Trampoline chain Oxygen Freejumping and intrepid explorer Bear Grylls have teamed up to launch a “high intensity” indoor fitness programme.

Bear Grylls Fitness – which combines studio work with obstacle course fitness – will feature in Oxygen’s Manchester site before rolling out at other chains.

The programme will feature a “multi-storey” assault course aimed at challenging users to practice moves and techniques used by Grylls in the wild.

Grylls said the training was “functional and very dynamic”, adding: “This is the way that I build fitness for all my adventures, and Oxygen Freejumping provides the perfect venue and culture to train hard in this style.”

David Stalker, the organisation’s chief executive, said the partnership demonstrated that Oxygen Freejumping sites are “more than just trampolining”.

“This obstacle course concept is the logical step and I can’t wait for all of our Freejumpers to get fit and try to overcome the same type of obstacles that Bear encounters in the wild,” he added.

Oxygen Freejumping has five trading parks and a further four under construction. The company is aiming for 30 parks by summer 2018.
