Hybrid Fitness Event Held at Prem Prachawanarak Park

As health trends become daily routines, public spaces must do more than provide green scenery — they must meet urban residents' real needs for accessible exercise areas, inspiring activities, and supportive communities that make fitness enjoyable and sustainable. Open public parks have become essential infrastructure for urban well-being, since exercise doesn't require expensive gym memberships, just a pair of shoes and willingness to move. This vision came to life on Saturday morning, October 24, 2026, at Prem Prachawanarak Park through the "Hybrid Training in the Park" event.

Prem Prachawanarak Park partnered with Brew Run Club, a well-known fitness and wellness activity organizer, opening its green space in the heart of Lak Si district to people of all ages and genders for a 4-kilometer run, three functional training stations, and recovery through ice baths and massage under certified trainers' supervision.

Combining Running with Functional Training Since effective exercise isn't just running alone or weightlifting alone, but includes letting the body work in all dimensions, Hybrid Training in the Park was designed as a continuous training flow that transitions smoothly from one phase to the next. Starting with muscle activation, followed by running amid the park's shady trees, then moving to challenging strength and agility stations, and finishing with a recovery session that left participants feeling fully refreshed. The event aimed to develop strength, agility, and endurance through four segments:

Warm Up: Preparing the body before activity 4-kilometer run around the park Hybrid Training 3 Stations: Including Burpees and Broad Jumps, Squats and Walking Lunges Recovery Zone: Featuring Ice Bath (cold water immersion for 10-15 minutes to reduce muscle inflammation and speed recovery) and neck, back, and shoulder massage to relieve tight, tense muscles and trigger points from neck to shoulders.

Participants Praise "Convenient, Clean, Shady" Tevika Sangkhun, 41, a first-time run club participant, shared that the event was fun and diverse — running, station training, and recovery. Though exhausting, the ice bath left her refreshed, and she enjoyed meeting new like-minded friends. Her main reason for joining was the location, since Prem Prachawanarak Park is near her home. "Most events are held downtown, which is inconvenient for us. I'm delighted they organized an activity here," she said.

Meanwhile, a group of three close friends who learned about the event from the park's page and registered, said morning exercise helped them refresh after a hectic week and prepared them for upcoming activities. They also praised the venue as clean, shady, and well-organized without issues. "The park is open daily from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. and is pet-friendly, so we can bring our pets for walks. We'd like to invite friends to visit the park," a group representative said.
