Our recipe for success: maximum calorie burn, maximum fun
The idea: OutdoorCircuit
The OutdoorCircuit movement is more than a workout or an outdoor bootcamp – it's an experience. Circuit training and fitness trails have a long and successful tradition in Europe, and training in the great outdoors is currently enjoying a real renaissance in many countries.
Since 2006, our OutdoorCircuit has been getting people, teams and companies moving, training and inspired in the fresh air.
In 2010 the family grew, and we gained great colleagues and friends who share our spirit and philosophy of training and movement. Today, sports enthusiasts, beginners and returners can experience, feel and fall in love with the OutdoorCircuit with our coaches in more than 15 cities in Germany and Austria!
The training
OutdoorCircuit® is classic, varied circuit training with functional exercises and the latest equipment. We train endurance, strength, coordination, speed and agility in one programme. Alongside mobility and flexibility, we work specifically on improving stability. The human body thrives on movement, and we see movement as the bio-software that guides and carries us through life every day.
We're a team of experienced, highly qualified trainers and coaches. We know that effective training isn't about spending countless hours on machines at the gym. That's why in 2006 we developed the "OutdoorCircuit®" group training concept, to make professional functional circuit training accessible to everyone. Our circuit programme is regularly developed further, individualised and highly versatile.
It's based on the latest sports-science training methods and includes the best elements of functional training and functional movement. Our OutdoorCircuit® suits every fitness level. Athletes and beginners train side by side – having fun and pushing each other to their limits.
Why outdoor training?
Some people swear by the treadmill. Others can hardly wait for warm weather and the chance to train outdoors. And if you think it just comes down to personal preference, one study suggests that outdoor training offers significantly more benefits than the usual trip to the gym.
A study of almost 2,000 active participants in the 2008 Scottish Health Survey found that physical activity outdoors has a 50 per cent greater positive effect on mental health than the gym. Researchers at the University of Glasgow found that walking, running, cycling and other outdoor activities in nature reduce stress levels.
This wasn't the first study to suggest that outdoor training promotes mental health. Lead researcher Dr Richard Mitchell was particularly surprised by how much better training in green spaces was than training indoors.
A 2011 study found that, compared with indoor activities, outdoor training can be linked to reduced tension, confusion, anger and depression. Another study from 2010 states that just five minutes of exercise in a green environment can improve mood and self-esteem.
Functional circuit training
Getting started is free and possible at any time.
OutdoorCircuit® is modern, functional circuit training in the great outdoors. It combines the latest scientific findings with current training methods and equipment. This form of training was developed, tested and proven by sports scientists and PE teachers at TU Munich.
We also offer partnerships. If you run a gym, play in a club or want to experience unusual training sessions with friends or colleagues at work, we'll gladly make you an offer and come to you.
Choose your level!
Beginner
Our beginner class is designed for OutdoorCircuit® newcomers. Beginners learn which exercises we use and how to do them correctly, and build the foundations for our all-levels and advanced classes. Quality over quantity.
All levels
Our all-levels class is designed for beginners and advanced participants alike. Beginners learn which exercises we use and how to do them correctly; advanced participants can improve their technique. In the all-levels class we dose the exercises individually so they're right and efficient for you – whatever your current fitness level.
Running circuit
Our running circuit is designed so everyone can join in. We run at a pace everyone can keep up with. After a short run we do a circuit – alternating between running and circuit stations so we always stay on the move. The coach carries a small backpack for your valuables. If it rains, please bring rain gear. Even in rain we train.
