What is Open Gym? A Guide to Flexible Training & Fun Workouts
If you’ve ever wanted a flexible workout option that lets you train freely, practice skills, and have fun, then Open Gym might be the perfect fit for you. Many gyms, including Brazen Fitness, offer Open Gym sessions where members can use equipment, train at their own pace, and enjoy a supportive fitness community.
Whether you’re an athlete looking to refine skills, a beginner wanting to explore fitness, or someone just looking for a fun way to stay active, Open Gym offers a unique training experience.
Understanding the Open Gym Concept
What is Open Gym?
Open Gym is a self-guided training session where members can use a gym’s facilities without attending a structured class. Unlike scheduled workouts with a coach leading the way, Open Gym allows you to:
✔ Train freely at your own pace
✔ Use a variety of equipment for strength, conditioning, or skill-building
✔ Play games, practice sports, or complete your own workout routine
✔ Enjoy a flexible schedule that fits your lifestyle
Many gyms now offer the Open Gym option, giving fitness enthusiasts the chance to work out on their own terms.
