WHO ARE WE
At Walkerfit, training isn’t about pushing limits for the sake of it.
It’s about regaining movement, confidence and independence, one step at a time.
James Walker specialises in post-physiotherapy functional training for people who:
-
Are recovering from injury
-
Are living with mobility challenges (stroke, Parkinson’s, age-related decline)
-
Feel unsure, anxious or discouraged about movement
-
Want to keep progressing after physio has ended
With over 15 years of hands-on experience, James helps clients move better, feel stronger, and rebuild trust in their bodies — at their own pace, without pressure or judgement.
You don’t need to be “fit”. You don’t need to be pain-free.
You just need to be willing to start where you are.
WHO THIS FOR
You might be:
-
Coming out of physiotherapy and unsure what to do next
-
Recovering from a long-term injury
-
Living with Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, or neurological challenges
-
An older adult wanting to stay independent, balanced and mobile
-
Someone who has been told “movement will help” but not shown how
Many clients come feeling nervous, frustrated, or disconnected from their bodies.
James’ role is to meet you exactly where you are, and help you move forward safely.
More Than Training: A Supportive, Experienced Approach
James is not a physiotherapist — and he is very clear about that.
What he is, is a highly experienced trainer with:
-
Deep knowledge of human biology, anatomy and physiology
-
Over 15 years working with injured and mobility-limited clients
-
Practical insight that closely aligns with physiotherapy principles
-
A calm, patient coaching style built on trust and understanding
Training focuses on working with your body, not fighting it.
✔ Movements are adapted around pain, limitations or injuries
✔ Progression is gradual, consistent and realistic
✔ Exercises support everyday function — not just gym performance
✔ Fear, embarrassment or past setbacks are handled with care

After years of going to the gym and struggling to make any significant progress, James and his training plan completely changed my mindset about fitness- not to mention my entire body shape! I’ve lost over a stone after James taught me how to ditch the long hours on the cardio machine and weird circuits I’d seen on Instagram for his personalised plan, and I’ve since fallen in love with training in the gym. It’s had a positive affect on so many different aspects of my life. I have so much more energy and motivation these days, as well as feeling so much happier and more confident in my clothes, so many people point it out! Can 100% recommend James and his services!
David, Accountant
I've been working with James with around 4 years and have really enjoyed his approach to personal training. With his help, my flexibility and confidence quickly improved and I have been able to achieve my goals of building strength being able to perform more advanced exercises. I would be happy to recommend James to anyone regardless of their currently level of fitness or objectives.
Chris, Swainland Building Services
I have been lucky enough to have worked with a number of strength&conditioning / Personal trainers, over the years, both within and outside of a professional team sports context. James’ professionalism, enthusiasm and passion towards your goals and training aspirations, is infectious and inspirational. Thanks to his help & continued support, I lost just under 20KGs inside six months; in so doing I reached and have continued to maintain my target weight, whilst seeing massive improvements in general diet, fitness, strength and well-being! I have found James to be one of the best and most elite trainers I have ever had the pleasure of working with and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others who are serious about improving.
