Simply put: “It’s better on poles”. Why? Because you create a Total Body Walking action, activating 90% of the muscles in your body to achieve more optimal gains with less pain/strain and also in less time compared to normal walking, jogging or cycling.

You can participate at a level that suits your own pace and ability whilst achieving more gain with reduced impact of pain & strain. Shelly will use special techniques to cater for all fitness levels.

“Get to the back bus” is one fun way to allow striders to work as hard or easy as they desire. When the whistle blows the front striders turn and stride back behind the last strider. Giving them the determination to push forward and stride to front again and allowing back striders to keep going forward at their own pace without any pressure of trying to Keep up. Most striders wear their own watch and track their own results to achieve individual goals.

We currently have Striders from 16yrs to 70yrs old. We can cater for younger or older. There is a pre-screening form to be filled out and if any injury or medical condition may need a doctors clearance to participate in physical activity.
