Training Beyond the Gym: Taking Your Fitness Outside This Summer

As the days get longer and the sun shines brighter over Oakland, we’re reminded of something we deeply believe at Nu Fitness:

Fitness doesn’t live in the gym. It lives in you.

And when the weather is this good, when the energy is up, and when the people around you are ready to move—it’s time to take your training outside.

Over the past few months, we’ve been doing just that. Our team and community have hiked the Oakland Hills, biked across the Bay Bridge, climbed walls at Pacific Pipe, skated through downtown, chased each other in Spikeball matches at Lake Merritt, and even tackled obstacle races together. These aren’t just events—they’re movement experiences that connect fitness to joy, adventure, and community.

We’ve created space for people to move, not just to sweat—but to feel.

To feel strong.

To feel supported.

To feel like they belong, wherever they’re at in their journey.

And that’s what training with Nu Fitness is about. Not just checking off workouts, but building a lifestyle where movement is woven into real life—play, connection, resilience, and celebration.

Whether you’re brand new to fitness or have been training for years, there’s a place for you in these moments. You don’t have to be “fit enough” to come hiking. You don’t need six-pack abs to climb a rock wall. You just need a willingness to show up, to breathe in the fresh air, and to move alongside others doing the same.

This summer, we invite you to reimagine what training means.

Step outside the box (and the gym walls), and remember what it’s like to laugh while lunging, climb with curiosity, or finish a workout and high-five someone who just met you that day.

🌿 Your training doesn’t end when you walk out of the gym.

It grows stronger when you take it with you—into nature, into your city, into your life.
