“THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND THIS! I had been on a Walkactive course about five years ago. Loved it, but since then life/work etc has got in the way a bit.... so it's been really good to remind myself what I should be doing. Since 2015 Joanna has added some excellent "drills", particularly the "four pace" one to help with hip lifts. Thoroughly recommend this, and it works at least as well online, and in many ways even better -- especially if you live in the Frozen North (aka God's Own Country) Tom from Wharfedale ”

“WONDERFUL. I found my GSWA programme was a wonderful experience and saw changes immediately. I plan to continue with my journey, and look forward to continued improvement in my walking style and speed in the months ahead. ”

“CAN'T STOP RAVING ABOUT THE BENEFITS. I came in to this course as a regular walker of distances between 5 and 25km, so I was naturally slightly sceptical as to the benefits it could offer me, but wow how wrong could I have been! After day 1 of the course, I was seeing slight differences in pace and form, by Day 4 I had managed to improve my posture not just whilst walking but when sitting as well, increased my stride length, improved my pronation, and taken over 30 seconds per km off of my overall pace without really trying. By day 7 the 30 seconds has increased to a maintainable minute plus per km quicker over a 5-10km walk. The overall health benefits are very obvious in that I can feel that I am now engaging both my Abdominal and Gluteal muscles with more affect and my pronation where still not perfect has definitely improved considerably thus reducing the risk of injury. Overall the GSWA course has been amazing, it has enthused me to continue with my WalkActive journey to achieve bigger and better. I cant stop talking raving about the benefits, and its quite amazing that I now find myself analysing the way friends are walking and wanting to offer advice to improve their experience too. Cant wait for Joanna to roll out the advanced courses.”

“IT HAS TO BE 5 STARS! A step by step guide to creating better walking technique. Its comprehensive, sympathetic and friendly. It seems quite daft thinking about learning to walk properly, but exploring the concept explains why after periods of walking, little niggles and pains appear. Putting the technique into practice will take practice, so having commitment to seeing small improvements over 10 days improves confidence and demonstrates how maintaining the technique will improve fitness. I've thoroughly enjoyed the course and will continue to revisit aspects of the course keep on improving my walking.”

“BRILLIANT. Joanna, you have done such a professional job of this site.It is so easy to follow and so much content.I really appreciate it”

“MOTIVATING & HELPFUL. I can now walk further, faster and longer without pain: hooray!”

“HIGH QUALITY RESOURCES. Well,structured course. Good use of media to cover topics. High quality resources”

“A GREAT WAY TO LEARN. I really enjoyed this course and found the daily build up of techniques and practice a great way to learn. Very clear explanations and Joanna’s enthusiasm and experience really comes through. Feeling the changes and benefits during the week is great motivation too.”

“EXCELLENT. An excellent programme”
