3 years ago, when i was 15 yo, i started working out with my class mate on "street-workout".
for those who don't know- street workout is a sport doing calistenics body exercises, on the street.
back then he was a little nerd and skinny, and i was just OK, but we both was passionate about starting new sport together,gaining confidence and becoming what we want to be.
we was watching youtube videos on how to do exercises and etc. we found a place to train & set our first train.
on our first train we was confused and didn't knew exactly what to do. we also had trouble finding how to do few exercises since we didn't have exactly what we wanted. since it's street-workout,over time we were able to be creative and eventually found alternative solutions to almost all the facilities we needed.
after 2 months of training, more people started joining our workouts. from 2 we became even 30 people training, it was exciting.
After a while, we started looking for a serious solution. i took pictures and sent the local council official letter stating the problems. the Facilities were very rusty and our skin was damaged every train, and they was very old & dangerous as they was about to break when u train on them, and there wasn't any other better solution in the area.
what happend next- they didn't gave a F*ck about us. they wanted us to raise all the cash while they spend extra cash on shitty stuff. our request got to the local newspaper. at the time i started havin serious dizziness (have it till now) that prevented me from keep working out,today i learned how to live with it and it got a little bit better.
yeah, i quitted work out and alot of stuff at the time and it was hard time for me. but my mates- tried one more time with other council. that council took it seriously and after 2.5 years from our first try, we now have more than we ever thought we will get. the new park was very expensive because its in the best spot we imagined and needed to work the ground first.
people from all ages use that park,and it benefits them with healthy lifestyle.
my mate won 3rd in a competition in my country, became a beast, and gain alot of friends. i started working out too soon after i got better, and im very happy from the results now.
