Group Classes, Clinics &
Private Classes

No experience necessary...all fitness levels and ages are accommodated... & walking poles are provided at no charge.

Equipment tip: There are many different styles and qualities of Nordic walking poles. Some people are disappointed to learn that the poles they bring to my classes aren't the best poles for them (e.g., they're noisy, difficult to adjust, locking system doesn't hold, boot tips are too hard, straps are cumbersome, etc.). I suggest learning about the poles by borrowing from me first. Then make an informed decision when you're ready to buy.

CLINICS

2012

Not able to attend weekly classes? My 75-minute group clinics teach you all you need to know in one efficient session.

You’ll get one-on-one coaching and feedback, then head home with a handout to help remind you of the techniques learned that day.

This session is ideal for all ages and fitness levels. Don't worry - we don't walk for 75 minutes straight! We'll be stopping and starting and chatting and experimenting within the time frame.

The focus of these sessions is proper use of the equipment and proper urban poling/Nordic walking technique.

Poles are available to borrow for all clinics and also to purchase ($99/$115) after the clinic. Instructional DVD included.
