Poles are provided at our clinics for you to try or you can bring your own.
Cost to attend one of our scheduled public seasonal clinics is $20 per person. Capacity per clinic is 15 people.
Should you decide to also join one of our Nordic WalkFit classes and programs, the cost of attending the clinic will be included with your class registration (thus making the clinic cost free).
