There are different types of WALX to suit all levels of fitness. Wellness WALX are low intensity and contain moderate rates of exertion plus mobility exercises. Explorer WALX can vary in the level of intensity due to the terrain, the duration and the elevation and Total Body WALX can vary due to the type of fitness component included in the activity. On the WALX website, you can read the description for each activity that will include all of this information before you book any activity.

You need flexible soled trainers or walking shoes – ideally waterproof but this is not essential.

Clothing needs to be suitable for the weather and its always a good idea to bring extra layers. A small backpack or hip bag is useful for carrying waterproof clothing or extra layers. It is advisable to bring a bottle of water to any activity.

No. The WALX Leader will provide equipment to get you started. If you are participating in your favourite WALX activity regularly, you can buy your own equipment which is available on the WALX website, where there is a discount available to WALX Members.

Most Wellness WALX and Total Body WALX activities will take between 45 minutes and an hour. Explorer WALX tend to take longer due to the distance or terrain. The WALX website includes a description of every WALX activity that explains the location, the type of activity, the duration and the intensity so you can be certain that you have chosen an activity that suits you.

Most WALX activities are designed for adults but some will be designed to be specifically suitable for families, young children or mature adults. Generally, there is no upper age limit as long as you select a WALX activity that suits your level of health and fitness.

For most WALX activities, you will learn any specific techniques as part of the activity, so there is no need for an induction class. Separate Technique courses are available for those people who want to develop specific skills and get more from their exercise. In Total Body WALX there are regular workshops to help you master the specific equipment or techniques such as Nordic style.

All WALX are designed to improve an individual’s health, sense of well-be g and fitness.

The level and the rate of improvement is dependent upon many factors including frequency of participation, the level of effort expended in the activity, diet and other lifestyle factors.

Before you start with WALX you will be asked to complete a Pre-Activity Readiness Questionnaire. if you have any conditions that are considered to be contra-indications to exercise, our WALX Leader will contact you personally to discuss your condition. In most instances this will not prevent you from participating, but it does ensure that we can give you the best advice and help you to achieve your health and fitness goals.
