parkHIIT Phoenix Park

Why?

We don't exercise enough in Ireland and when we do it's almost always cardiovascular exercise (heart health) that gets promoted. The equally important resistance exercises that support our bones, muscles and joints don't get nearly enough attention. parkHIIT's mission is to change that by promoting the importance of resistance exercise through our free weekly workouts.

Impact

parkHIIT removes barriers. The first barrier we remove is the intimidation barrier. Many people think resistance exercise or strength training means lifting heavy weights in a gym. With parkHIIT, we show how simple resistance exercise can be with our free introductory bodyweight only workouts in a fun outdoor group setting.

We also remove the financial barrier. parkHIIT workouts are free!
