Summer Fitness in the Great Outdoors

Anna Langridge from 1FitLife provides an overview of the different types of outdoor activities available throughout Dorset.

Dorset residents are some of the luckiest in the country with regards to beautiful open spaces, access to the forest and stunning sandy beaches.  More and more people are realising the benefits of exercising outdoors and many more opportunities have arisen to join clubs and outdoor training companies.

Below is a snapshot of some of the different types of fitness that is available:

Southbourne Beach Yoga.  These classes run on the beach and are great for your body and soul.  There are many classes during the week to choose from.

Bournemouth & Poole Fun Fit for Life Meetup – The purpose of this Meetup is to connect with those people who prefer to exercise outdoors and make friends with like-minded people. They have a community of healthy active members with a sense of fun and welcome everybody, no matter their fitness level.

Parley Farm Outdoor Fitness – This was created to offer a refreshing, functional style of fitness.  They have 9 ‘fit club’ sessions a week, individual options or 1 to 1 personal training with both male and female instructors.

East Dorset Ramblers Group – There are 7 ramblers groups in Dorset.  They put on several walks a week of various lengths between 5 and 20 miles in addition to a number of social events.

Dorset Adventure Park is the ideal place for those who are big kids or those who like to exercise with their kids! The wet and wild Amusement Park features an outdoor Water Park, a fun challenging Mud Trail and a multi obstacle assault course suitable for both Adults and Children.
