Open in lockdown – Viennese fitness studio finds loophole

Markus Dittrich, owner of the Fitnessunion Meidling, has now found a loophole.Outdoor sports facilities openSince outdoor sports facilities (such as ski lifts, krone.at reported) are allowed to stay open during the current lockdown, the team quickly turned the Fitnessunion Meidling into an outdoor facility -Gym repurposed. Cardio machines, dumbbells, cable pullers and the like have been moved to the terrace, showers and changing rooms are not available.

There are so-called generation active park equipment in a total of ten parks in Vienna, and there is also a motor skills park in each of the Donaustadt and Favoriten. In 2020, the Vienna City Gardens installed 45 new fitness and calisthenics equipment in their parks. So you can combine a walk in the park with a workout. At a certain section of the Danube Canal (near the U4), you can also train in the fresh air – and even free of charge.
