Driven by a passion for outdoor exercise and a profound understanding of its mental and physical health benefits, Alexandros Skeparianos and Marios Chatzikas founded Physis Outdoor Training in 2011.
The mission of the Physis Outdoor Training team is to develop, promote, and expand outdoor exercise, inspiring individuals to break free from indoor spaces and embrace a fresh and invigorating fitness and recreation experience.
At Physis Outdoor Training, we believe that exercise should be both enjoyable and effective. Guided by this philosophy, we offer organized outdoor fitness programs year-round, embracing every season and ensuring that fitness can be experienced in the fresh air, no matter the time of year.
We believe that exercise should be a fulfilling experience that enhances both your mood and physical health. It shouldn't feel like a solitary task, where you simply go through the motions, counting down the minutes until it's over. Exercise is so much more than that—it's about FUN, CONNECTION, and COMMUNITY!
At Physis Outdoor Training, we foster an environment where you can not only enjoy your workouts but also build meaningful connections and a strong sense of community. Make sure the space where you train incorporates these three key elements, and you’ll be amazed at the positive impact it will have on both your body and mind. The results will exceed your expectations in the best possible way!
