The Community WALX training course focuses on the use of strapless fitness walking poles , for the easier learning journey and faster results for participants than using strapped Nordic style poles. This simplified total body walking technique pioneered by our team here at WALX encourages almost immediate uptake, minimising the customer concerns of “I can’t get this technique”.
Having delivered to hundreds of community groups, we know this approach is more suited to those with health or balance issues and reduces the risk of falls which can be exacerbated when participants are strapped to the poles. Recent community programme examples have seen improved adherence rates due to faster results and increased sense of achievement. The poles have wipe clean handles which are more suited to safe COVID secure protocols.Community Projects
