Fitness
There are a huge number of ways to stay fit in the parks. The groups listed below are among those running organised fitness sessions in our parks. You can also visit the Walking and Running pages in this section or download a walking trail or activity sheet from the resources section of this site.
Everyday Activity Project
The Everyday Activity Project is about incorporating physical activity into your everyday life. It’s currently recommended that adults should be completing 30 minutes or at least three bouts of 10 minutes of moderate exercise five or more times a week in order to stay healthy.
To discover how you can improve your health through every day activities or to join an organised group event visit the Everyday Activity site or contact Kirsty Heath (Everyday Activity Coordinator) on 07932453759 or at kirsty.heath@milton-keynes.gov.uk.
And take a look at the events calendar for a wide range of other outdoor activities you can join.
Boot Camp
Boot Camp is a fitness and training class based in Campbell Park and is available for everybody whatever their level of fitness. The classes are run by independent personal trainers Simon A Williams and Lou Atkinson. Boot camp was started as a way to give people the choice of doing something different to the normal gym/aerobic class regime and create an enjoyable atmosphere while exercising.
No Boot Camp is ever the same so you never know what is coming; session after session or week after week. You’ll meet new people and whatever your ability - whether you can do one or 100 press ups - there will be someone else there like you!
A block of five Boot Camps costs £20 and you will have an experienced, professional and dedicated personal trainer as the Drill Instructor to help, guide and advise you. If you are still not sure then why not book a single session for £5 then come along for a taster of what we do.
Boot Camp currently runs three times a week:
- Tuesday – 6.30pm
- Thursday – 6.30pm
- Saturday – 10:00 am
