ABOUT THE INITIATIVE

THE PEOPLE’S GYM PARIS

Omnigym partnered with Emmaüs Solidarité, a French non-profit organization supporting people experiencing homelessness, to pilot a outdoor gym at a homeless shelter in Paris.

The purpose was simple: to make physical training accessible to a group that is often overlooked, despite its clear benefits for both physical and mental health.

Paris was the starting point, demonstrating how physical training can be embedded into everyday environments and made more accessible. This approach can be adapted and implemented worldwide, helping to integrate physical activity into people’s everyday life.

 

  • Bringing an outdoor gym to a homeless shelter
  • Making physical training accessible
  • Addressing physical inactivity

“Physical activity is a powerful driver of social inclusion for people facing vulnerable circumstances. At Emmaüs Solidarité, we are committed to creating a supportive environment that enables our residents to stay active and participate in regular physical exercise."

Lotfi Ouanezar
Director General of Emmaüs Solidarité
