Zoë Boston – Personal Trainer

I am a functional movement trainer, focussing on mobility and flexibility based on on principles learned from Erwan Le Corre's MovNat, having trained extensively alongside him and Frank Forencich, amongst others. Aiming to overcome the desk posture of hunched shoulders and tight hip flexors, I encourage clients to work towards a stronger mid section and increased mobility in order to help prevent injury and to improve technique and ability in all other sports. Using a cross between the flexibility movements of yoga, pilates and natural gymnastics alongside natural movement patterns and crossfit type circuits I work clients to their full potential to improve posture, stamina and strength.

Combining movement with deep massage and flexibility work I find gives my clients the ultimate in strength and mobility that enables fast improvements in all other movement aspects of life, from picking up or playing with their children, to having a greater range of movement through their golf swing!

Zoë’s specific training style has been perfect for me – direct, working harder than I have ever done and getting the results I want so quickly. Wicked. - Simon

Kristie Walker – Personal Trainer

I am a functional movement trainer, kettlebell instructor, running coach and ante/post natal movement specialist.

Through functional movement training, I focus on making people fitter, leaner, healthier and most importantly happier. Each individual has carefully tailored training to ensure they reach their goals, whatever they may be. I believe in functional training that improves skill, agility, posture and strength as well as minimising the risk of injury. I practice what I preach and recently won gold for Australia at the World Kettlebell championships in New York. As a former Australian National Triathlon Champion, I also work with specialist clients who are looking for help to prepare for events such as triathlon, marathons, endurance and adventure racing, advising clients on realistic progression plans for them. I am able to offer programmed targets and timetables to work to, along with a nutritional protocol to support training.

The last couple of months strength sessions have given me a great basis to begin my marathon training programme…..keep on at me Kristie and with your input I’ll be crossing the line in good time in Paris. – Helen

Matt Walker – Personal Trainer (coming soon to The Albany Club)

Since I was young, I have run, climbed and played my way to the top. Health and fitness have always been an integral and enjoyable part of my life and hence it was a natural transition for me to make it into a career. In my earlier days I went to explore America and worked as a snowboard and ski instructor. I then spent seven years as an Army Commando in 29 cdo regt ra , 3 commando brigade, where hard physical work and optimal fitness were existential. Upon leaving, I began my own personal training business and travelled the world in search of the best training methods, which ultimately led me to the joint development of the PuraVida concept.

I have extensive fitness instruction experience and have worked on fitness holidays around the world, for Wildfitness, British Military Fitness and my own business, Summit Personal Training.

I am also a certified Crossfit coach, a Kettlebell instructor and coach for the England Kettlebell team having previously competed for England at the World Kettlebell Championships.

I am passionate about the PuraVida philosophy and believe that the specific movement, nutrition and massage techniques have become key factors in the improvement of my urban clients' health, fitness and happiness levels.
