We designed unique poles

The unique design of the WALX ergonomic handles combined with the 15 degree angle of the Fizan shafts mean that the power of the upper body is transferred to the pole via the WHOLE hand. This means the motion feels natural and effortless with reduced strain on the wrists. We want to make sure you get achieve maximum power and comfort.

We Train Instructors

We train motivated caring people to help others get results from exercising outdoors via our award winning programmes and social groups. Up to 1,000 walks a week from rehabilitation to workout – all lead by insured, experienced professionals.

WALX HUB and STORE

Our experts are on hand to help people get the most out of walking and using poles. Whether you shop online or come to our hub for one to one advice – we will ensure you get the RIGHT poles and know how to use them correctly
