NORDIC WALKING

Nordic walking is a fun, social, outdoor, total body workout. Using Nordic walking poles (provided in all sessions) works your chest, back, arms and shoulders as well as your legs. The most surprising result is that the poles allow you to work harder than you feel!

Nordic walking sessions take in the full beauty of Hampstead Heath. All classes are graded so you can find a class that matches your fitness level and goals, or why not arrange a small group personal training session that is designed specifically for you and your partner, or you and your friends?
