There are various packages available for starting a WEWALK walking group. Navigate to the “Payments and Structures” section to learn more about the available packages we have for launching a walking group.

Charging members for your walking group is up to you. Some people choose not to charge people at all and to host a free walking group open to all members. Others decide not to charge people for the first few months until they grow a strong following and then to begin charging per training. Still, other trainers launch a walking group as their main or supplemental source of income and charge members from the beginning. Whether you choose to host a walking group for money or not, is up to you! 

To determine how much to charge for your walking training services, we recommend you research the relevant market in your local area. Search how much gyms, yoga studios and personal fitness trainers are charging for their services. You can always change your fees and introduce discounts and promotions to incentivize new members. Once you sign up, you will have the support of a WEWALK professional to help you decide the cost structure that works best for you. 

There is no one type of WEWALK walking trainer. Each walking trainer decides the style and details of their own group –  when to meet, where to meet and how often to train. Walking trainers enjoy the freedom of choosing walking styles that are exciting to them, whether power walking, stroller strolls or nordic walking. What bonds all  WEWALK walking trainers is their shared love for walking and their passion helping others reach their fitness goals. 

Once you sign up to be a WEWALK walking trainer, you can choose the where & when of your own group. The timing, frequency and location of your walking trainings is up to your discretion: chose the time and place that works best for you!

Some WEWALK walking trainers launch a group with one approach, such as sunrise walks, and adjust overtime to lunchtime strolls based on what worked best for their group members. The timing and location are flexible and allow you to be creative with your own group. A WEWALK professional will be available to support you the decision making process and help you choose a format that works best for you.  

Once you create your WEWALK walking group, you will be given all of the tools you need to attract new members to your group. The WEWALK Group Leader Course is designed to train you in all aspects of member acquisition, including social media marketing, community leadership, client management, partnership and sales processes. Combined, this knowledge will ensure the successful launch and management of your walking group. A WEWALK professional will be on stand-by to consult with you every step of the way. 

The first step is to start the group. Quickly, you will be surprised at how many people want to join and love walking as much as you do!

As the saying goes, “If you build it, they will come.” 😉 

No, the number of people you want to have in your WEWALK walking group is up to you. Some people create large walking groups while other walking trainers prefer a more intimate setting. Whatever you prefer is up to you.

We find that it is best to start with a smaller number to practice and feel comfortable with the training experience. Once you are confident on your feet, you can gradually expand your group to include more sessions and people.
