Get Sport Walking™ with our weekly coached workout walks and Sport Walking sessions.
What is Sport Walking?
Sport Walking is walking strongly with a purpose for fitness, challenge or adventure. It’s not a walking technique, it’s an approach to walking that’s about moving fast and challenging yourself.
Sport Walking is made for trails and the great outdoors but the methods and tactics that might carry a Sport Walker across difficult terrain for long distances are also hugely effective for simply building fitness and that’s what we teach in our Get Sport Walking™ sessions.
Meet your Coach
Our sessions in the New Forest area are hosted by Sport Walk’s founder – Roger Burlinson.
Roger’s an extremely experienced Sport Walker and he personally developed the Sport Walk Method™, so you’ll be learning from the master himself.
Roger’s Sport Walking CV is impressive. He completed the South Downs Way (100 miles) non-stop in under 28 hours and has numerous other challenges to his name but above all else, he’s an expert Sport Walking Coach and can bring the best out of anyone.

Basic Session Info
We offer weekly coached sessions that give both a workout walk and technique development, transforming your capability and building real functional fitness.
Sessions are run outside on trails or in traffic free environments, with both space to practice technique adaptations and a ‘workout loop’ for the Sport Walking itself.
There’s dedicated time to develop and perfect technical aspects, so you’ll always progress, whatever your ability level and space at the beginning and end to ask questions or catch up on your development with your Sport Walk Trainer.
Session times are yet to be confirmed but there will be different options at different times during the week to offer a convenient session for everyone.
The Sport Walk Method™
Central to our Sport Walking sessions is the Sport Walk Method™, which is all about making simple adaptations to the way you already walk normally, making it more effective and more efficient and this truly opens up the potential to build real fitness just by walking.
You’ll learn how to add power to your stride, to propel you along with greater speed at a reduced effort and you’ll understand how to handle hills and descents so neither get the better of you.
The Sport Walk Method™ is your foundation stone and it shapes everything you do when you walk, making you a stronger, faster and more efficient walker. It allows you to carry more speed efficiently so when you do work harder, your additional effort is applied more
If you like walking, you’ll love Sport Walking, so come and join us for a workout walk and discover your true potential!
