Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Curious how The Walking Book Club® works today? It’s an unconventional club — part curated audiobook resource, part movement practice, part community — now organized around the SAVOR Method. These FAQs explain how it all fits together.
What’s new with The Walking Book Club®?
The Walking Book Club® is an active community and go to resource for audiobooks that inspire movement — organized around the five elements of the SAVOR Method: Sustenance, Activity, Variables, Organization, and Refuelment.
Every audiobook we review and recommend maps to one of these elements, so each pick keeps you moving and helps you thrive in mind, body, and spirit.
Our unique Sneaker Rating System helps you find books with compelling stories and top-tier narration, making every step more enjoyable.
What is the Sneaker Rating System?
Our Sneaker Rating System evaluates audiobooks based on three key factors:
- Motivation to Move – Does the story make you want to keep going?
- Narration Quality – Is the audiobook so engaging that you lose track of time?
- Overall Experience – How does the story, narration, and pacing come together to create an immersive listening experience?
The better a book scores in these areas, the more sneakers it earns!

What does health coaching have to do with The Walking Book Club®?
As a National Board-Certified Health Coach, I know that movement is one of the most powerful tools for well-being.
Pairing great audiobooks with movement makes it easier to build healthy habits that last. If you’re looking for more ways to thrive—beyond just walking—I invite you to explore my coaching services.
Do I have to walk, or can I be active in other ways?
Any activity counts - chores, gardening, cooking, etc. Non-Exercise Active Thermogenesis or NEAT energy is a significant contributor to overall health.
What if my walking environment isn’t safe? Or the weather is bad?
Try listening while doing daily life activities, like chores around the house.
One of my favorite non-exercise activities is prepping fruits, veggies, and healthy meals. The Walking Book Club can make repetitive tasks like laundry more enjoyable.
What if I'm not interested in the group selection?
No worries.
Pick an audiobook that keeps you motivated to move and share your Sneaker Rating with our community.
We love knowing what inspires you to stay active.

Why does this happen?
Email Service Providers (ESPs) sometimes block email from an entire server, IP address, or ISP (Internet Service Provider) to protect you from unwanted or malicious email such as phishing, scams and spam. From time to time they get a false negative, which happens when they mistake email that you want for email that you don’t want.
