Outdoor Team Fitness Programmes Built on Proven Principles
Research shows outdoor group fitness achieves 70-80% participation rates - significantly higher than traditional gym memberships (which see 15-20% uptake).
Our programmes combine these evidence-based methods with genuine inclusivity. Rather than hoping for results, we'll track participation monthly and continuously optimise for your team's engagement.
Fitness Programmes That Your Entire Team Can Use
Most corporate fitness benefits fail to engage employees.
Gym memberships go unused. Fitness apps get deleted within weeks. Traditional programmes exclude team members who don't see themselves as "fitness people."
We deliver outdoor team fitness sessions designed for real teams with diverse fitness levels, busy schedules and varied interests.
What makes our programmes different:
✓ Inclusive by design – From beginners to fitness enthusiasts, everyone participates together
✓ Social and team-based – Outdoor group activities that build genuine connections across departments
✓ Convenient and efficient – 45-minute sessions at your location (before work/lunchtime/after work)
✓ No intimidation factor – Supportive environment where people progress at their own pace
✓ Proven effective – Structured programmes that deliver measurable improvements in energy, focus, and team cohesion
Our approach combines progressive outdoor weighted resistance using weighted vests/weighted rucksacks and functional strength training using sandbags and bodyweight exercises.
Think team workouts with purpose - building physical fitness, mental resilience and authentic connection across your organisation.
Complementary Training Methods
-
Outdoor strength sessions using sandbags, bodyweight exercises and team-based challenges. Every movement is scalable to individual ability.
This method:
- Builds practical, real-world strength
- Improves coordination, balance and core stability
- Adaptable for all fitness levels (we modify every exercise)
- Fun and engaging through team challenges
- No gym intimidation - everyone's outside together
Format: Varied workouts with carries, lifts, squats and partner exercises.
Modifications provided for every single movement.
-
Structured weighted resistance training that builds cardiovascular fitness and mental resilience. Participants can carry weight (by wearing weighted vests or weighted rucksacks) as they progress, but it's entirely optional.
This method:
- Works for complete beginners through to those experienced with resistance training
- Improves endurance, bone density and posture
- Reduces stress and improves mental clarity
- Creates natural conversation and team bonding
- Can be done in any weather with proper clothing
Format: 2-4 mile walk/jog at conversational pace, with options to increase challenge over time through distance, terrain or weight carried.
-
Most companies alternate between weighted resistance and strength training for balanced fitness development and variety:
Example schedule:
- Monday: Progressive weighted walk/jog (endurance focus)
- Thursday: Sandbag training (strength focus)
Or customise based on your team's preferences and goals.
