Post-COVID, Hyderabadis have become increasingly health-conscious, looking for ways to stay fit. This shift has brought open-air gyms in city parks into the spotlight, offering a safe and accessible alternative where fitness meets fresh air. With simple workout machines set up in green spaces, these gyms make exercising feel less like a chore and more like part of a healthy outdoor routine.
What makes them special is their inclusivity, with morning walkers taking a break for strength training, senior citizens trying light exercises, and youngsters turning their evening strolls into workouts. These spots are no longer just spaces for relaxation, they have evolved into community fitness hubs where Hyderabadis of all ages are embracing a healthier lifestyle. Siasat.com takes you through six Hyderabad spots that are ideal for community fitness and large gatherings.
