Quick-Start Clinics

Quick-Start Clinics (75 minutes) are ideal for people who like to learn in a small group—usually 4 to 6 participants—and at their own pace. I supply the Nordic walking poles. This is not a long, sweaty, non-stop-walking class; instead we stop and start as you learn how to Nordic walk in a step-by-step format. We do not venture too far from our starting location. These clinics are usually a wonderful mix of people of varying ages and fitness abilities.
