We are thrilled to announce that Park Gyms has recently been recommended by two of the UK’s most respected publications: The Independent and 220 Triathlon.

As we move into 2026, the “cost of living” is still a huge factor in how people train. These articles highlight that you don’t need an expensive monthly contract to get elite-level fitness results—you just need to know where to look.
What they said about us:
- The Independent: In their guide on “How to save on your gym membership,” they recommended us as a key resource for athletes willing to “brave the elements” and find high-quality, free bodyweight equipment in their local area.
- 220 Triathlon: Named us in their “Free ways to improve your health and fitness in 2026” feature, noting our directory as an easy way to find outdoor gym parks across the UK.
Why this matters
Our mission has always been to make fitness accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget. Being recognised by these major outlets helps our resource reach more people who are looking for free workout environments.
