Gymbox launches outdoor community gym in Northumberland Park

Tottenham’s Northumberland Park is the new home of a vibrant 120m² outdoor gym, thanks to a collaboration between leading gym brand Gymbox and not-for-profit organization Raza Sana, along and funding from Haringey Council. This innovative space is designed to foster community spirit and fitness with six weeks of complimentary personal training and group classes, available to all residents.

The outdoor gym is equipped with top-tier calisthenic apparatus, including monkey bars, dip bars, and pull-up bars, inviting residents to swing, dip, and pull their way to fitness. Catering to all fitness levels, the gym’s variety of classes ensures that everyone, from beginners to calisthenics enthusiasts, can participate and benefit.

The six-week Summer Programme started in July 2024, Gymbox professionals will lead free and accessible exercise classes three times a week, promoting fitness and fun while building a stronger community.

The schedule includes:

Tuesdays: 12pm - 1pm (Over 50s Stretching & Mobility), 6pm - 7pm (Adult Calisthenics)

Thursdays: 4pm - 7pm (Youth Calisthenics)

Saturdays: 12pm - 2pm (Community/Family Basic Exercise)

Raza Sana’s '1st Rep' programme, implemented at the new facility, focuses on helping disadvantaged young people develop personal strategies through fitness and calisthenics.

Gymbox recently launched the 'Gymbox Academy'. This initiative provides participants from the 1st Rep programme with the opportunity to train with Gymbox professionals, gaining experience and qualifications to pursue a career in fitness.

The Northumberland Park outdoor gym is part of a larger vision by Gymbox and Raza Sana to create similar infrastructures across London and the UK. Over the next two years, they aim to open ten more parks, helping disadvantaged young people and communities develop new skills and reach their full potential.

Head on over to Northumberland Park to get fit, have fun, and be part of an inspiring community initiative.
