Here are two testimonials that were sent to NWUK about one Instructor who qualified with us earlier this year.

“Within a few weeks of starting Nordic Walking with Ian, I noticed a huge improvement to a shoulder problem I have had for some time. The NW technique with poles has given me a workout for my shoulders without even realising it. Together with the stretches in the ‘warm up’ I have regained almost all range of movement in my ‘bad’ shoulder. More importantly, I have been able to use my shoulder without pain. What a fantastic and enjoyable way to get fit. Thanks Ian.”

“A propos of my gardening the week before last: after just over 4 weeks learning to Nordic Walk coming to you as a just retired tired unfit 76 year old, I was able to dig over my 3 veg plots and dig out my compressed compost heap for use. Thank you for the reinvigorated strength in my core, legs and arms. Sue”
