What’s the story behind AOD?
The Vision
Hello everyone! My name is Sarah Wickstrom, founder of All-Outdoors Fitness.
Being someone that grew up in such a special town, Stuart, I couldn’t be more excited to bring AOD to the community.
I started AOD with a simple vision, to create a place for people to effectively train outdoors.
The Problem
As an athlete and outdoor enthusiast, I found it difficult to find somewhere I truly enjoyed training at. I never stuck to indoor gyms and would always resort back to my local park or driveway workout just to be outside.
But someone that grew up playing team sports, training alone is never as fun or motivating.
The Solution
That’s when the idea of AOD was born — to create a one-of-a-kind outdoor space where athletes, that are also outdoor lovers, can can successfully train together.
Furthermore, I want AOD to inspire the people that would benefit from increasing their time spent in nature. By being in nature it produces a calming effect and when we combine nature’s elements with physical activity, it can help fight depression and anxiety.
