Do you want a place to have a fun outdoor workout regularly? Are gym memberships too expensive for you? We want to help you get outdoors and looked at some places in each city to give you some ideas. We are all aware of bike paths, running paths, and climbing up mountains, however, believe it or not, some parks have fitness equipment. You probably don’t connect playgrounds with fitness equipment, but the association is more common than you think. These outdoor fitness playgrounds are known as Trekfits in Canada. In America, Outdoor Fitness Inc. is the chief provider of outdoor fitness equipment.
