parkHIIT has become a necessary part of my weekly routine. I’m so thankful for this sense of community and connection. Instead of spending cold, gloomy winter mornings under a duvet, you’ll find me in my local park. Even on difficult mornings when I don’t feel like waking up early to exercise, I’m motivated by the promise of friendly chats and coffee at the end of each workout. My favourite thing about parkHIIT is that it is so community-oriented, and the training process felt inclusive, fulfilling, and empowering. Through a series of workshops, we learned about the benefits of physical fitness and resistance exercise. Last year, I tried my first parkHIIT workout, and now, I’m insured and qualified to lead parkHIIT sessions in my local park. I feel lucky to be a part of this inaugural group of 23 parkHIIT Community Leaders offering new attendees the same friendly support and encouragement that has meant so much to me. It is such a privilege to contribute and I’m looking forward to seeing how this programme grows to include more parks around Dublin and nationwide.
