<p>For exercise that does what it says on the tin, look no further than Kate &#8211; PT, massage therapist and mum-of-three (how she fits it all in, we’ll never know). Training clients on the beaches of&nbsp;Devon&nbsp;with kettlebells and dumbbells, she also runs sessions from her own outdoor gym setup, complete with a covered shelter for when the British weather inevitably has other ideas. </p>



<p>But the real magic? Her weekly class on&nbsp;Dartmoor &#8211; an energising mix of cardio, strength and mobility training. I joined one sunny morning at&nbsp;Newbridge&nbsp;and honestly, it was such a joy. Think circuits on the grass, stunning woodland and, for the ultimate endorphin boost, a dip in the&nbsp;River Dart&nbsp;afterwards. Saturday mornings suddenly have a lot to live up to.</p>



<p>The vibe is wonderfully inclusive too; from a 12-year-old training alongside her dad to seriously fit 60-plussers, all cheering each other on in a warm, welcoming group. And at £12 a session &#8211; including one of Kate’s dangerously good homemade date balls &#8211; it feels like an absolute steal.</p>

<p>Founded by Devon-based coach Holly Fivian,&nbsp;Holsm&nbsp;is a refreshingly no-nonsense strength and wellbeing community helping women around the world build strength through short, realistic workouts and a properly supportive, community-led approach.</p>



<p>Designed with women in their 40s and 50s in mind, Holly is very much here to challenge the idea that midlife means slowing down. Instead, she’s championing strength training as a way to rebuild confidence, energy and a stronger sense of self, all under a simple, powerful mantra:&nbsp;Be Strong. Be Seen<em>.</em></p>



<p>Forget restrictive dieting and punishing cardio sessions &#8211; this is all about sustainable movement that actually fits into real life (imagine that). And if you fancy trying it for yourself, Holly runs a brilliant Saturday morning outdoor bootcamp at 9am on either&nbsp;Ide Village Green&nbsp;or&nbsp;Weir Meadow&nbsp;(weather dependent, because… Devon). Expect a mixed-ability, all-ages welcome vibe with zero pressure and no booking required &#8211; just turn up (£6.50 pay-as-you-go or £60 for a block of 10).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-park-run"><a href="https://www.parkrun.com/search" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PARK RUN</a></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="1125" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/devon/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2026/05/Park-Run-.jpg" alt="Runners, Park Run" class="wp-image-85617" srcset="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/devon/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2026/05/Park-Run-.jpg 1500w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/devon/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2026/05/Park-Run--800x600.jpg 800w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/devon/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2026/05/Park-Run--1000x750.jpg 1000w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/devon/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2026/05/Park-Run--768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /></figure>



<p>If you’ve never heard of&nbsp;Parkrun, consider this your gentle nudge to change that immediately. It’s a brilliantly simple (and totally free) community event held every Saturday morning at the same time across the country, where people gather to take on a 5K (3.1 mile) run or, importantly, a walk, jog, shuffle, buggy-push or dog-led meander. No judgement, no pressure.</p>



<p>Not a runner? Doesn’t matter. That’s kind of the point. Some people are there to chase a PB, others are just there to move, chat and enjoy being outside, while plenty of volunteers line the route cheering everyone on like it’s the main event (because, in a way, it is). Set in parks and open green spaces, it’s designed for absolutely all ages and abilities &#8211; less &#8216;race day panic&#8217;, more &#8216;friendly weekly ritual&#8217;. And yes, there’s usually a very strong coffee opportunity waiting nearby for the post-parkrun reward.</p>



<p>A late convert myself, I’m now fully in and regularly run a couple of the Devon routes (Haldon Forest and&nbsp;Teignmouth) but there are plenty more dotted across our lovely county if you fancy exploring a new one each week via the handy search tool. Its community, movement, fresh air and friendliness all rolled into one very accessible Saturday morning habit. Honestly &#8211; just do it. </p>

<p>So you’ve watched&nbsp;<em>SAS: Who Dares Wins</em>&nbsp;and thought, &#8216;I’d do better than Barrowman&#8217;? Enter&nbsp;Devon Military Fitness &#8211; delivering properly military-style physical training led exclusively by armed forces instructors. </p>



<p>Forget what you think you know about &#8216;boot camp classes&#8217; &#8211; this really is for everyone. The 60-minute sessions are carefully structured to adapt to all fitness levels, meaning you can be as competitive (or not) as you like. And there are two standout Devon locations. First up is&nbsp;Mutters Moor&nbsp;in Sidmouth &#8211; an authentic commando training ground where Royal Marines hopefuls have been shaped, making full use of its mixed elevation, open heathland and woodland edges. Then there’s Woodbury Common&nbsp;near Budleigh Salterton and sessions held with official permission from the Clinton Estate on historic Royal Marine Commando training grounds. </p>



<p>Instructors expect sessions to be taken seriously. You’ll need the right kit &#8211; gloves, proper running shoes, and clothing suited to all weather (because these sessions go ahead rain or shine, naturally). Prices start from £25 per month for one session a week, with blue light and defence discounts available.</p>

<p>A national charity, Park Yoga offers free outdoor yoga sessions in nature every Sunday morning from May through to September &#8211; and it’s as simple and welcoming as it sounds.There’s no need to book, no pressure, and absolutely everyone is invited to join in, regardless of age, background or ability. Think fresh air, gentle movement and a very low-barrier way to start your Sunday feeling vaguely like a new person.</p>



<p>Sessions take place in beautiful park settings, with four locations across Devon including&nbsp;Exeter,&nbsp;Torquay&nbsp;and&nbsp;Plymouth. They’re delivered in association with&nbsp;Yogi Tea, whose support helps keep the classes completely free for everyone &#8211; forever (nice work). </p>



<p>It’s worth checking the website for exact locations and timings, but the premise is beautifully straightforward: turn up, roll out your mat, and ease into Sunday a little more mindfully than you might otherwise have planned. Namaste.</p>

<p>An outdoor gym set on a working farm in Devon, Farming Fit is surrounded by open countryside and designed to make movement feel as good for the mind as it does for the body. Born from its founder Hannah’s background in Nutrition and Food Science, alongside her time working in the NHS as a gym instructor and PT, Farming Fit brings together her two worlds &#8211; farming and fitness &#8211; after returning to the family farm to create something more purposeful.</p>



<p>At its heart, it’s about accessible, feel-good exercise in the fresh air, with a strong focus on community, connection and mental wellbeing. Sessions are designed for all abilities and include circuits, HIIT, group cycling and Stretch &amp; Chill classes, all led by instructors in a friendly, welcoming environment. And there’s also an indoor space for when the weather turns.</p>



<p>With its concept inspired by the resilience of farming life &#8211; long hours, unpredictable conditions and constant change &#8211; Farming Fit isn&#8217;t just for farmers and has a real emphasis on bringing people together through movement. (£7.50 pay-as-you-go or £60 for 10 sessions).</p>
