Walk Description:

An opportunity to brush up on your Total Body Walking technique.

A 90 minute session for ALL walkers, the class will involve more instruction than usual and is a great way for Wellness, Explorer and Nordic walkers to check their technique, making sure you get the maximum benefit from Total Body Walking.

We will revisit gears and pace and understand the effects of effort on your different muscles.

A fun and informative way getting you ready for the spring and summer ahead turning those walks in to a full body workout.

A chance for quick refreshment awaits at Marquis Drive visitor centre following the session for those who can make it.

Safety measures.

Our online health questionnaire (PARQ) asks you to update your current health status. If you feel unwell between booking your class and joining us, we ask that you err on the side of caution and cancel your booking. You will be directed to book another date or a refund can be issued.

You are asked to contact your Instructor by phone, leaving a voicemail or sending an SMS to the number below, if you are likely to be delayed as we do start WALX promptly.

Whilst we do understand that sometimes it is not possible to make a WALX, please make every effort to advise the WALX Guide. 

We undertake to deliver all WALX with qualified staff and have made every effort to risk assess all routes. On occasions, it is necessary to make dynamic risk assessment decisions when there is a localised incident such as fallen trees on the route, flooding, traffic changes, etc.

Please ensure you have completed the online health questionnaire (PARQ) and notify us in writing if you have any change to your medical records or physical or mental wellbeing. This should include any surgery, falls, knocks or accidents. Thank you.
