This is much more than a gentle jog. The structure is like a cross between a boot-camp and a playful playground for adults.
Expect body-weight exercises, circuit training, hill work and plenty of interaction with other members. It’s designed for all levels, and one of the best parts is the community vibe: you’ll leave tired, but smiling.
There are several great reasons to try this session.
Firstly, starting your day with movement boosts your energy, mood and focus. By participating in a fun group workout right at dawn, you set a positive tone for the whole day.
Secondly, being outdoors on the Westbourne coast path near the sea adds an extra dimension of freshness and enjoyment compared with being indoors.
Thirdly, the community aspect means you won’t feel alone: meeting like-minded early risers builds motivation and makes it easier to stick with the habit.
