Why We Love the Outdoors – The Real Good Fitness Ethos

Fresh Air, Freedom & Fitness in Nature

At Real Good Fitness, we believe movement and nature go hand in hand. Our outdoor training sessions aren’t just about exercise—they're about connection, community, and feeling great in your body and mind.

So why do we love the outdoors? Here are some of the biggest reasons why training outside is a game-changer.

Fresh Air Fuels Your Body & Mind

Training outside means breathing in fresh, oxygen-rich air, which can boost energy levels and improve overall respiratory health. Unlike the recycled air of gyms, being outdoors stimulates circulation, helping you feel more awake, refreshed, and ready to move.

Being in nature has been shown to lower cortisol levels (stress hormone), helping you feel more relaxed and focused after your workout.

More Movement, Less Monotony

Gyms are repetitive—same machines, same walls, same view. But when you train outdoors, every session feels different.

  • Changing terrain challenges your balance and coordination.

  • Natural sunlight boosts vitamin D, improving bone health and immunity.

  • Open spaces give you room to move freely and train dynamically.

Instead of being confined to a single exercise station, you can run, jump, lift, and move naturally, just as your body designed!

Boosts Mental Wellbeing

Have you ever noticed how a walk in nature can instantly lift your mood? Outdoor workouts offer the same benefits.

  • Sunlight exposure increases serotonin (the "happiness hormone").

  • Natural surroundings help reduce anxiety and mental fatigue.

  • Moving in green spaces has been linked to improved creativity and mental clarity.

After an outdoor session, you’ll feel physically stronger and mentally recharged, too.

A Stronger Connection to the Community

One of the best things about Real Good Fitness is the sense of community we build outside the gym walls.

  • No egos, no intimidation—just support.

  • Training alongside others who motivate you.

  • A fun, welcoming environment where everyone belongs.

Unlike the solitary experience of headphones and treadmills, outdoor training helps you connect with like-minded people, making workouts more enjoyable and sustainable.

Weather-Proof Mentality – Build Grit & Resilience

Rain or shine, we train. And there’s something incredibly empowering about embracing the elements.

  • Hot & sunny? We stay hydrated and adjust intensity.

  • Raining? We see it as refreshing, not restrictive.

  • Cold? We layer up and warm up properly.

Training in all conditions builds mental resilience, helping you push past excuses and stay committed to your goals. Real progress happens when we show up, no matter what.
