Sport Photography: my favorite outdoor gym in Prague

avatar
(Edited)

Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!

As I mentioned in some of my previous posts, there are several outdoor gyms here in Prague that I use for my workout. I already showed you one of them in this post some time ago. Today, however, I will finally take you the spot that is my very favorite here and where I go most often :) Why it took me so long to make this post? Well, because there are usually other people working out there too and I´m not really comfortable with taking photos of strange people, it seems to be kind of impolite to me.

In summer, there often were quite a lot of people using the gym but now, with the days getting shorter, colder and more rainy, I´m sometimes the only person there, which is something I really enjoy by the way :) During my last workout session two days ago, I was alone in there again, even though the weather was not bad at all that day actually. The temperature was around the pleasant 18 C (64 F) and the sun was shining so I figured it was the perfect time to finally take some pictures of the spot for this long overdue post :)

As you can see in the photos above, the place is still relatively new and undamaged, I think it was built just a few years ago. What I really like about this gym though are the machines and dumbbells. I mean there are dozens of outdoor gyms in Prague but the vast majority of them is basically just calisthenics playgrounds while this gym feels like a real gym. Except it´s open 24/7, located in the fresh air and to be used free of charge of course :) It does remind me of the amazing outdoor gym that I used when I was living in Krakow, Poland and I´m glad that I can continue my "workout career" in the same (outdoor) style here in Prague too. I should also add that there actually is a calisthenics playground right next to this area with the machines too, just behind that big white tarp that you can see in some of the pictures.

If you ever happen to be in Prague and feel like working out at this cool place, let me inform you that it´s located in the city neighborhood of Stodulky, just a few minutes walk from the subway station of the same name (Stodulky). It was actually built for the residents of the nice adjacent houses that belong to the modern part of the neighborhood called the British Quarter but the gym has got very popular over the time and now people from all over the city come here to work out as it probably is the only gym of this kind in Prague. I also pinned this post to Pinmapple so that you can easily find the exact location of this cool place ;)

Wow! I wish we could have such good outdoor gyms around here. But between the proximity to the sea and people not taking care of things, it is nie imposible. This looks incredible. With a gym like that nearby, I could definitely get my beach body up. 😂

Well, after spending several years by the sea, I know exactly what you mean ;) Metal things corrode incredibly fast in the salty humid air. Here in this mild climate, the biggest threat is just the human vandalism :D :/ Thanks for swinging by man!

Good thing you understand the problem! Human vandalism seems to be thing regardless of geography.

Hey buddy Gym outside? Sounds pretty good. The only thing missing is a treadmill. We can solve that by running around 🤣.

I wish I had some of these outdoor gyms where I live, what a blissful feeling it must be to workout in the fresh air with such clean looking equipment.

Exactly ;) One of the main reasons why I prefer these outdoor gyms to the regular ones ;) Thanks for your visit!

I think it is high time to do such outdoor sports from now on as the weather has been cooler. We have rainy-cold, and hot-sunny weather nowadays in Istanbul.

Good that it will be sunny and hot at the weekend. Have a good time mate!

I had a really hard time working out at the gym in the summer heat so I feel much more comfortable there now with the colder weather ;) I definitely don´t mind rain, snow and freezing temperatures as much as I do heat so I´m planning to up my game now! :D

Wow, nice, i never saw an outdoor public gym with all the weights!
Normally it's just calisthenics , like you mentioned...

I know. Calisthenics playgrounds are everywhere these days but this place is about some good oldschool iron pumping :) Thanks for stopping by!

It's a excellent outside gym. I think need to applying suncream first before exercises !

O gymy se neboj, už se zase plní :) Jsem si na 99% jistý, že až začne mrznout a sněžit, tak "na Rockyho" v té venkovní posilce pojedu jenom já :D :/ I dneska jsem tam byl sám a to bylo poměrně nepochmurně :)

If we had something like that in here I wouldn't be paying for gym during summer.

Not just in summer my friend, I have been working out at otdoor gyms all year round, it´s possible if you can handle a bit of discomfort ;) In fact, working out in bad weather only makes you stronger (more resilient).

Right. It does feel like a real gym. Too bad you cannot go there with me, I know you would have no issues using it even in winter when it´s too cold and rainy/snowy for my pussy friends :D

Hahaha, I actually call this kind of workout (in bad / extreme weather) the "Rocky mode workout" so you were spot on with that :D I would love to meet you as well dude, as far as I remember, we only spent literally a few minutes talking to each other that night in Krakow, right? I remember you were super tired and I was already drunk :D

I was absolutely destroyed. So destroyed that two days later I fell sick with a sore throat and had to start the bicycle trip like that. What happened to @matkodurko? He was there too that night.

Yeah, I know. Sick on that brutal winter bike Eurotrip. The Rocky Mode must have been on big time! :D

Matko? Yeah, we actually came to Krakow together and shared an AirBnb for that night. He stopped being active on the chain quite soon after the Fest. The last time we spoke, he was doing some volunteering in Greece but that was quite some time ago already, I don´t have any recent updates from him...

Yeha, I had his Whatsapp and last update he was in Greece indeed. I'll try to phone his later today to see. I bet he's using the same phone number though
