WALX Dewent & Dales Discovery & Power of Poles

This relaxed and practical course teaches you the simple techniques that transform walking with poles into Total Body Walking. You’ll learn how to use the poles correctly to improve posture, balance and coordination, engage your upper body and make every walk more effective and enjoyable.

Learning the technique from the beginning gives you the confidence to join our regular sessions knowing you’re getting the very best from every step. It’s suitable for complete beginners, no previous experience is needed, and we’ll guide you through everything at your own pace.

For many of our members, the Power of the Poles course is where they really discover just how much difference the right technique can make.

Feel lighter on your feet, work the whole body, improve posture and walk further than faster than ever!

If you’ve been thinking about joining us but aren’t quite sure where to begin, our Discovery Session is the perfect first step.

Whether your goal is to improve your fitness, enjoy the outdoors, meet new people, regain confidence after illness or injury, or simply become more active, we’re here to help you find the activities that are right for you.

Many people tell us they nearly didn’t come along because they worried they wouldn’t be fit enough, didn’t know anyone or thought they’d hold everyone back.

The truth is, almost everyone starts with those same thoughts.

Our Discovery Session is relaxed, friendly and completely pressure-free. It’s an opportunity to meet us, ask questions, learn about the different WALX activities and discuss what you’d like to achieve. We’ll explain how everything works and help you decide which sessions will suit your goals, fitness and interests.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear understanding of the different WALX programmes and feel confident about taking your next step.

Many of our members tell us they only wish they’d joined sooner.
