Bodybuilding Federation (ANBF). His dedication to these sports exemplifies the discipline and perseverance he instills in his clients. Walter's journey is as diverse as it is inspiring. Holding a degree from Elon College, he spent 15 years in the retail automotive sector, advancing from sales to finance and management roles. This experience laid the groundwork for his later success in management consulting, where he honed his skills in strategic planning and leadership. Driven by a desire to address America's health crisis, Walter dedicated himself exclusively to the health and fitness industry.
