Company Name:
NordixBlast / Shrewsbury Nordic Walking
I am a British Nordic Walking Instructor for INWA (the International Nordic Walking Federation). I am also qualified as a YMCA Level 3 Personal Trainer and a STOTT Pilates Instructor.
I have a background in both education and sport and have been passionate about health and fitness throughout my life. I spent many years competing in long distance running and triathlon events, however over recent years I have experienced several running injuries. I was keen to find another activity as an alternative to running which would enable me to stay fit. I was introduced to Nordic Walking by a friend and immediately loved it. Although able to offer an excellent aerobic workout, it is gentle on my joints and therefore means I can exercise injury free.
My aim is to help others to achieve their personal health and fitness goals in a fun and social environment in the wonderful Shropshire countryside. I am currently working with Age UK to deliver ‘Learn to Nordic walk’ workshops to ensure you learn the correct technique. I also run regular Nordic walk sessions in the Shrewsbury area.
