About Julia Kraus

Hello, I qualified as a British Nordic Walking Instructor 3 years ago but have been Nordic Walking for around 7 years now. I have always been an outdoor person and love sharing the joys and benefits of exercising in the fresh air, and seeing how it can transform people’s lives. My classes and walks are on offer to all but I am also heavily involved with the older generation in my community where I am helping those who have had hip/knee replacements and health issues such as Osteoporosis, Parkinson’s, scoliosis and many other age-related problems. I work with our Village Agent who is aware of those who may benefit from Nordic Walking and regularly refers them to me.

But I also love teaching those who are looking for a more physical experience in the form of a good cardio workout. Bath with its many hills and valleys is great for this.

Above all I want my walkers to have fun, enjoy meeting people and challenge themselves to try something new. We often finish with a tea/coffee and a good old chat!

What’s on offer? (What do we or I offer): Free Taster Sessions, Build on Basics sessions, Advanced Technique sessions, Gentle Walks, Fitness Walks, Longer Walks of 2 or 3 hours duration, Refresher sessions.

All of these sessions are in groups of up to 10 people but I also offer 1:1 and 2:1 sessions
