Outdoor Fitness Classes
I am an Outdoor Fitness Specialist, who most of my life has trained outdoors in the fresh air for my own training or training others.
I teach Outdoor Circuits in Suffolk at Newmarket Leisure Centre and at the Red Lodge Sports Pavilion, which are run by Anglia Community Leisure.
- Are you someone who likes to train outside in all weathers?
- Also want the use of a gym, classes and a pool?
Most Fitness Providers do Inside Training or Outside Training. Anglia Community Leisure does both so you get the best of both worlds! For one membership!
Why pay for Outdoor Fitness Classes when they only have 2-3 classes per week, when you can pay for a gym membership that has 2-3 outdoor classes a week and get the best of both worlds!
Or if you want just to do the Outdoor Circuits, you can pay and play.
For details of membership see Website below.
Membership and Payment is though Anglia Community Leisure and NOT ALPHA FITNESS.
(I only teach for Anglia Community Leisure and I am not responsible for payment and membership)
Type of Class
This is an Outdoor Fitness Class, outside in the rain, shine, and the Snow! Using Military style, sports type fitness workouts and Circuit Training. By using this type of workout you can get to a high standard of fitness and lose weight whilst having a fun, effective and challenging workout.
This is NOT BAD LADS ARMY and NOT A BOOT CAMP!
Most of the classes you will be using body weight and partner exercises, but depending on the aim of the lesson some equipment will used e.g. Vipr, Tyres, Medicine Balls and kettlebells, and of course a little bit of running!
Why This Sort Of Class
- To have a challenging workout with a motivational instructor - every time!
- To lose weight, have fun and feel better about yourself
- To exercise outside in the fresh air
- To meet new people and learn more about yourself
- For an environmentally friendly way of exercising
- Burn up to 640 to 1040 calories per one hour class
Class format
Our classes will take place outdoors on the sports field in all weathers. Each class lasts for an hour, and will cater for all ability levels. The Instructor will ensure that no one is made to feel left out. They will motivate and encourage you, but above all make the hour fun. And to get the best out of people! And the classes will be different and challenging every time.
Each class is divided into ability groups and starts with a warm up. A full 50 minutes of effective and varied fitness training, broken up only by a water break, follow this.
Suitable for all levels of fitness
Class is for all abilities, Beginners to Advance. When you turn up to each session you will be split into different ability groups depending on fitness levels, but you will be trained as one group it is so you can work at your own level and work your way up the groups.
Advice to the members
Advice will be given to the members on what to wear depending on the weather. As it is said if it is not raining it’s not training! Skin is waterproof & clothing can go in the washing machine!
Advice in what to wear in the winter months
Recommending the following:
- Trail running shoes or off road trainers
- Layered sports tops (made of high wicking materials) (e.g. Helly Hansen/Under Armour, etc)
- Long running leggings or Lycra shorts and running shorts
- Beanie hat (That can come of once warmed up and put back on in the cool down)
- Waterproof gloves (seal mitz), wool gloves (once wet they still keep your hands warm) or gardening gloves with the plastic palms
- Thin running jacket or thin fleece
- Waterproof dry sacks to put clothes in after the lesson before getting in your car
- Muesli or protein bars and water for after the lesson
- For any advice on the best place to get the kit, ask myself the instructor who will be taking the class.

If you can please put bags and valuables in a locker, e.g. keys, mobiles, watches, jewellery, for health & safety of the lesson.
