NPW Club:

If you are looking to get outdoors, meet other walking enthusiasts, and get more active, our Nordic Pole Walking CLUB may be for YOU!

The club runs from the beginning of May to the beginning of October (weather dependant). We travel around to various parks/pathways in the Lethbridge area so that you get a chance to practice your pole walking technique on different routes and terrains with varying difficulties.

During the club we will:

Perfect your pole walking technique
Teach you how to properly warm-up and cool-down
Go over some strengthening exercises you can do with your poles
Give you tips on proper hydration and nutrition for your longer poling sessions

We will be running two different classes, based on difficulty level - Rehabilitation Class and Fitness Class

Rehabilitation Class

Held at a slower pace and an overall shorter distance, this class will be appropriate for any individual who may be dealing with a health condition, recovering from an injury, or who feels unable to walk at a quick pace.

Fitness Class

This class is structured to challenge participants' speed, endurance and duration of walks. There will be a gradual progression of overall walking distance and duration of the classes, as well we be eventually be tackling more difficult terrain, including hills and coulees.

Important Information

Both classes will include instruction on Pole Walking Technique; no past experience is required, although it is recommended that you attend one of our Intro sessions
