DARRYL WALKER

Originally from Dublin Ireland, I started my fitness career as a parttime spin instructor in the Canary Islands. I spent a few years there working on my fitness qualifications and travelling to bigger cities and fell in love with rhythm riding. The pandemic changed my mindset completely and I thought if ever there a time was to take the leap it was NOW!

Those decisions led me Stockholm and my career choice has grown from there! After spending some months in South Africa with a studio there I joined The Place Stockholm as Head of Ride in 2022. My love for the connection between mind and body is what keeps my interest so high within the fitness space.

Mindset is everything and my classes focuses not only on what the body can do for you but how the mind can take you further than you ever thought! It’s a journey for me, a practice every time. Take perfection out of it, give what you can and take what you need.

The music is everything for me and just like in life I like to keep it interesting. A mix of house, pop, EDM. When it comes to my playlists you could probably say nothing is off limits!

On the bike it’s a Double Tap Press for me.
