Gyms in Parks Program

Learn about and register for our popular and free fitness program.

People are exercising in a park, utilizing outdoor gym equipment amidst greenery and trees.

Gyms in Parks is our free 7-week exercise program where qualified fitness instructors guide you through exercises using our local park's outdoor fitness equipment!

Every term we pick two local parks with outdoor gym equipment to run a Gyms in Parks program. Participants receive fitness assessments at the beginning and end of the program, and a free goodie bag!

Gyms in Parks participants are likely to...

  • Improve in short-term health indicators (like our walk test)
  • Experience overall health improvements
  • Increase in social connectedness
  • Feel more motivated to exercise
  • Feel more confident using the outdoor gyms
