# Chris Baker Training
Chris Baker is a London-based personal trainer specialising in functional movement and body reoptimisation. With over 15 years of experience, he works with clients to challenge established movement patterns through integrated mind and body reconnection, enabling them to achieve their physical goals.
His approach combines elements of Functional Range Assessment (FRA) and Functional Movement Systems (FMS) to conduct comprehensive body assessments before tailoring bespoke training programmes. This deep understanding of how clients move—identifying individual strengths and weaknesses—sets him apart from conventional trainers.
Chris serves four primary client groups: those building strength and movement efficiency, athletes preparing for specific events with periodised training programmes, individuals recovering from injury or surgery seeking optimal performance restoration, and people returning to fitness after sedentary periods. His philosophy centres on sustainable lifestyle change rather than quick fixes.
What distinguishes Chris Baker Training is the personalised assessment methodology and flexible delivery options. Beyond traditional one-to-one sessions, he offers small group training (2-4 people), remote sessions via video for travelling clients, and specialised retreat experiences. This accessibility ensures clients can maintain consistency regardless of circumstances.
His credentials and affiliation with recognised functional movement systems demonstrate professional credibility, whilst his emphasis on mind-body reconnection suggests a holistic training philosophy that addresses movement quality rather than merely pushing harder.
