Welcome to the Nordic Walking School, UK. We offer regular Nordic Walking fitness classes in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, Nordic Walking instructor training nationwide, and Nordic Walking holidays abroad.

Since the 1930's Nordic Walking, or "pole walking" has been practiced as a summer training activity by cross-country skiers, and athletes from biathlon and Nordic combination skiing, to maintain and improve strength and endurance.

It then developed into a fitness exercise suitable for everybody, and today it is enjoyed by millions as an activity that trains the cardio-vascular system and gives a whole-body workout.

Today, Nordic walking is an established leisure sport in the Scandinavian countries and throughout Northern Europe - Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and Benelux. Millions have the Nordic Walking bug!

Nordic Walking is a fast-growing sport in the UK. At the Nordic Walking School we have been promoting this activity and training people of all ages and abilities in the correct technique since 2003.
