Grosvenor Estate Outdoor Gym Launch

Grosvenor Estate Outdoor Gym Launched Successfully

Grosvenor Estate Outdoor Gym launched to encourage physical activity in local area

We pleased to share that the outdoor gym at Grosvenor Estate launched on Saturday 27th July! Thanks to all of you that joined us on the day.

It was exciting to see the positive reaction from people in the local community. Our goal is to make sure physical activity and or the means to exercise and stay active is available to people from all walks of life. Not only does this have a positive impact on health by reducing the risk of developing several diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, it also improves the general quality of life. 

As part of this project an unused playground has now been transformed into a fully functioning outdoor gym, featuring six new pieces of fitness equipment. We had one of our Everyone Active instructors on hand to guide people on how best to use it, alongside the Public Health Team. 

 

If you live locally or just feel like working out somewhere make sure you drop by and check it out: Grosvenor Estate, Between Schomberg and Tothill Houses, SW1P 4BH
