7 Cool Outdoor Exercise Classes In London

There’s no excuse now the clocks have gone forward. It’s time to get fit, and luckily for Londoners there are endless ways to do it. Sick of plodding along busy pavements trying to get through your morning jog? Join a class, get motivated and get social.

Park Run

Park Run is a weekly 5k race organised in parks all over London. Every Saturday, thousands of runners of all abilities gather together at 9am to complete a 5k. Park Run has been so popular, you can now find classes around the world. Perhaps best of all, this workout is always completely free.

Muddy Plimsolls

If private fitness sounds more appealing than group classes, Muddy Plimsolls is the answer. This mobile personal training company uses the outdoors and your body weight to get you the fittest you’ve ever been.

British Military Fitness

There’s no messing around with British Military Fitness, a hard core, stripped back, outdoors boot camp by ex-army instructors. There’s squats, lunges, burpees and lots of shouting, but if you’re serious about toning up, then it’s tough love that works.

Are you ready for an army style workout?

Zip Fit Club

Designed for people who want a quick blast of exercise on their lunch hour, Zip Fit Club runs High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)-style classes in Hyde Park that are only 30 minutes long. You can also sign up for classes that take place before or after work.

Basefit

Basefit is tough HIIT and boot-camp-style training with a real sense of camaraderie and support. There’s a lot of equipment, and it verges on CrossFit-level intensity at times, but Harper’s Bazaar has called it one of the best outdoor workouts on London ClassPass.
