Game changer for my daily walks!

This app has completely changed how I walk. The method is simple to follow but makes a huge difference — I feel fitter, lighter on my feet, and more energised! THANK YOU ❤️

Amazing app-well worth a look

I started the Learn the WalkActive Method course and absolutely loved it! The instructional videos and audio guides were great and I felt the difference in the way I felt when I was walking after just a few sessions. Great app 😊

A coach in your ear!

A great app - helps motivate, walk well and to right tempo with good technique. Flexible ad you can combine different programmes !!!

Great for knees

The WalkTo The Beat sessions are perfect. I can choose the pace and length and Joanna’s coaching is great and really helps keep my posture and technique correct. This program has been amazing for my arthritic knees. No pain.

Method good app flaky

The Walk Active method is great and I find it helpful but the app isn’t so good, it won’t let the Home Screen go to sleep, it closes unexpectedly and sometimes opens to a blank white screen. 5* for the method and 3* for app.

Blank

This app opens up to a completely blank screen! Nothing to see, nowhere to go.

Amazing New Look App!

I ve been using The WalkActive Method for a while now and delighted to see a new improved app - stunning design and super easy to navigate through all of the content. There’s so much to choose from, and you can even pick n mix your sessions and add to a Favourites list. I personally love the Walk To The Beat music sessions in the Audio Coaching Library.. the music’s great, and it’s so motivating!

My new way to exercise

Love this App! Used the enjoy running until menopause kicked in and my joints started to ache everytime I ran so needed to look for alternative exercise. Came across this walking method in the Guardian and decided to give it a try. After learning the basics in the Get started with Walkactive section, I did Stroll to stride 5k which was a 6 week programme and it was great. I got the same results as what I had with running, but without the pain so walking has now become my go to exercise. It did take me a while to get used to this walking method, but now that I have cracked it, I feel like I glide around the park!

White screen

App doesn’t open since last update. Stuck in a white screen?

Excellent App - worth the investment!

I’ve been using this App for almost a year now and can’t rate it highly enough! There is so much content, there really is something for everyone in terms of whatever level you’re at with your walking. I find I can go back and brush up on different parts of the technique or just choose an audio coaching track for however long I’ve got to walk. Using this App and applying the WalkActive technique has changed my energy levels, my posture, my cardio fitness and my waistline. Joanna’s coaching adds encouragement and enthusiasm so that even on the days where it’s raining or it would be easy to give training a miss, within minutes I’m enjoying how I feel and proud for making the investment in my wellbeing. Joanna and her team are very responsive so there are real people behind the App who really care about your use of the App, questions about your own situation, and developing content that users want.

Great Programme

Pre covid I did a weekend course with Joanna and loved it! Obviously such treats cannot be regular occurrences but the app allows me to walk with Joanna talking in my ear where her enthusiasm is infectious and her encouragement keeps me on track. The app provides a variety of training options to challenge you and help you improve, and there are also monthly webinars with live coaching. In both the app and live coaching sessions, Joanna responds to individual questions and offers appropriate advice. I highly recommend WalkActive - there’s a seven day free trial with the app so give it a go and, as Joanna says, “Walk, walk, walk!”

LBP

I am so enjoying learning the process to ‘walking active’. It is a challenge but Joanna is with you the entire way, encouraging and guiding. It’s a wonderful App

Vert disappointed

I heard great things about Joanna Hall and her walk active technique from a friend. I downloaded the App, paid my £20 and I am so disappointed with the App. The videos don’t download properly (and I have tried in many different places), the App is very disorganised and I’m sorry to say that after numerous attempts to get going, I am giving up.

Brilliant coach

Joanna is a wonderfully engaging and inspiring coach; learning her method is transforming our walking and our live.
Thank you Joanna

WalkActive training

I find Joanna’s program effective, well thought out snd enjoyable. I believe I will gain great benefit from it. I believe I am significantly older than most participants and am little over a week into the program but can see that with perseverance I will benefit greatly,

Great content

The WalkActive program is great. There’s a lot of excellent content and Joanna is very involved She responds to almost all comments and has live events often.

Walking tall with grace!

I have been a Walkactivist for some years now after doing a day in-person workshop with Joanna. I was inspired then by her coaching and the Walkactive approach. It has been great to have this app with all the resources in the one place. There are live classes, coaching, recorded sessions and specific programmes to follow whether you are starting out on your Walkactive journey, or are a seasoned Walkactivist. One of my favourites is the Stroll to Stride 5k as well as the regular early morning live sessions and monthly challenges. As a Sports Scientist, Joanna’s knowledge shines through and you know that this is a coach who really knows her stuff! But more than that she is inspiring and her sessions are joyful and uplifting. I know of no better way to improve posture, health and fitness levels! I’m walking tall with grace and you can too!

Convoluted

Would like this app if the content were accessible and not so disjointed. I’m opting out of the trial period because the app is so bad. That’s a shame because the content and purpose looks promising.

Rehab

This has been a terrific rehab tool after hip replacement. It is giving me the confidence in walking that I need.
