Natural intense physical movement – why is it not in the bible? Most people contact fitness people, like personal trainers or fitness holidays such as Wildfitness in order to get fit (very insightful Tara). They want to get bigger, smaller, faster, or more functional. Most people don’t get in touch with us because they [...] In the 10 years that Wildfitness has been running, we have cut loose more and more from the tethers of the ‘old paradigm’ of fitness.
