Discover a great way to get fitter, stronger and lose weight!

If you can walk, you can Nordic Walk! 

 

Nordic Walking is a welcoming and sociable activity. It’s basically cross-country skiing, using specially adapted poles. These help to propel you forwards and intensify your walking effort. Once you get the hang of the technique, it turns every walk into a full-body workout. It allows you to explore the countryside and keep fit at the same time!

 

I'm a British Nordic Walking accredited instructor, working in Leamington, Warwick, Kenilworth and Coventry, and I offer introductions, skills coaching and organised walks and treks for:

  • Individuals

  • Couples

  • Family and friends bespoke group

  • Turn-up-and-walk-together groups

Testimonials From Clients

“After suffering a knee injury from running I came across Nordic Walking and Mick. He is a fantastic teacher and very knowledgeable – especially for  rehabilitation. He always has a smile and I would recommend to everyone.”

Jo, Coventry
“Mick has helped me in building my leg muscles ahead of surgery. Nordic Walking helps with your posture and gets you out in the fresh air. It’s a great way to keep fit, especially for the over fifties.”

Maggie, Birmingham
"When I had my first lessons with Mick, he was easy to understand and made the
experience fun. I enjoyed every moment of the walks. There’s something exhilarating about exercising in nature that you never experience in a gym."

Julie, Glamorgan
