The Green Gym is an innovative, socially inclusive alternative to traditional gyms that acts as a vehicle for health. Providing a natural workout outdoors, the Green Gym aims to help to improve participants’ physical activity and mental well-being, while benefiting the local environment. Green Gym is for Everyone! From Teenagers to Adults & Seniors and everyone in-between to encourage a more healthy active living…
As the vision of Laois Sports Partnership is everybody active in County Laois, we welcome the Green Gyms to Laois as it provides more opportunities for people to take part in physical activity and ensures that communi-ties get the benefit of the play and recreation facilities. By producing this 2nd edition of ‘Green Gym User Guide’ we hope that more people will be encouraged to utilise the equipment which is free for everyone to use no matter what age.
