With a focus on movement medicine, the new website will offer physio and personal trainer led courses with the aim of combatting lifestyle diseases such as Diabetes Type 2 and encouraging environmentally conscious lifestyles. Working in partnership with Eden Reforestation, TGO will also be planting trees and donating to charities with every new sign-up. 

Georgie and Matt Delaney, co-founders of TGO, came up with the concept for TGO-Activate.com recognising the recent rise in outdoor exercise and the urgent need for everyone to support climate change goals. 

“We want to be the best at supporting communities to be healthy and to reach net zero. We feel TGOActivate.com gives us a platform to make a real difference to people’s health and also encourages society as a whole to live more sustainably,” said Georgie Delaney.

Founded in 2007, TGO designed the first Olympic legacy gym for adidas and rolled out 70 giant outdoor gym spaces in communities across the country. Since then, TGO has installed over 2000 gyms worldwide, including around 800 free publicly available in the UK. 

“There are 422m people living with Diabetes and physical activity is a wonder drug. We want to work with the whole fitness industry and make a difference to people’s lives. It is not about getting fit people fitter, we want to introduce more people to the benefits of regular outdoor gym exercise and help tack issues like Diabetes and cancer prevention,” said co-founder Matt Delaney.

TGO-Activate.com has been developed in partnership with Kesson Physiotherapy, an award-winning clinic. Each course is led by ‘TGO Activators’ who are real local community heroes, including Rob Lindley, a firefighter specialising in family fitness and Sarah Ford, a NHS paramedic and powerlifter.

Classes launching this summer include a six-week Type 2 Diabetes Programme by Kesson Physiotherapy, developed in partnership with Diabetes UK.
