Taiwan is a forward thinking country with traditional values and friendly people. The stunning Island is full of beautiful landscapes and ecosystems as well as vibrant Cities like Taipei.
When the team at WALX were first invited to showcase their unique poles and fitness programmes, we never dreamed it might lead to a launch of the concept across the Island, beginning in the City.
We are now proud to have a full WALX Taiwan team including an academy and 10 Master Trainers who will be rolling out total body walking Instructor training courses in the near future.
Our Partners FREE TIME GEAR are working with us to introduce wellness and fitness for all ages and abilities in the stunning urban parks and nature reserves. The Taiwanese team are highly qualified fitness professionals who share the WALX vision for effective exercise, that is affordable and sociable. As we conducted the practical training sessions in Taipei, there was certainly a huge amount of interest from the locals too.
The Intensive training is part of our International partnership programme which provides a structured process to establish, promote and grow total body walking which whilst simple to learn, is also adaptable for fitness, rehabilitation and engaging with nature. WALX provides a range of modules with universal teaching cards aimed at ensuring that every participant gets the results they want.
WALX poles will also be sold in outdoor stores with the aim to promote natural but effective walking as part of the growth of hiking in the region. With future tours and holidays already planned, the WALX community is growing and we are proud to be spreading the power of walking worldwide!
Yu-Yi Chang of FREE TIME GEAR told us
The past three days have truly been a transformative experience for all of us. In addition to learning new skills, the insights you shared on teaching techniques and the WALX business model have deeply engaged our entire team.
Watch this space as to where the WALX team go next as we continue on our mission to get more people walking with poles for pleasure and results!
