Walk Description:

We are excited to welcome newcomers to using poles to exercise the whole body while walking.  

This course is designed to provide sufficient knowledge to use poles proficiently.  

In this 90-minute session, you'll learn the basics of using poles for walking and gain your Nordic Walking UK Freedom Passport. This also gives you the skills and competence to get the most from your walking and join national Nordic Walking UK and WALX classes.  

There is a second course to progress from Beginner to Advanced, Power of Poles 2.It is an optional progressive course for those wanting to explore a more in-depth knowledge of walking with poles and is highly recommended.   

Locally, you can book into any of our Kennet Valley WALX immediately and enjoy effective, total-body walking in beautiful surroundings.  

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.   

Whilst well-behaved dogs are welcome on our social WALX, they are not recommended to attend training courses. This keeps you and your companions safe and focused.

We ensure people enjoy safe, effective outdoor exercise following Government guidelines. Only the beginner course will be postponed if the weather is inclement, as it is hard to hear me in the rain with hats and hoods on.  I will contact you up to two hours beforehand.  

Please bring £2 with you so we can enjoy a hot drink in the Cotswold Sports Centre. We are also able to use their facilities.  

Additional information: 

We are sharing the outdoor space with others, including dog walkers. Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather and walking shoes with grippy, sturdy soles. Wearing a bum bag with a water bottle or hydration pack is advisable.   If you are likely to be delayed, you are asked to contact your WALX Guide by phone, leaving a voicemail or sending an SMS to the number listed below. While we understand that sometimes it is impossible to make a class, please be aware that we operate a no-refund policy if you give us less than 2 hours notice.   Please ensure your PARQ is current and notify us in writing if you have any medical records or changes in your physical or mental well-being. This should include any surgery, falls, knocks or accidents.    Janine Lewis 07792 550191
