MERRELL launches its ‘NATURE’S GYM’ COLLECTION
Gym rats, listen up. There’s more to workouts than the four walls of your indoor fitness center. You’ve probably heard of the great outdoors. And Merrell wants you to explore it more with the recent launch of their “Nature’s Gym” campaign, which encourages individuals to take their workouts to the next level.
Instead of using the treadmill, why not do the running in the park? Instead of lifting weights, why not do planks, squats, and burpees? It makes sense. After all, while the end goal is to be healthier, there are so much more ways to stay in shape beyond the usual.
Outdoors, there’s more room to move, fresh air to breathe, natural obstacles to overcome, and plenty of space to recharge.
Recently, Merrell held several activities that encouraged people to go out more often. There were sessions on outdoor self-defense through KravMaga, a modern method of self-defense which combines instinct with a curriculum that trains aggressiveness, fighting spirit, situational awareness and verbal de-escalation of conflict; as well as a holistic wellness talk by Jose Villablanca, a fitness expert, who shared tips on how to achieve one’s desired health and well-being.
Together with the campaign, Merrell launched its Nature’s Gym Collection, which consists of Trail, Run, and Fit categories. So whether you’re going out on a stony terrain or a grassy path, there’s a pair of shoes that’s ideal for you.
Merrell’s Agility Collection For trail runs, the Merrell Agility Collection is the go-to shoes as it actively flex and protect the feet (thanks to its FLEX-connect technology). The Merrell Agility Charge Flex is perfect for light runs on moderate terrain. It sports a Hyperlock TPU film heel counter for stability during quick descents and sharp turns.
* Merrell’s Bare Access Flex Collection
For road runs, Merrell presents its latest innovation, the Bare Access Flex. This is ideal for those who prioritize flexibility, with excellent versatility, comfort, and ground connection on the trail, road and beyond. It provides superior breathability with its mesh lining, as well as some serious grip and traction, which it owes to the M Select GRIP+ outsole.
* Merrell’s Trail Glove 4 Collection
For outside fitness, there’s the Merrell Trail Glove 4 which has everything you need to support your fitness goals in a neat, versatile, just-right package. This minimalist barefoot shoe sports a simple design construction but is fitted with maximum performance, equipped with a sock-like construction for a locked-down fit, as well as a Vibram sole for superior grip on and off the road.
