Free Fitness classes in Geneva with Urban Training


Interesting enough, the gym market is quite dynamic in Geneva. We can all name at least five good gyms in Geneva city...but I can do better: talk about fitness classes for free, yes completely free, I just named URBAN TRAINING !!! discover here how to benefit from it, how to get fit from free.


The following will explain:
  • what kind of  training sessions are offered
  • where the free fitness classes take place
  • how you can sign up for fitness classes free of charge

Urban Training - Fitness classes offered by passionate about sport

Recently arrived in Geneva, Urban Training is a non profit “association” that offers free sport sessions supervised by a fitness instructor by the name of Mathieu Gleyre. The training will mostly take place outside in parcs, and not in a regular fitness club. This is actually much more fun than the usual group running sesssion, because there is some down time (warmup, wind down) time when the participant can share and interact with the instructor. In addition to that, some exercises are done in pairs, which adds extra motivation not to give up. The natural urban element and constructions are used as props to achieve the free training. The intensity of the training does vary, from easy walks to literally "fat blasting" exercises. As a result, people of all looks and shapes feel comfortable to join.

Where does the free fitness program take place ?

There is usually a departure point somewhere in the city center, often around the lake. From there the training program is composed of different exercises hitting various muscles based on the urban elements available. The participants train and improve their fitness level progressively through exercising in small groups along the training circuit for 30 minutes. Often, you will use your own body weight to exercise your muscles and flexibility.

How can I sign up for free for this great gym ?

It is recommended to sign up online for the Urban Training gym and request a spot for a sport session as early as possible. About 4 fitness sessions a week are proposed in Geneva city center. Once your account is created, you are signed up to boost your fitness level, and all that gratis !
