Outdoor fitness equipment is provided by Mid Sussex District Council in many of the parks around Mid Sussex and gives local people the opportunity to stay fit and active without spending a penny on membership fees. However, just like a real gym, people get more out of the equipment if a qualified instructor is on hand to provide advice and support.
The Mid Sussex Wellbeing Team is giving local people the chance to book a personalised induction session with a fitness expert. Not only will residents have the chance to learn how to use the open air fitness equipment but instructors can help to develop a fitness plan that is tailored to suit each individual.
Mid Sussex outdoor gyms boast a range of fitness equipment including, treadmills, chest press and lat pull down machines, parallel bars, street fitness bikes and balance discs for Tai Chi. Each piece of equipment is low impact and resistance based so it is safe for people of all ages who are looking to boost their health and fitness.
The induction sessions are available at all eight outdoor fitness equipment areas in Mid Sussex. Local people can try an open air workout at:
Balcombe Recreation Ground, Balcombe
Fairfield Recreation Ground, Burgess Hill
St John?s Park, Burgess Hill
Holland Way, East Grinstead
London Road, Hassocks
Victoria Park, Haywards Heath
Barn Cottage, Haywards Heath
Reeds Lane, Sayers Common
?Our outdoor gyms are located right in the heart of our local communities so that everyone has the opportunity to take regular exercise in the fresh air,? said Councillor Christopher Snowling, Cabinet Member for Health and Community. ?However, anyone who is unfamiliar with gym equipment may find these outdoor fitness areas a bit daunting so we want to show everyone just how easy they are to use.
?Fitness experts are able to travel to your nearest outdoor gym so the inductions will take place at a park close to you. Sessions only take around half an hour and afterwards you will know how to take full advantage of the free exercise equipment that?s right on your doorstep.?
The Mid Sussex Wellbeing Team is available to provide local residents with support and advice on all health and wellbeing issues, including taking more exercise, eating healthily, losing weight, cutting down on drinking, quitting smoking and managing stress. You can contact them by telephone on 01444 477191, by email at wellbeing@midsussex.gov.uk or find information online at www.midsussexwellbeing.org.uk.
To book a free induction contact Physical Activity Co-ordinator Kamella Clough by calling 01444 477048 or email Kamella.Clough@midsussex.gov.uk.
