Hello,

If you're a returning valued customer or you're finding us for the first time, welcome! Urban poling is the perfect way to get fit in an easy-to-learn, fun and cost-effective way!

Urban poling provides an effective, economical and enjoyable full body workout. If you enjoy the outdoors, grab your urban poles and head to a park or sidewalk before or after work or on your lunch hour. Fifteen minutes a day, three times a week - it's that simple!

As a health care professional, I created Urban Poling Inc. because I believe walking with poles is the easiest way to get Canadians moving and tackling the skyrocketing rate of physical inactivity. Research backs up the profound health benefits of urban poling.

Choosing the right equipment is extremely important. If quality and performance are important to you, I personally assure you that our urban poles are the #1 in Canada because they are built to the highest standards and are backed by our performance guarantee. Urban Poling offers the only ergonomic strapless handle design and 4 features to prevent rattling and vibration. Research confirms this design is safer than the handles with straps found on similar but generally lower quality equipment.

I welcome you to learn more about the effectiveness of our poles and walking technique. See below to read what Canada's top fitness trainers are saying about Urban Poling!

Sincerely,

Mandy
