Happy National Fitness Day
Our Parks is the biggest outdoor group exercise company in London, delivering FREE fitness sessions in local parks across London and UK to over 250,000+ Parkers (users). Founded by Born Barikor in 2014, Our Parks was created to give everyone access to FREE or affordable, high quality group exercise, no matter where you live or your income.
The focus of Our Parks is to activate outdoor spaces and parks, targeting inactive people and those that do less than 30 minutes of exercise per week. Our Parks Live also allows the nation to get fit for free online through live-streamed workouts by qualified coaches.
Our Parks offers a variety of fitness classes with the emphasis on making exercise accessible, using the power of technology and social media to support our mission. Our users are part of a vibrant and supportive community that helps create a healthier lifestyle and are the heart and soul of our business.
Our Parks has expanded to deliver FREE programmes in various regions across England and we are constantly seeking opportunities to provide our service in more parks to enable more people across the country to benefit from our programmes. To discuss the potential for delivering a FREE fitness programme in your local park, please contact anneka@ourparks.org.uk
Coaching has always been at the heart of Our Parks and it is what makes our programmes succeed with our participants. In 2021, Our Parks was the winner of the Transforming Coaching Award at the UK Coaching Awards for its commitment to great coaching and we are constantly growing our coach team and helping to upskill those who are interested in delivering community based physical activity.
