Become a Certified Urban Poling Instructor

Want to fit 1,000 abdominal contractions in during lunch without a sweat? And burn 46% more calories than from just walking? …all while hanging out with a work colleague! Sign up to become a certified Urban Poling Instructor.

All summer, we have been leading demonstrations at hospitals across Metro Vancouver. And requests from more sites keep coming in – too many requests than we can handle. So, rather than decline these invitations, we invite you to take on the skills and the fitness to become an instructor!

Sign up with a friend and become Instructors together!

In co-operation with the team at Urban Poling, we are offering free on-line Certified Urban Poling Instructor training (CEC approved by 9 fitness and health association) to 20 hospital staff who will agree to lead at least six sessions after their training.

So, if you are looking to add a new skill to your social life or to your résumé, here’s a chance for free training and credentials. Bring this toning, calorie-burning and highly beneficial full-body workout to your colleagues, neighbours, family and friends.

The practical and comprehensive 2.5 hour certification course teaches everything you need to know about Urban Poling techniques. We give you all the materials, tools and support you need and you set your schedule. When complete, you can effectively lead your six Urban Poling sessions.

Loaner poles are available from the VGH Commuter Centre.

This offer is available during Walktober – so email Arthur at arthur.orsini@vch.ca and let’s get moving!
