Why exercise outdoors?
Physical healthExercise 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.
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.

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!
