Merrell launches Nature’s Gym movement with new versatile footwear

Merrell, the outdoor performance brand that empowers amazing outdoor lives, is excited to announce the launch of Nature’s Gym—a Merrell movement encouraging people to use nature as their gym. Nature’s Gym is where your active outdoor adventures happen, it’s where you explore, experience, and enjoy the outdoors.

“Today’s consumer has a broad definition of the outdoors. Not everyone has immediate access to scenic trails and mountain views,” said Merrell’s Chief Marketing Officer Linda Brunzell.

“From a walk around a city block in Beijing to a boot camp class in London; from circuit training in Central Park to a trail run in Los Angeles, consumers are seeking out new and exciting ways to enjoy nature, connect with friends and escape the everyday. This is Nature’s Gym, and we’re looking for new members.”

Merrell Malaysia kicked things off by making September 21st, #NaturesGym Day with their partner Original Bootcamp Malaysia by having a group fitness boot camp at Dataran Petaling Jaya (Padang Timur).

In order to provide consumers with the right gear to take on whatever nature means to them, Merrell is rolling out a series of versatile footwear that have been specifically designed to help you take your fitness routine outdoors. These shoes will give you a greater connection to your terrain, no matter what type of environment you might be in.

Merrell has a few upcoming launches to suit the movements:
