Who we are….

True North Nordic Walking and Nordic Walking Nova Scotia are operated by Bill and Esther VanGorder. They offer online instruction on how to properly Nordic Walk. They are a major online distributor of Nordic Walking Poles and supplies for industry-leader Nordixx Pole Walking Canada.

Nordic Pole Walking is a low-impact fitness activity that offers the highest benefits for weight loss, health, and wellness. Nordic Walking Poles enable you to incorporate over 90% of all your body muscles. It’s ‘turbo-powered’ walking, using poles to propel yourself, burning up to 46% more calories than normal walking because you’re working your upper body as well as your legs – but the support from the poles means it actually feels easier.

Bill has a background in health and fitness. He was the CEO of the Lung Association of NS for 15 years; prior to that he was Atlantic Area Director of the YMCA for 12 years. He has been involved in Nordic Walking since 2008. Esther has been an avid Nordic Walker since 2012. She demonstrates the proper form of Nordic Walking in the instructional videos.
