Learn advanced Nordic walking technique in one 1.5-hour session so you can take charge of your fitness and performance.
We ensure breaks to keep you fresh for learning and manage the distances so you can focus on technique rather than worry about fatigue.
You will perfect your classic Nordic walking technique to turn walking, typically a lower body activity, into a full body aerobic experience.
- You will also learn the Nordic walking circuits (supplemental exercises integrated with Nordic walking).
- Afoot Fusion: balance, movement, and mind-body exercises
- Afoot Fierce: cardio, strength, and power exercises
- The clinic will help you in your own fitness journey because you will be able to integrate Nordic walking and the exercises you learned into your personal wellness and fitness disciplines.

Afoot Fusion is on the same day as Afoot Stride (basic Nordic walking clinic) and begin after the Afoot Stride begins. This means you can take both clinics the same day.
At the end of the clinic, you will receive:
- A certificate of completion
- A personal programming guide
- Lesson notes for the clinic with the exercises you learned so you can take control of your wellness and fitness journey (we continually introduce new exercises in future camps, so keep coming back!)
- Announcements about future Nordic walking opportunities
- A small gift to congratulate you on pursuing your Nordic walking journey
