Bristol Nordic Walking

Fantastic experience: Wonderful activity - great teachers.

Fantastic experience: I've just attended a beginners' workshop led by Ros. It was friendly, well-organised, informative and, best of all, great fun. I walked home with a spring in my step.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my Nordic Walking trial on the Downs with Ros this morning. I found it quite hard to get right but I definitely want to persevere as I can see what the benefits would be. I feel quite excited about doing more!

Fantastic experience: The introduction to nordic walking on the Downs was a fantastic experience and highly recommended. My next session is already booked and it feels like a nordic walking kind of year!

Fantastic experience: Joined excellent beginners class run by Ros. Very enjoyable with only 3 of us so we had individualised advice and support. The class was well structured starting with absolute basics and good progression during the hour session, leaving us with an idea of what we could achieve if we continued and with more practice. A fun hour spent on the Downs getting some great exercise

Fantastic experience: Outstanding. Helpful, personal coaching. Well worth it. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: I have been walking with Bristol Nordic Walking for 4 years .. its such a great way to maintain fitness and happiness. I feel more able both physically and mentally than I did before I started. :-)

Fantastic experience: I walk with the Bath Nordic Walking group. The leaders are excellent and the groups are very friendly. There is always a choice of routes. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Bristol Nordic Walking on the Downs. There are walks everyday. Nordic walking is a wonderful full body work out. Great group of walkers too, small groups so you get individual attention from gold star instructors. It doesn't matter if it rains its still great fun and my body gets first class workout. Do come and join us. I've been doing Nordic walking for 18months, I wished I'd joined years before.

Fantastic experience: Ros was excellent at explaining the Nordic walking technic. I'm going to go back and would definitely recommend doing the induction of you are at all curious about Nordic walking.

Fantastic experience: Nicely eased into and not as though being taught. Easy and relaxed but with a positive outcome. Well worth the money and will be calling back to get further training and group walks.

Fantastic experience: I have been looking for a new way of getting fit in the open air. I was invited to try a Nordic Walking Beginners Workshop. To my surprise I found it both challenging and exhilarating. I am told it’s a workout for the whole body and uses 90% of my muscles. What’s more it’s great fun and good company. I am hooked!

Fantastic experience: I should really write 2 reviews: one for the sport of Nordic Walking, which is simply awesome and so good for you, and one for Bristol Nordic Walking who put on amazing walks in great places. Seriously, if you want to get fit without injuring yourself, meet some lovely people and spend lots of time outside, this is the sport for you. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Friendly fun experience with in depth instruction to maximise skills.Really great way to increase fitness whist enjoying the outdoors. It's been brilliant for me. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Nordic walking is an amazing full body workout. It’s easy to learn, (with good instructors), it’s in the fresh air with lovely, interesting people to chat to as you do it, what’s not to like?! Vicky,Ros and their team are wonderful at teaching technique, they’re genuinely supportive of every individual and cater to a range of abilities. Their enthusiasm is contagious. There are always interesting extras on offer from weight loss to trips abroad to longer walks in beautiful countryside. I’ve been walking with them for years and intend to keep doing so for many more. I always enjoy the walks and have learned to enjoy walking in ( almost) all weathers too :)

Fantastic experience: Best way to keep fit in Bristol! It’s social, it’s fun, i’ve met lots of new people and being outside has made me appreciate the changing of the seasons as well as upping my vitamin D levels and keeping fit.

Positive experience: I've been walking with Bristol Nordic Walking for about 4 years now - love it, love the way it makes me feel even on a foul day, instructors constantly vigilant and encouraging and also funny and jolly. The effect on my fitness including general health is noticeable, great stuff. Website/booking system very easy to use. 4 stars (not 5) only because they don't have a sliding fee scale for lower incomes.

Fantastic experience: I took up Nordic walking two years ago ,when I retired, to replace the exercise I had been doing in the gym following a total knee operation. The experience has been tremendous. Nordic walking exercises the whole body especially the core and upper body, but the added benefit is the great friendships I have made and the fun we have. All the instructors are knowledgeable about the effects of the exercises we are doing and make them interesting and varied. I would recommend Nordic walking for everyone Give it a try and I will be surprised if you are not bitten

Fantastic experience: I have not felt this great for a long long time. I love the vibe and the camaraderie every week. I have gained new friends for life and my health has benefited in the process... couldn’t ask for more Bristol Nordic Walking.
