Classes

To get the most out of your Nordic Walking, it is recommended that you participate in a course of instruction.  Following  the guidelines of Fitness NZ,  Nordic Kiwi NZ, supports the concept that a sport, fitness or recreational activity should be taught by Certified Instructors, ideally with a Health, Fitness or related  background.    

 

 

Auckland

There are a number of regular walking groups around the Auckland region.

Please check in with the Walking Group Leader before you attend.  Remember that you will need to have had a course of instruction before attending the walks, as these are not teaching sessions!  Also, if you require replacement asphalt paws or gloves, you will be able to get them from the WGL's.

For walks outside the Auckland region, please contact the local Instructor.
