Our professional teams need to make sure that our Members are able to enjoy WALX at the right level for them – who wants to feel left out at the back or that they are not getting the results or enjoyment they want from their precious leisure time? Health screening help us make sure we get the level right and keep everybody motivated and safe.

What types of WALX are ideal if I have concerns about my health and fitness?

Our wellness WALX are a mix of gentle walking, stretching, mobility and more so they would be ideal but we do also have some shorter Explorers WALX that might suit – we always make it clear if they are particularly steep or at a faster pace.
