Who are WALX?
WALX is a walking club with a unique twist. We are passionate about promoting the physical, mental and social benefits of being active outdoors and believe that walking really is the way forward (excuse the pun!) when it comes to enjoyable but effective exercise.
Having all been in the fitness industry longer than we care to admit, we have seen a few fads come and go and we know that nothing beats the combination of natural movement, fresh air and fun! That’s why we decided to use our expertise to create our WALX Groups and Clubs, where professional WALX Masters and Guides are always on hand (or foot) to make every step count and every session enjoyable and unforgettable.
The 4 Types of WALX
We have WALX that suit everyone! We separate them into 4 clear categories to help our members find the ones that suit their mood, what they want to achieve and who they want to enjoy WALX with (including their four legged friend).
Nordic WALX
Being the founders of bringing Nordic Walking from Europe to the UK in 2006, we know a bit about it! Unlike the Europeans, where it is a Sport very focused on technique, we saw it as our “Outdoor Cross Trainer”, that in simple terms, “turns a walk into a workout”. Whatever age, fitness level or goal, Nordic Walking is suitable, effective and enjoyable.
Total Body WALX
Total Body Walking™ is our very own invention to make every step count! It is a unique mix of drills, strength exercises, the use of our very own Total Body WALX poles, designed by our expert team in the UK. Perfect for anyone looking for variety and fitness progression to improve fitness and tone, and to keep the weight off! Members can see and feel the results in just a few weeks!
Explorer WALX
Simply WALX in amazing places with like minded people and often a special view, theme or social aspect too! Think WALX to the pub, Dog WALX or WALX that include History, Geology or stunning locations that are asking to be explored. This is the perfect WALX for anyone that wants to discover new, beautiful areas right on their doorstep, or beyond.
Wellness WALX
Gentle WALX that incorporate balance work, flexibility and strength exercises and maybe a bit of tai chi, Yoga or relaxation too. Great for those who are getting back into exercise, have a health condition or simply want to move well and be fit for life!

WALX has a much wider appeal than just being a Walking Club and the opportunities allow you to work with specific markets in your community.

They know how to inspire enjoyment, results and sociability when it comes to physical activity.
“This is a no-brainer if your dream is to be in business”
From the day I called to make enquiries to the day I passed the Diploma, I had my website up and running with social media support to create the noise to announce I was open for business. I tested the patience and skills of the WALX team who support us in all matters related to training, sales, IT and beyond. I can now get on with what I love (the walking stuff). WALX have the infrastructure and experience which we can piggy back on, such as the marketing suite, website SEO, online booking, business planning and development which allows you to grow without headaches and guesswork. This is a no-brainer if your dream is to be in business, not work on a business.
“The system really works!”
I am amazed at the response to the launch campaign. It has generated lots of good quality customer leads in just a few days. Many have already registered and booked their first sessions. I really didn’t think I would have so many potential customers in such a short space of time. The fact that every one of the people who has joined us for an activity so far has re-booked or purchased goods from me has really boosted my morale and confidence. Going from having no customers, to have loyal customers in a few weeks has made an amazing difference. The system really works!
“Life is changing significantly and positively since having joined WALX”
Life is changing significantly and positively since having joined WALX. The systems, processes, training, and team development possibilities are really coming into their own in allowing us to grow the business and the club membership as well as making running the walks, the team, and the business so much more manageable. The HQ team are always on hand for help and advice. Within the franchise we have our own “family” that collaborate and support each other in sharing experience and expertise to help ourselves and our respective franchises flourish. I am really enjoying this aspect of being part of WALX.
