Trainor Jim

Trainor Jim Trainor Jim is the home of The SHUFFLER® 🏆 An award-winning seated exercise device co-designed with an NHS GP.

Simple chair-based movement to support circulation, mobility and balance - at home, at work or in care settings.

28/07/2026

We’re delighted to share that The SHUFFLER® has been selected to feature at the Global Health Innovation Showcase 2026, hosted by Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex and Zenith Global Health

We will be presenting in person at BMA House, London on 1st October, alongside innovators whose work is helping shape the future of healthcare.

Being selected from a highly competitive field is an important milestone for Trainor Jim, but more importantly, it’s recognition of something we have always believed:

Movement is medicine.

As our population ages, helping people maintain mobility, confidence and independence has never been more important. Simple, evidence-informed movement interventions have the potential to reduce deconditioning, support rehabilitation and improve quality of life.

We’re looking forward to sharing our journey, learning from fellow innovators, and continuing conversations about how preventative, movement-led healthcare can help people stay independent for longer.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Trainor Jim so far. This is another exciting step forward!

Behind the scenes at TJ (a snapshot!)

We're an independent business — but this month the SHUFFLER® reached more homes, care settings and community members than ever.

Every order is packed locally, and when you email us, it's one of us who replies. And your reviews? They continue to make our days đź’›

We've also teamed up with AMG to share the TJ story more widely, and talked seated movement with the researchers at Canterbury Christ Church University │ CCCU.

But the best bit never changes: seeing the SHUFFLER® out in the community every week - the chats, the laughs, the friendships.

Every like, share and order helps more people move, more often 🙌

The UK’s Chief Medical Officers have refreshed their physical activity guidance with a simple message:

Every movement counts.

It’s something we’ve believed since day one.

Too often, people are told to 'exercise more' without being given a realistic way to do it. If you’re living with reduced mobility, recovering from illness or surgery, or simply finding conventional exercise difficult, that advice can feel impossible.

That’s why we created the SHUFFLER®.

Not to replace walking, swimming or the gym, but to fill the gap for people who are often excluded from them. A gentle, seated way to keep moving when other options aren’t suitable.

Because making movement more accessible has the power to change lives.

The updated guidance also highlights the importance of reducing long periods of sitting, building movement into everyday life, and maintaining strength and balance as we age. It’s encouraging to see national guidance recognising that even small amounts of activity can make a meaningful difference. (GOV.UK)

“Wow, I can really see the benefit.”

A brilliant reaction from the team at Age UK HLA during Dr Jim Kelly’s visit to Hythe, Lyminge and Ashford this week.

Jim was there to introduce The SHUFFLER®️ and prepare for a Official Sport England study beginning in September. The visit gave both staff and members the chance to try it for themselves, ask questions and see how seated lower-limb movement could fit into their existing activities and support.

Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome and for getting shuffling!

Most people assume The SHUFFLER®️ is only for people with limited mobility.

But that’s only part of the story.

Jake gave it a go for the very first time and immediately saw where it could fit into his routine — before training, after training or simply while relaxing at home.

Different people use The SHUFFLER®️ for different reasons. The common thread is making movement easier to fit into everyday life.

What do you think… would you use it before training, after training or while watching the football? ⚽

Not everyone can access exercise in the same way.

That’s exactly why The SHUFFLER®️ exists.

We recently visited in Kent to speak with sport and exercise academics and senior researchers about seated lower-limb movement, accessibility and rehabilitation.

From muscle activation and calf stretch to knee mobility, and circulation, the conversation highlighted how much can happen when movement is made more achievable.

The SHUFFLER®️ was designed for people who are often left out of traditional exercise options - and this was a brilliant opportunity to explore that with people who understand movement in depth 🙌

When movement becomes difficult, equipment needs to feel simple, safe and achievable.

That’s exactly why The SHUFFLER® was designed: a compact seated movement aid for people who may struggle with traditional fitness equipment.

This feedback means a lot to us, because it reflects the gap The SHUFFLER® is working to fill - helping more people access gentle movement in a way that feels possible.
