I looked for a personal trainer online and I just kept coming back to Chris Walker. His reviews spoke wonders. At the time, I was travelling, was overweight and feeling miserable about myself and had no consistency, routine or exercise. I knew if I just went to the gym, I'd be lost and overwhelmed. I wanted to invest in myself and most of all, be educated. After some research, Chris was the obvious choice. I managed to lose 2kg by myself then I started with Chris. From day 1, he told me what to eat and when, and I saw an instant change. He makes you realise that nutrition is such a big part of the process and that you need to put time and effort in to your eating if you want to see results. Our sessions in Raise The Bar gym were pretty intense but never too much. I felt a sense of achievement as each week, the weights I'd use would creep up and I'd get stronger. Each step of the way, Chris would explain the technique so I would never feel overwhelmed, but instead confident and with a good understanding of the movements. This led to me going to the gym twice a week independently to build on the work we were doing, and to grow my confidence. A few years ago, I would never have walked into the weights section, as it can be so intimidating, but now I don't even bat an eyelid! I know what I'm doing and how to do it, and that confidence and knowledge has come from education from Chris. Before I knew it, I was doing pull ups with no assistance (the day before my 30th birthday! A big goal of mine) and lifting more than my bodyweight in a back squat. There are a lot of excellent PTs in Raise The Bar but Chris seems to have that edge when it comes to attention to detail. He thrives on his clients' progress, their understanding of exercises and their increased confidence. Chris keeps it real. He puts responsiblity on to you to be proactive but he doesn't make you feel bad if you're up on your next weigh in - he's realistic and believes in a balance. Following his plan, I was able to indulge over Chrismas and STILL keep losing weight. Overall, I came down by 8kg and 1-2 dress sizes. My confidence went through the roof. I had to buy new clothes and thrown out old clothes that no longer fit. I felt strong and fit. I received endless compliments. I felt in control doing my own workouts. I knew how to eat well. So many people asked how I'd managed to make such a drastic change, that a total of FIVE family members and friends also signed up with Chris and began PT sessions. What a vote of confidence!I stopped coming to Chris as I relocated down South but my time working with him has given me the foundations I need to stay in shape for the rest of my life. I still use all that knowledge in my regular workouts. Going to Chris was quite honestly the best investment in myself that I have ever made. Thank you Chris!Moreexpand_more
Chris comes into my workplace each week to deliver a 30 minute HIIT class. He has a skill for making you feel comfortable and he is so motivating, you can't help but have a laugh during his class. Chris is very knowledgeable and is always happy to spend time providing advice about exercise and nutrition. I couldn't recommend him enough!
Chris is brilliant - very professional and polite. His workouts really get you sweating and your heart racing! Chris's HIIT classes are hardwork, but he knows his stuff - with Chris you WILL get fitter, you WILL get stronger, your aerobic fitness WILL be enhanced and you WILL enjoy working with him.
We attend weekly HIIT classes in our workplace during our lunch hour. Chris' sessions are varied, challenging and motivating. He tailors the exercises to individuals' needs. Chris provides advice about nutrition and diet and suggests exercises that we can do at home too.
I had been obese for the last 8 years of my life. My everyday life had constant restrictions and I decided I couldn't continue to live like this. 8 months ago I came to the UK to be close to family members in an attempt to change my life and I started a healthy diet. But it was only when I met Chris Walker that I believed I can make the change. Chris listened to me, understood my personal situation, agreed to my goals and planned a specific training program. In every single session he knew how to support me, how to guide me through the exercises and push me when I thought I couldn't make it. Even in my bad days he had only good comments to say to make me feel good and this was very encouraging to keep me going. I was looking forward to my sessions because Chris has the unique skill to make you feel that you are not going to the gym but going somewhere to have fun. Day by day I could see my body dropping pounds off and my strength and posture increasing. I started believing in myself again. Now my journey has come to its end. I lost 5.5 stones and I have gained an incredible body strength. I turned my life upside down and I can dream again. Going back to my homeland I have not words to thank enough Chris Walker for his contribution to my success. Without him by my side I would have probably stopped early. His character, his personality, let alone his personal training knowledge and skills undoubtedly helped me to achieve my goal. I cannot recommend enough Chris to anybody who wishes to make a change in their lives and start training. Chris is the best personal trainer and the most cheerful guy I have ever met.Moreexpand_more
Are you looking for a PT that can keep you motivated, even at 6am? Are you looking for someone who can help you smash your goals whilst still keeping it fun and realistic? Are you looking to get support with education on food, fitness and mobility to sustain your results? If so…Chris Walker is the guy you need in your life! Chris has kept me motivated to achieve my goals for nearly 12 months now and I'm at my lowest weight for years. He has also supported me with my mobility issues along the way due to me being predominantly at a desk all day. I still have a social life and he has kept things fun and achievable by just changing a few little things along the way! He is very supportive and definitely knows his stuff. Highly recommended, best PT in Liverpool!
