Nordic Body® Walk Classes
Turn your daily walk into a full-body workout - burn up to 46% more calories, build real strength, and rediscover how good walking can feel — all in one class, with poles doing the extra work for you.
Nordic Body® Walk Benefits
It's still just walking — but every step now works your whole body, not just your legs.
Here's what changes:
Burn More Calories
Burns 20-46% more calories than regular walking!
Full Body Strength
The poles turn your arms, chest, back, and core into part of the workout — not just your legs.
Easy on Your Joints
Poles take pressure off your ankles, knees, and hips, so you move more and ache less.
Better Posture, Better Balance
Stand taller, move more confidently, and feel steadier on your feet in everyday life.
Real Connections
Walk alongside a small group of women who get it — outdoors, in the sun, building friendships one class at a time.
Time Outside that Recharges You
No treadmill, no gym walls. Just fresh air, a beautiful park, and a reason to look forward to Tuesdays.
Increase your speed, burn more calories and avoid injuries
"From afar, Nordic Walking looks pretty intuitive, but you’d be surprised at how refining your technique really helps you realize the most benefit out of it. Malin talks you through all the finer points of finessing your technique to increase your speed, burn more calories and avoid injury."
Jody Gittleman, Graphic Artist
"New way of exercising that gets me outside!"
"Great way to spend time with your partner and live long together."
"I burn more calories and increase my muscle strength."
"A great full body workout!"
"Feeling great and my hip is not sore."
"I feel strong and powerful!"
Stomach fat decreased, posture improved, and
core strength increased
"Malin’s personalized instruction and attention to my walking form has been invaluable and something I could not have achieved on my own. I notice my stomach fat disappearing and my posture improving as I feel my core muscles strengthening, all after my first week of Nordic walking."
Barbara Powers, Writer
Nordic Body® Walk Classes in Playa Vista, CA
Malin Svensson is the Nordic Walking Guru in North America — and Nordic Body® Walk is her own branded approach, refined over 20+ years. She teaches it in Playa Vista just once a year, in small groups of 20 or fewer. This is a rare chance to learn from her in person.
How It Works
Your First Class, Made Simple
You don't need experience. You don't need poles. You just need to show up.
- Watch a short video first (Level 1) (included free when you register) — a quick primer on walking mechanics you'll use the whole time.
- Your first in-person class (Level 2, 30 min) — Malin gets you comfortable with the poles and your technique, one-on-one attention included.
- From there, join our themed workout classes (Level 3, 60 min) — a different focus every week (hills, core, arms, balance), so it never gets boring.
