Nordic Walking Classes.

Nordic Walking Classes are held at different locations in the Surrey Hills area- which includes Holmbury St. Mary, Peaslake, Shere, Gomshall, Abinger Hammer, Hurtwood Forest, Leith Hill, Pitch Hill, Wotton, Westcott, etc. Other areas include Guildford and Dorking. A fully qualified INWA Instructor teaches all classes. Classes begin with warm up stretches, practice in Nordic Walking and then cool down stretches. There are different levels of classes designed for different levels of fitness abilities and requirements. Description of Levels.

You will need trainers and comfortable clothes to keep you dry and warm outdoors. Layered clothing is always best. It's a good idea to have a rucksack or something in which to carry a bottle of water and personal items such as car keys. Please keep in mind that Nordic Walking is a full body workout so even though it might not feel like it, when burning 400 calories in an hour your body will get dehydrated.

All walkers must have completed either a Nordic Walking beginner's workshop or had a private lesson for beginners before they can sign up for any of our courses.

.
Beginner's workshop - maximum 8 people per class per instructor.

Beginner’s workshops *	90 minutes	£15 per person
Classes	60 minutes	£10 per person
	90 minutes	£15 per person

There is no pole rental charge for the beginner's workshop or for a private lesson. All classes will have a £5 pole rental charge. It is a good idea to own your own poles if you are going to do Nordic Walking on a regular basis. If you decide to buy a pair of poles from us and have previously rented poles from us then the £5 will be taken off the total price. This is £5 total not £5 for every time you've rented the poles from us.

	The Hurtwood Forest This will be the last beginners workshop of the summer so please book early. However, private lessons will still be available week nights and Saturday mornings.

	Holmbury St. Mary This will be the last class of the summer so please book early. Private lessons will be available all summer both weeknights and Saturday mornings. This class will meet outside the village hall in Holmbury St. Mary. We will go up to the cricket ground area and then deep into the forest. Over and down into Peaslake and back into the forest. Summer will definitely be in the air and this is a beautiful walk to experience nature at its best. This is truly one of our most spectacular classes and walks. We have 4,000 acres of forest in which to Nordic Walk. So many people have told us it is as if we are in northern Sweden or Germany. This area is known locally as Little Switzerland and you will understand why when you join us for this class. We will cover much of the forest in our 90 minute walk and it is a lovely, comfortable walk. This one is mostly for the sheer enjoyment of Mother Nature at her best.

Quotes

"Nordic Walking is so much fun. I usually hate going walking with my mum. I'm always dragging my feet but today I had so much fun. We went for two hours and it seemed like it was only a half-hour. I want to do this again and again. Jodechi was great as an instructor- I couldn't understand at first how to use the poles but she was very patient with me until I learned what to do and now it feels very natural."
Sophia age 16

"I really enjoyed Nordic Walking. I didn't expect it to be this much fun. I just came because my mum said that I should. It was freezing cold and pouring rain and still it was great fun. AND I just found out that Nordic Walking burns 400 calories in an hour- that's four Cadbury milk bars! Brilliant!"
Roseanna-Age 16

"This is the best exercise that I have ever done and I've tried everything. I know I'm working hard because I've been told that it is a full body workout and I can feel my body really working but because it is so fun, (especially with Jodechi- she's very funny)- it just doesn't feel like I've worked as hard as I have. I've just been for a two-hour lesson in the pouring rain and I want to turn around now and go back out. I love it and I'm buying the poles now so that I can do this every day."
Melinda- mother of four
