Shape up and keep fit with the Ekurhuleni outdoor gyms
The challenges of affordability, accessibility and subscription to well-known chain gymnasiums are a distant thought for many people in Ekurhuleni.
In continuing efforts to encourage its citizens to keep fit and live healthier lifestyles, the metro is installing outdoor gym equipment in parks across Ekurhuleni.
Assembled together in the middle of a park, the equipment could easily be mistaken for playground equipment as it is colourful and attractive.
The immovable machines are designed to withstand the outdoor weather conditions and minor wear and tear.
Since 2012, the metro has installed the “eco-gyms” in recreational parks such as the Dayanglen Park in Boksburg, Germiston Lake Park, Winnie Mandela Park in Tembisa, Sindane Park in Tsakane, Zonkizizwe Park in Katlehong and Mamkele Street Park in Wattville.
During his State of the City Address in March this year, mayor clr Mondli Gungubele extended a call to citizens of Ekurhuleni to lead healthy lifestyles.
