National Fitness Day is fast approaching, which makes it the perfect time to share the various options around the city to keep fit and get a good workout in. Whether you’re a dedicated gym bunny, or you’re just looking to make some gentle improvements, we’ve got something for everyone.
If you’re up for a ramble around the greener areas of Manchester, there’s a leading walking charity called the Manchester Ramblers that focus on protecting the places that people walk and highlighting those routes to newcomers. On their website you can find local groups, nearby routes, and even become a member.
Transport for Greater Manchester provides free cycling training across the city, with various options and levels depending on your experience and confidence. You can go for the Learn to Ride option, for those who haven’t cycled before or haven’t been on a bike for years, or the Road Rider Ready level which will build your confidence to cycle in traffic. They also offer bike maintenance sessions, bespoke sessions that are one-on-one around an area or route that you choose, and family confidence lessons where you’ll focus on riding safely as a group. You can find more information on their website.
