Level Up Your Fitness Game In These Parkour And Jungle Gyms In Manila

We’re seeing more and more recreational facilities opening up to the crowd, all while observing health protocols. What once we’re done virtually, like attending fitness classes, are now making their comeback IRL. We see joggers doing their rounds, people bustling about in their sneakers walking around the city, gyms welcoming fitness buffs once again. 

As we gain more confidence in returning to our “old life”, so to speak, wouldn’t it be more fun to take your fitness journey out there, once again? While your daily routine is great, adding a bit of a challenge to the usual is an exciting welcome that we can accommodate now. So to change things up a bit, why not veer away from what you’re used to and seek for something out of your comfort zone?

If an “adult playground” sounds enticing to you, then you’re in luck. With parkour gyms and jungle gyms opening their doors, you can combine fitness and play in one—allowing you to reach your fitness goals while amping up the adrenaline factor for all adventure-seekers out there. 

Head out alone or, better yet, take your fitness accountability buddies with you. In the list below, we've rounded up these parkour and jungle gyms where you can sign up, have fun, and leave the facility sweating buckets—but totally thrilled. Read on!
