Outdoor fitness & weight training outside is enjoying growing popularity in Germany. Everywhere in the cities and communities, new outdoor fitness opportunities and outdoor gyms are emerging. The big advantage in training compared to fitness trails is that the devices are all very centrally located. Various exercises can be completed without long breaks. There are essentially two directions in which these parks are oriented. One direction is an area specializing in bodyweight and own body exercises with options for pull-ups, abdominal exercises or, for example, push-ups. The second variant, also known as an outdoor gym, is the provision of gym-like equipment in a weather-resistant outdoor variant. Here the classic fitness studio exercises are brought outside. Trends such as freeletics, calisthenics or bodyweight exercises will increase the number of such parks in the coming years.

Outdoor fitness parks are the modern version of the fitness trails from the 1970s. In the past, various strength and movement stations ran along a running track in the forest. Over the years, however, these keep-fit courses have been increasingly replaced by systems in which all equipment is in one central location.

Depending on the manufacturer, these systems are given names such as fitness circles or fitness parcours. The systems usually consist of several stations that are divided into strength equipment and movement or mobilization equipment. The target group of these parks are sporty people who would like to keep fit outside.

Stations are often used where the equipment consists of all-weather versions of well-known devices from the fitness studio. The whole thing is often also known under the term outdoor gym or outdoor fitness studio.