Chris is very knowledgeable, motivating, good fun and most of all highly qualified. He pushes me to achieve my very best and the use of a private one on one session in a private gym is an added bonus. Chris is a highly motivating personal trainer whose structured approach provides excellent results. He works with you to prepare a personalised training and nutrition plan that really works. He is one of the most motivating people I have ever met, I’d definitely recommend Chris Walker Fitness to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable trainer who can make getting stronger and healthier a fun and rewarding journey!
Having trained for many years with numerous gyms and instructors I felt that I had become complacent in my workouts. This made me to look for an alternative training method. After scouring the internet Chris Walkers name kept cropping up as highly recommended. Long story short…… joined Chris's sessions and had fantastic results almost instantly. - I lost 17lbs in under 8 weeks- Lost 2 dress sizes in under 8 weeks- toned myself up- Learnt from Chris the correct techniques for lifting weights (for years I had been doing it wrong even though I thought I was doing it right)- All of the above increased my self esteem and confidence. Without the support, patience and dedication from Chris I wouldn't have achieved these goals.
What can I say. Get signed up! Chris is an amazing PT and gets results. When I started with Chris I needed someone to discipline, push and advise me and that's exactly what I got. I gained confidence lost weight and toned in places I never thought possible. I cannot recommend Chris and the training environment enough.
I really enjoyed my workouts with Chris, I felt they were well tailored to my level and pushed me further than I thought I'd be able to go but at no point did the training feel unmanageable. I loved the weight training, which was something I hadn't done much of before. I was please with the weight I'd lost (17lb) and even more pleased with the inches lost round my waist (almost 6 inches) and 2 inches off hips, arms and legs. I feel much stronger and more confident. Chris taught me a lot about how to train and nutrition, and I was able to make changes to bad habits in my lifestyle. I was able to go on holiday, go out for meals and drinks, and enjoy Christmas without gaining weight during our training time. Chris is a really positive person to train with and was really supportive. The gym he works in is well equipped and has a brilliant atmosphere. Since finishing my training with Chris (due to relocation) I have not gained weight again (as I had in the past after diets) and have been able to implement the knowledge I've gained to continue training. I recommend Chris as a PT and was really impressed with the results I was able to achieve training with him.Moreexpand_more
Only started training with Chris 5 weeks ago and feel so much fitter(my waist, belly and legs are toning up nicely). He is so motivated and puts a lot of effort into each session, helping you improve your technique whether it be in lifting weights or mat work. I've had a IT band problem for a couple Sof years which affects my knees and since I've been going to his gym it's improved dramatically because he's given me lots of tips on how to help it.
I started with Chris earlier on this year and immediately warmed to his professional and personal manner. He's approachable and knowledgeable and encouraged me to ask any questions I may have. Having tried training before with another provider I was apprehensive at first as my first experience had left me unsatisfied. I needn't have worried - I found Chris to be encouraging without being patronising and his workouts were well planned and suited to the individual. I noticed a definite increase in my fitness levels and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere Chris created in the group. I will miss his witty one liners! I unfortunately had to stop coming to sessions due to work commitments and I must say I miss them a lot. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris Walker Fitness to friends and family.
I started training in one of Chris' group sessions about 6 weeks ago. I was quite nervous having not trained for a few months but Chris and the other girls in the session made it so much easier. Within 4 weeks I had already lost over an inch around my waist and belly. Chris is absolutely amazing. He is really supportive and is always happy to give you any helpful advice. He provides weekly weigh ins to keep you accountable and will take your measurements very 4 weeks. If any one is thinking of starting training I'd highly recommend him. I actually look forward to my sessions - even though they are hard work! I'm excited to see how much fitter I get for my next 4 week measurements!Moreexpand_more
Chris is an excellent PT and provided me with an exceptional training programme. He is always giving me the best tips and advice to acheive my goals, he is very informative in all aspects of training. I am a 53 year old woman and even though I have trained on my own it is still a challenge to be able to walk into the weights area in the gym dominated by men, but with Chris's guidance and knowledge I gained much more confidence and took with me the tips he had given me to ensure my form was always correct and how to target specific muscle groups so I knew I would be using the weights correctly without risk of injury. Chris is always prepeared to push you that little bit further to help you reach your goals. I acheived excellent results after 8 weeks with Chris and even out of the gym he was always available if I needed any assistance.
I trained with Chris for 8 months, with the overall goal of building lean muscle mass and keeping my body fat percentage low I'm pleased with the results which I have achieved over the last few months and the knowledge which Chris has passed on has been a great learning curve. My strength has improved drastically and I'm now more confident in my body too. I would recommend Chris to anyone as I believe he has the ability to adapt to everyones fitness goals whatever they may be!
