Learn From The Experts
ANWA’s mission is to professionally train and educate individuals through our Training Academy in Los Angeles and our certified Instructor Network across the United States. We believe Nordic Walking should be learned properly, as technique is essential for achieving the full health and fitness benefits.
Many beginners assume they can simply join a walking group without learning the fundamentals. This often leads to frustration, wasted time, and unnecessary expense. ANWA provides expert instruction along with safe, high-quality equipment at an affordable price range of $100–$200.
Nordic Walking Is Our Passion & Specialty
We are committed to helping you achieve the best possible results through professional guidance, proper equipment, and proven training methods.
The Two Essentials of Nordic Walking
1. Proper Equipment
You need true Nordic Walking poles—trekking or hiking poles are not suitable. ANWA can help you choose the right poles from leading manufacturers, with preferred pricing for members and instructors.
2. Proper Technique
Learning correct technique is critical. Using the poles properly improves posture, efficiency, cardiovascular benefits, and total-body activation. Teaching this technique is ANWA’s core mission.
Best Way to Get Started
We recommend beginning with our Starter Package, which includes:
- High-quality Nordic Walking poles
- ANWA Instructional Video (USB)
- 1-hour training program in 16 chapters

This allows you to start practicing correctly right away and prepares you for future training, workshops, or certifications.
