What makes Chris Walker different is his approach. He focuses on correcting movement patterns, from stability, mobility and motor control.

“It’s all about creating a stronger foundation for life” he says.

Chris enjoys anything active – from hiking, to kettlebell flows and barbell training, he embraces all types of training that challenges and strengthens movement patterns.

This is at the core of his personal training program. By correcting the body to perform better for longer, participants can expect to see improvements not only physically but mentally as well.

Established 6 years ago in Orange (Central West NSW), he successfully runs training sessions both face to face and online with a global clientele across Australia, UK and Europe. A stint in London gave him the chance to train actors through a private studio.
