COVID-19 UPDATE (as of August, 2023)

At WoW Power Walking we encourage you to follow the recommendations of public health officials in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19, and its newest strains. Since March 1 2022, Ontario has seen big shifts in public health mandates with virtually all restrictions lifted. By all accounts we will now be living with an endemic COVID-19 virus. The BA.4 and BA.5 variants of Omicron have disrupted life through the summer of 2022. Coach Lee is fully vaccinated (+ 2 boosters). While a certificate of vaccination has never been required for outdoor exercise classes, we encourage vaccination if you have no health reason to avoid it. We must continue to protect our healthcare and other frontline workers, fellow Canadians and citizens of planet earth.

Do not come to class if you are feeling unwell, whether you are vaccinated or unvaccinated. 

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge that the land upon which we walk is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.

Yoga classes with Lee are wonderful – a beginner feels welcome, learns, and is motivated to keep going. Meanwhile, yoga experts are encouraged and led to even stronger yoga practice. Highly recommended.
Nancy R. Oakville

Lee is the walking coach’s coach. She has created a thorough curriculum that breaks down the walking pattern into four basic progressions, each presented with helpful cues and takeaways. Not only will you be a better walking coach at the end of the eight week course, you will be a stronger walking athlete yourself.
Katie D., Austin, TX

Lee’s coaching makes all the difference for power walkers at all levels. Her proven methods of interval training and hill work, combined with her positive attitude and decades of experience, will prepare you for any race. Her great advice to “trust the training” carried me through a recent marathon.  Above all, her classes are fun, friendly and inclusive.

Lee has transformed us from casual Sunday walkers to avid power walkers and participants in many organized races. Her knowledge and enthusiasm have enabled us to enjoy and appreciate the love of walking as a fitness tool and sport. She encourages walkers of all levels to strive to achieve their potential and structures her training sessions to accommodate each individual.
