Have you spotted it yet? There is a mobile outdoor fitness station sitting right on Dorpstraat in Sint Geertruid, and it is completely free to use. Outside, fresh air, whenever you feel like it.
Here is what you need to know:
- It is a multi-functional piece of equipment where you can do all kinds of exercises
- Available any time of day, 7 days a week
- Totally free, no membership required
- It moves to a new spot in the municipality roughly every two months
The best part? This was not some top-down government plan. It came from residents themselves. People asked for it, and the municipality made it happen. That is how it should work.
So if you have been looking for a reason to get moving without committing to a gym membership, here is your chance. Walk by, try it out, and spread the word to your neighbors.
The sportcontrainer concept allows a municipality to serve dozens of villages with just a single piece of equipment on a rotating schedule. Eijsden-Margraten has over 20 different village centers, which means the equipment might not return to the same spot for three to four years. That makes it extra important to use it while it is in your neighborhood.
