Exercise enthusiasts can stay fit this winter for free at Trim Park in Maboneng

Maboneng has pioneered a number of exciting new venues in Johannesburg and now the precinct has another offering which will keep community members in shape.

Not often do you see adults taking to kiddies’ jungle gyms to do their daily pull-ups and exercises, however, this new offering is in no way classified as a kiddies’ jungle gym.

Trim Park, located in Maboneng, is an outdoor adult-sized jungle gym where fitness fanatics can get their daily workout done at no cost.

Modelled after the Miami Beach outdoor gyms that have typically been seen in American movies and music videos, Trim Park offers gym bunnies the opportunity to get out of the gym and breathe in the fresh air while ‘shredding’ their muscles and working on their ‘gains’.

Each apparatus has a training guide to assist its users to make optimal use of the equipment and, of course, build that six pack or turn those flappy wings to toned biceps of steel.

Callisthenics is a type of gymnastic exercise that works with one’s own body weight to achieve fitness and body tone – and it can be done at Trim Park. Enthusiasts of this exercise, Rowan van Breda and Bradley Ogilvy are just some of the people to have made use of the outdoor gym to achieve their bodily goals.

“What an amazing introduction and experience it was,” Van Breda said.

Ogilvy told City Buzz that, “It’s such an interesting idea. It really is a cool piece of equipment and there’s so much to do on it.”
