Instructors delivering WALX classes in the UK

Kevin Martin

Hi Everyone
Thanks for visiting my page and for your interest in Nordic Walking!
Nordic Walking is a great way to keep fit and mobile outdoors. Burn more calories than regular walking or rambling, exercise outdoors, tone your body, get a total body workout, have fun and meet like minded people and improve not only your physical health but your mental health as well. If you like the sound of that and want to  be part of one of the fastest growing exercise activities in the UK then Nordic Walking could be what you’re looking for!!

Come and try our 90 minute induction sessions called Power of the Poles (POP). Once completed you can join our regular weekly walks either on a pay as you go basis or via a monthly direct debit.

Keep in touch, find more information and photos on my Facebook/Instagram/Twitter.  Also on YouTube, Walx Ravensbourne.

Look forward to meeting you!

Kevin Martin (Nordic Walking Instructor)
