Keep Fit Together With Fun Activities and Bonding

If the cold Winter weather and darker evenings result in you taking shorter walks, you might find that you both start piling on the pounds. But have you considered taking your dog to the gym? These workouts will get hearts pounding and tails wagging (headbands and legwarmers optional).

Thank Dog Bootcamp

Inspired by Barry’s Bootcamp, Thank Dog classes are co-hosted by a personal trainer and a dog trainer and promise to lift, sculpt, and tone. Located in Nashville, Cortland - and newly opened in Japan - these workouts combine strength and cardio training and will leave you both panting!

Reebok Crossfit Thames

Dogs are welcome at this state-of-the-art East London gym and can choose to chase their toys (or tails) whilst their owners work out, or rest up on the couch. Regulars include a Shiba, a French Bulldog and a Cocker Spaniel. Milo, one of the coaches, is a keen dog photographer, so your pet can strike a pose for a paw-trait too.

Doga

For dogowners seeking zen, Mahny Djahanguiri is the UK and Europe’s leading founder and author of DOGA - Yoga for you and your Dog.

Working out with your dog not only keeps you both fit, but it also strengthens the bond between you and your furry friend. Whether it’s a high-energy bootcamp, a zen-filled doga session, or a fun agility class, these activities provide a great way for you and your dog to stay active and enjoy each other’s company. So why not give it a try? You might just discover a new way to exercise and create lasting memories with your loyal companion.
