Outdoor training takes the workout to a park, a beach, a forest trail or the edge of a stadium. Outdoor sessions use bodyweight, resistance bands, kettlebells and the terrain itself, so a single class can combine strength, endurance and mobility work. The trainer picks the spot and the exercises so that the load suits the group.
Training outdoors suits people who do not enjoy an indoor gym or who want fresh air after a working day. Outdoor group training is often sociable, and exercises can be done at several difficulty levels, so a beginner and a more experienced participant can train side by side. Many trainers keep running outdoor sessions through the winter.
Before choosing outdoor training, ask exactly where the sessions are held and whether the spot is easy to reach by public transport. Find out what clothing and footwear are recommended, whether the group size is capped, what happens in rainy weather and whether the trainer also offers one-to-one outdoor sessions.
