Identify a suitable space in your local community for parkHIIT. Who owns the park? Most likely it will be a local authority (i.e. Dublin City Council).

You will need to engage with the local authority to ensure outdoor group exercise is allowed at your intended location and find out the process for obtaining approval to run parkHIIT.

We can help you with this conversation.

The Location Director takes overall responsibility for their location and can be considered the chairperson of the local community team. You shouldn’t have to do this alone. parkHIIT is a community, a team together with one purpose. While each location can have a Location Director, no one person ‘owns’ a particular location and one person is not sufficient to run parkHIIT consistently at a given location. You will need to bring a group of passionate people together in your local community to help you run parkHIIT consistently every week in your chosen location (see the next step).

How long are you prepared to commit to being a parkHIIT Location Director? If the answer to that question is at least 12 months, great – lets work together to build something!

Why Volunteer as a parkHIIT Location Director?

This is your chance to give back to your local community. You can make an incredible difference and change the lives of people living in your local area. You can build lasting relationships, develop new skills and grow your self-confidence. Regardless of your motivation, we can guarantee that volunteering with parkHIIT will be an incredibly rewarding experience, one that you will not regret.

Potrzebujemy grupy osób takich jak Ty, które zgłoszą się na ochotnika, aby wprowadzić parkHIIT do swojej społeczności i pomóc w budowaniu pozytywnych wyników i postaw w zakresie zdrowia i dobrego samopoczucia dla wszystkich. 

Możesz zatrudnić osoby, które pomogą Ci w wykonywaniu ogólnych zadań, ale na początku co najmniej jeden członek Twojego nowego zespołu powinien być wykwalifikowanym specjalistą fitness (najlepiej byłoby mieć dwóch instruktorów, zanim zaczniesz). Każdy instruktor musi posiadać minimum EQF3 i aktualne ubezpieczenie od odpowiedzialności cywilnej.

Czego oczekuje się od instruktora parkHIIT?

parkHIIT to inicjatywa inspirowana przez ludzi – tą inspiracją możesz być Ty! Instruktorzy parkHIIT prowadzą wstępnie zaprogramowany 30-minutowy trening w weekendowy poranek raz w miesiącu (lub częściej, jeśli sobie tego życzą) w dedykowanej lokalizacji.  Prowadzenie w parkHIIT nie musi być czasochłonne, ale istnieją kluczowe kwestie. Zdrowy i bezpieczny trening jest na szczycie listy i będzie obejmował kontrolę bezpieczeństwa przed treningiem oraz otwartą komunikację i wizualne kontrole z uczestnikami.

Struktura treningu parkHIIT

5 minut rozgrzewki –> 20 minut intensywności –> 5 minut rozgrzewki

Wspaniała wiadomość – ciężka praca została wykonana!   Mamy pięć obrotowych zaprogramowanych treningów, więc nie musisz planować żadnych treningów. Jako część DNA parkHIIT & rsquo; ważne jest, abyśmy trzymali się tych treningów, aby uczestnicy mogli oczekiwać tej samej struktury treningowej w parkHIIT bez względu na lokalizację. W końcu wszyscy prowadzimy intensywne życie, które wymaga elastyczności, a jednocześnie spójności.

Dlaczego warto zostać wolontariuszem jako instruktor parkHIIT?

parkHIIT istnieje po to, aby wspierać ludzi. Możesz być osobą, która sprawi, że parkHIIT stanie się rzeczywistością w Twoim lokalnym parku. Możesz zrobić niesamowitą, namacalną różnicę, wykorzystując swoje umiejętności i zmieniając perspektywy i życie ludzi mieszkających w Twojej społeczności. Wolontariat daje również możliwość rozwijania nowych umiejętności i budowania na istniejącej wiedzy, a na prostym poziomie często jest to szum, aby być zaangażowanym w coś pozytywnego w swojej społeczności. Możesz rozwijać się w swojej roli, aby stać się mentorem dla nowych liderów społeczności parkHIIT w Twojej okolicy.

