Caroline Case –
Walking with Nordic 4 was incredibly helpful and supportive after an arthritis flare up. I would heartily recommend it for the thoughtful care and attention to participants that was given as well as the fun and informative walks and company of the walkers.
Caroline Simpson –
Come Nordic Walking with Katie and her team has enabled me to learn a new form of exercise when fibromyalgia has restricted so many others for me.
Katie is so professional and knowledgeable, and her team of instructors are all trained in the same way. The Nordic Walking is such fun and I always feel supported and encouraged to walk at my own pace, whilst improving my technique. Each walk incorporates different stretching exercises and warm downs.
They are very understanding and treat you as an individual.
Each walk is carefully planned in advance and utilises lots of the different beautiful parkland Bristol has to offer. It is a great way to meet different people and enjoy some fresh air.
Mike Schofield –
Walking with Nordic 4 has been an absolute pleasure. Instruction and training methods are clear, concise and
enjoyable and the walks themselves are made all the more interesting by the research that Katie carries out in advance; be it detail on the flora and fauna, the history and geography of the area, or interesting facts about the places en route. Also included as part of the walking are various fitness exercises covering balance, core strengthening, flexibility and muscle toning, all at a comfortably paced level. All in all an excellent way to enjoy exercise in the company of like-minded people.
