following the Stroll to Stride 5K programme has been a delight.
I have found that I am walking faster, my body is toning up and
after each session I feel my spirits lifted.“

Frequently Asked Questions
The WalkActive App programmes are all access monthly subscription for £ 19.99 per month. Each month in addition to your S2S5K programme receive expert Live Coaching with Joanna, join monthly challenges, progress your WalkActive with guided programmes + receive support with private learning community to help realise your WalkActive efforts!
You can download the audio coaching sessions directly onto your smart phone and listen to them off line as you walk just like a podcast.
Yes, I’ve created sessions specifically on the WalkActive Technique to help you + when you enrol you’ll also receive the free mini course to cover the basics. If you want more focus on technique join the Get Started with WalkActive programme to learn the WalkActive fundamentals in more detail. It’s my foundation programme and the BEST place to start your WalkActive journey. You’ll find this in your WalkActive app too, all included in your monthly subscription.
I’ll ask you to complete 4 sessions each week at your convenience. You can repeat a week and progress at your level to fit with your life.
At week 1, your walking sessions start off at 24 minutes, gradually building up to 50 minutes of continual walking at week 6. You’ll also receive a 10 minute introductory audio coaching session to help you prepare.
This is a self paced course so you can progress at the pace that feels right for you. You can repeat a week if you feel you need a little more practice before moving onto the next week. And if you miss a few sessions you can pick up where you left off or ease back in with previous audio coaching sessions if this feels better for you. You can post your progress and ask questions in the community for support from fellow participants as well as have options to access additional live coaching with Joanna as well.
S2S5k is a programme to get you beginner to fit. We’d recommend that if you can walk for a continual 20 minutes – then S2S5k is the programme for you. If you are still building up your activity levels, or just keen to master the WalkActive technique and get to grips with the WalkActive basics before progressing we’d strongly encourage to start with the foundation programme Get Started with WalkActive to learn the WalkActive fundamentals first.

Feel you are being personally coached
Enrolled on S2S5k after doing Get Started with WalkActive as loved that and was keen to carry on.
S2S5k is a great course that I can thoroughly recommend. It’s well thought out and builds up, so that you are equipped to do the 5k which is so satisfying when you do it. Support and approach is great. Joanna makes you feel you are being personally coached as you walk with her guiding, reinforcing and motivating you as you go on your way.
The support of others within the community is great too.
In addition after completing the course you can keep accessing the material which I do for motivation as I go out on walks and they would not be half as effective without the coaching in my ear.
Great course for the body and mind, have a go!

Fitter than ever + lost weight
Great course, easy to follow.
I am fitter than ever and have lost half a stone and maintained the weight loss for over six months, which is a first. It’s amazing the difference it makes having Joanna in your ear. I have to walk alone when I am doing a pace walk as no-one can keep up with me! but this means I can focus on my technique and not get distracted when talking. Having said that, the technique is now becoming a habit, my posture is better and I am naturally lifting from the hips and looking up.
Thank you.

Exercise I actually enjoy
WalkActive with Joanna Hall is amazing! It feels like a holy grail for me to find a way of exercising that I actually enjoy. I did the Couch to 5K running thing last year but found it a real chore… following the Stroll to Stride 5K programme has been a delight. I have found that I am walking faster, my body is toning up and after each session I feel my spirits lifted. I have also felt that I have really worked my body, especially my legs. The music really helps with pace and combined with Joanna’s coaching throughout keeps me on track, motivated and smiling! I can ‘hear’ the smile in her voice.
Joanna’s coaching method is particularly inspirational and motivating for me because she speaks of kindness to the body, to feel joy in the way our bodies move and to breathe in and appreciate our surroundings. This feels good to hear, especially on those days when you might be feeling a bit ‘less than’.
I am so glad that I discovered WalkActive – I cannot think of anyone who wouldn’t benefit.