Każda cotygodniowa bezpłatna sesja parkHIIT jest próbką; uczestnicy są zachęcani do większej aktywności fizycznej w ciągu tygodnia. Budując relacje z uczestnikami parkHIIT, otwierasz drzwi potencjalnym nowym klientom. 

- Decide on a time and day (Saturday or Sunday) that parkHIIT will take place at your chosen location. It’s important to stick with the same time each week once you have established parkHIIT.

- Draw up a schedule for a 6-week trial period and confirm an instructor against each of the 6 dates.

- Confirm approval with the local authority for the 6 week trial.

- Confirm your start date and start advertising in the local community.

Consistency is Key

Consistency is essential as we start at a new location and look to grow a local parkHIIT community.  Experience informs us that we need a minimum of 6 weeks at a dedicated, well signposted site but as important is the consistency of leaders. As with all training, consistency is key to deliver results, therefore it is key that parkHIIT can rely on its leaders to show up each week and support those looking to get fit, get active and get connected with one another. We start well and we build on that.

- All going well with the 6-week trial, we can move to establish parkHIIT permanently in the park every weekend by again confirming this with the local authority .

- As Location Director, you will be responsible for ensuring there is an instructor rostered to lead each upcoming parkHIIT workout. Cosistency is key. When we start in a park we stay in a park. We don't skip weekends.

- To make this weekly activity sustainable after the trial, we recommend recruiting a team of regular attendees to volunteer to become parkHIIT Community Leaders (see below). 

- As you build your team of Community Leaders, the qualified instructors who helped you get started can transition to mentor and support the newly qualified Community Leaders providing oversight and guidance.

What is the parkHIIT Community Leader Programme?

parkHIIT is not a class, it’s a group exercise session. In order for parkHIIT to scale and run consistently every weekend in local parks, we upskill and empower community leaders to lead parkHIIT sessions. We do this through the parkHIIT Leader Training Programme.

The training programme is provided to those interested in leading parkHIIT workouts in their local communities. parkHIIT Leader Training will only be for those that have an existing understanding of how resistance training works (you don't need a fitness qualification but if you don’t know a lunge from a squat then this training is not for you). Leaders must also demonstrate a genuine passion for health and wellbeing AND their local community. Once a leader successfully completes the training, they will be covered under the parkHIIT insurance policy to lead parkHIIT sessions in any of our designated parks.

parkHIIT Community Leader Programme - The Training

The parkHIIT community leader training consists of an online and an in-person practical element. The online element is self-paced and can be completed at any time. The practical training requires would-be leaders to support qualified instructors at parkHIIT workouts on a minimum of five occasions.

The training covers:

- The parkHIIT Ethos

- Organisation and Safety

- The Workouts (there are only 5 bodyweight workouts which rotate each week)

- Getting started as a parkHIIT Leader

How Do I Become a parkHIIT Community Leader?

If parkHIIT is already established in a park close to you then you can contact the Location Director for that park to find out when the next training programme is taking place. If parkHIIT doesn’t currently take place in a park close by but you’d like to bring it there then it sounds like you need to become a parkHIIT Location Director first!

A parkHIIT Location Director can also be a parkHIIT Community Leader and vice versa. Anyone that wishes to lead a parkHIIT workout MUST have completed the training and have received confirmation that they are included on the group insurance policy. The insurance only covers the leading of the 5 pre-set parkHIIT workouts at one of parkHIIT’s established locations.

Why Volunteer as a parkHIIT Community Leader?

This is your chance to give back to your local community. You can make an incredible difference and change the lives of people living in your local area. You can build lasting relationships, develop new skills and grow your self-confidence. Who knows, it could even be a stepping stone for you to progress to a formal fitness qualification. Regardless of your motivation, we can guarantee that volunteering with parkHIIT will be an incredibly rewarding experience, one that you will not regret.
