Variation from your regular workouts
Our members say they love the variation between using the regular gym and the outdoor Fitness Yard, as exercising outdoors ensures they don’t become complacent or bored with their exercise routine. Taking an exercise class outside with views of the surrounding Horsham countryside might be just what you need to start enjoying working out again.
Enjoy nature as you workout
Outdoor spaces are far more visually appealing and stimulating than working out indoors. This can help to motivate you to work even harder and enjoy your workout even more.
