Why Use WALX Poles for Fitness?
WALX Fitness Poles turn an ordinary walk into a powerful, low-impact Total Body Walking™ workout. Designed to engage your whole body with every step, they activate your arms, shoulders, back, and core — helping you walk taller, move better, and burn more calories than walking alone.
Whether you’re new to pole walking or transitioning from Nordic Walking, WALX Poles offer a smarter, more inclusive way to walk for fitness. They’re ideal for anyone who wants to tone up, improve posture, boost heart health, or lose weight — all while walking outdoors.
What is Total Body Walking™?
Total Body Walking™ is the next evolution of Nordic Walking — developed by experts to be more accessible, more comfortable, and more effective for today’s fitness walkers. It uses our patented strapless WALX Ergo Grip to promote natural hand movement and eliminate the discomfort or risk of injury caused by wrist straps should a user trip or fall.
Instead of relying on fixed Nordic techniques or restrictive equipment, Total Body Walking™ encourages a freer, more adaptable motion that suits all ages and abilities — with real, measurable fitness benefits.

More Than Just Walking
WALX Poles don’t just help you walk — they help you train. You can incorporate strength, balance, and flexibility exercises into any walk using your poles, turning every outing into a complete outdoor fitness session.
Whether you’re walking the dog, heading out on a brisk pavement walk, or joining a local WALX group, our poles make your movement more purposeful and your results more visible.
Strapless by Design — Smarter by Nature
Unlike traditional Nordic Walking poles, WALX Poles feature our WALX Ergo Grip, a contoured handle angled to match the natural position of your hand. There’s no need for wrist straps, no “push-back” technique to learn — just intuitive, comfortable walking that supports your body and boosts your fitness.
