Totally Converted!
I just love Nordic walking. You can do it at your own pace and with lots of different people so it’s fun, social and at whatever exercise level fits for you. What’s not to like?And Suzanne takes her teaching seriously, so you’ll get good training, plus advice, hints, tips and help to order poles and wrist bands.
She also organises a series of walks, at different levels and at different places each week, so what you chose to do is up to you. There is lots of choice, so a perfect way to build mobility, keep fit, get fitter and have a lot of fun at the same time!
But if you’d asked me about Nordic Walking a year ago I’d have just laughed about people with poles – no longer – totally converted.’

Changed my Life!
"I have walked daily all my adult life, so thought I was relatively fit.
I started Nordic Walking in November 2022 as much to experience the New Forest as to benefit my health. The difference in me between then and now is astonishing. I have lost two and a half stone (alongside eating a balanced, nutritious diet), I now welcome hills instead of dread them, and I can do a workout walk and hold a conversation at the same time. When I first started, I couldn't even do this on a gentle walk.
In addition, my confidence has increased so much, I have made a whole group of new friends, and I have got to know and love parts of the New Forest that I had not visited before. I cannot recommend Nordic Walking Brockenhurst highly enough, it has honestly changed my life for the better."

Health Benefits!
I have had asthma for several years. Since I began Nordic walking with Suzanne my breathing has improved and my general health overall. My asthma specialist has remarked how successful the walking has been in controlling the symptoms, he recommends it for all who need to improve their health as a way of helping to control the potential development.

Healthier and Happier!
I can vouch for this wonderful group and brilliant and lovely instructor Suzanne. Started on a taster on Jan 6th 2024 and have not looked back. Love the walks. Really friendly people and have already got fitter and feel overall healthier and happier. What better place to walk than the beautiful New Forest. Give it a go you will not regret it I promise.

A great experience!
Suzanne is a professional teacher and guide who manages to make exercise enjoyable! A walk that I would otherwise find demanding becomes exhilarating, and the chance to explore new areas of the Forest in a relaxed, social environment is very special experience.
Sally
Thoroughly enjoyable!
Yes indeed, I really did thoroughly enjoy your lesson and thought it was truly excellent! Just what I was looking for. Very well structured, well paced with lovely clear explanations and instructions. I was delighted that we were staying put, in a particularly suitable spot, and really trying to get to grips (!) with the basic techniques. With anything new, I really like to know what I'm doing or should be doing -- whether I can do it is another matter but with good instruction at least I'm in with a chance! So my thanks again to both yourself and Trevor and I look forward to seeing you for lesson two next Tuesday.

Simply the Best!
As an east-of-the Hamble resident, thanks to Suzanne's responsiveness, warm welcome and on-boarding skills, I'm relearning the Power of Poles with the New Forest group. Loving it!

Great all round!
With Suzanne guiding us Nordic Walking is a brilliant way of keeping fit, making friends and experiencing our beautiful New Forest.

Fitter and Losing Weight!
Having just retired I wanted to get fit after a life time of sitting down before it was too late. Nordic walking has given me that chance. It is fun, not too difficult and after only a few months I feel much fitter and am losing weight.
Tricia
Thank you Nordic Walking!
Apart from the social side of regularly meeting up with friends, the wonderful New Forest area, the great upper body exercise, I have to say the biggest gain is posture. So thank you Nordic Walking.
Phillip
Dropped a belt size!
Nordic walking has done wonders for my fitness and stamina - developed muscles I didn't know I had ! I've even dropped a belt size!
David
Great for Posture and Fitness!
I have been nordic walking for 7 months and I am amazed what a difference it has made to my posture and fitness level. I had an old shoulder injury and was nervous that it might be aggravated by using the poles. In fact it has helped to give me more movement in the shoulder. A bonus I didn't expect! It is great walking over the forest and the adventure walks are great fun".
Patricia
Great Results!
The results speak for themselves. I have dropped a dress size and my body shape has completely changed!
Most people consider this to be a older person's activity but it is far from it!
Once we were shown how, it was easy to get the technique right.
