Outdoor Gym

If an al fresco walk or a jog around the local park doesn’t quite fill you with excitement, then our new bootcamps full of new equipment will! New facilities, new classes, new moves and exciting new ideas, all in the open air.
Why exercise outdoors?
Physical health
Exercise outdoors is invigorating. There is no better way than to train outside in the warmth of the summer sun.
According to the NHS, training outdoors burns more calories than indoor exercise by up to 20 percent!
Sunlight helps your body produce vital Vitamin D, which helps to maintain bone strength, retain calcium and of course, it makes your skin look radiant and glowing!
Trying new exercises like working out with the gym tyre is a way to break the monotony of your usual gym routine and increase the variety of your workouts.
Mental health
Sunlight is a natural anti-depressant and in the wintertime it’s an antidote to the winter blues. It can help to ward off anxiety and boosts mood-enhancing hormones.
Outdoor exercise, especially in the stunning grounds of our Weybridge location, has a feeling of being at one with nature.
And unlike solo cycling or jogging, the outdoor gym provides increased chances to meet new people and make friends.
Safety
Our first priority is to keep our members safe. Exercising outdoors can be a safer option that being inside in the gym.
In the current climate we are following the latest guidance on social distancing in classes and making the classes safe as possible being outside with fresh air.
The outdoor gym equipment
The outdoor area has 2 functional outdoor rigs with squat racks, punch bag and monkey bars as well as a whole range of full body exercises adaptable for all levels that our personal trainers can show you through.
We have cardio equipment to suit all needs including rowers, assault bikes, outdoor treadmill and SkiErg.
We have free weights ranging from 1-40kg dumbbells and Olympic bars with bumper plates suitable for all ranges of fitness.
Some of our newest additions to the outdoor area are Technogym resistance machines including chest press, shoulder press and much more with more exciting pieces coming soon.
Outdoor personal training
Within Government guidelines we are now able to offer PT exercise outside, on a 1-2-1 pre-booked appointment basis. We have created a dedicated outdoor exercise area; with all the essential equipment you will need for a quality session with one of our Personal Trainers.
We are also excited to introduce our bespoke outdoor fitness classes in the outdoor area. If an al fresco walk or a jog around the local park doesn’t quite fill you with excitement, then our new bootcamps full of new equipment will! New facilities, new classes, new moves and exciting new ideas, all in the open air.

Tips for exercising outdoors
• As with any form of exercise, it’s wise to consult a doctor before beginning.
• Sun protection: even in overcast weather it’s possible for UV rays to causing burning. If in doubt, always wear sun protection of at least factor 30 and reapply it regularly throughout your session.
• Don’t overdo it. Always stop immediately if you feel any pain or if you feel unwell. Seek assistance from a member of staff if you start to feel unwell.
• Sip water. Keep your body hydrated. Drink as you feel thirsty. Don’t overdrink, just keep sipping water regularly.
• Wear good quality, supportive training or running shoes. It’s always worth talking to one of our personal trainers about the best shoes and clothing for your style of exercise.
• If in doubt, ask!
