Ditch the gym this spring.
Being healthy is an important aspect of our everyday lives, food and nutrition have received great levels of attention in the past few years encouraging us to work out and participate in fitness training. However, attending a gym regularly can become expensive, so we have researched how you can work out on the cheap this spring - by taking your workout outside.
With longer spring evenings and - hopefully - warmer weather why not try a free outdoor gym? Located in Alexandra Park or Edgware park (nearest to the Harrow campus) or Paddington Recreation Ground in Maida Vale (nearest to the central campuses). Outdoor gyms offer the same weight resistance machines that you will find in a gym, in addition to cross trainers and treadmills but for absolutely free.
Another way to take advantage of the new season is by attending gym classes outdoors, Gorilla Circus trapeze classes are offered in Regent’s Park or Kensington Gardens for £24 for a 2 hour class which seem like a great way to try a new activity, get outside and get fit.
If £24 a class is a bit pricey check out Pilates classes, which are on offer for free in the Brown Hart Gardens Mayfair every Wednesday at 6pm.
However, if none of these options appeal to you, why not put your sneakers on and take advantage of the beautiful green spaces of London? Take a walk, or cycle (£2 hire charge with santander bicycles) through the Rose Garden in Regent’s Park or enjoy the fire from Hyde Park and maybe treat yourself with a boating trip on the Serpentine.
So what are you waiting for? Ditch your hot sweaty gym and get to the park for an alternative workout this spring.
