Free Outdoor Exercise Classes at East Village

The former Athletes' village, East Village, has partnered with outdoor exercise initiative Our Parks, to create a series of free, al fresco fitness classes. Launched on the 30th of June, Our Parks will rally residents, workers and locals at East Village to get active within the heart of the Olympic grounds.

Set within 27 hectares of space, the outdoor group exercise classes will offer a fun and accessible alternative to expensive gym memberships and personal trainers, with something for all ability levels and ages. Classes include Hula Hoop Fitness, Skip Fit and even Buggyfit for new mums. The timetable will also be include an 'Athlefit' class, inspired by the training practices of great British olympians such as Jessica Ennis and Bradley Wiggins. The class will offer a full warm up, followed by high intensity plyometric and sprint training, before rounding off with a low intensity cool down and static stretching.

Although priority will be given to East Village residents, other locals are also encouraged to get involved and get active.
