Green Gym Spruce up! A Sustainable Repair



Plus 35 more
Renew, Restore, Repair: The Green Gym Renovation has begun. The community hub's Green Gym needed a little pick-me-up, and WD-40 helped in doing just that. Let me explain what the Green gym is and the benefits of having it in your community.
Green gyms are free outdoor community-based activities that promote fitness and health.
Green gyms are usually in local parks with green spaces. They also promote a connection to nature.
Green gyms are known to improve physical and mental health. So important!
Green gyms reduce stress and anxiety, and you get an outdoor fitness workout in nature using the outdoor equipment.
I will show how regular maintenance can prevent squeaks and prolong equipment life, and that simple and quick
small actions add up to a bigger, sustainable future and a big impact on our community's fitness journey. Spreading positivity and motivation, one repair at a time!
