Living as a fitness nomad comes with unique challenges and exciting opportunities. For our team of ten, staying consistent with workouts means being creative with space, schedules, and routines. Fortunately, our group — known as the Nomads — has found a rhythm that keeps us both disciplined and inspired.
Gym Accessibility and Quality
One of the biggest wins for our team is accessibility. With our members spread within a 25km radius, nobody is too far from the action. Adding to this advantage is the leadership of Simon Mucheru, also known as Kasisi, who owns a gym and brings a wealth of fitness experience to the team. His knowledge ensures that every session is both effective and safe.
Our Regular GFF Drills
We meet regularly for Global Fast Fit (GFF) drills, which are tailored for strength, endurance, and agility. Every session is structured to maximize output while keeping injuries at bay.
Warm Up: Led by Kasisi, our warm-up routine includes light jogging, dynamic stretches, mobility exercises, and breathing drills. This phase prepares the body, wakes up the muscles, and reduces the risk of injury.
Main Exercise: After the warm-up, we dive straight into demanding routines such as GFF Pro or Shuttle drills. These sessions challenge stamina, build strength, and sharpen coordination.
Warm Down: Once the intensity drops, Kasisi guides us through light movements to bring the heart rate down gradually.
Stretching: The final stage involves stretches that release tension and improve flexibility, leaving us energized for the next session.
Quality Routines Worth Following
Beyond the GFF drills, we incorporate several reliable routines that can be followed by anyone looking to build consistency:
Bodyweight circuits (push-ups, squats, planks, lunges)
Cardio bursts (sprints, shuttle runs, skipping rope)
Strength sessions (resistance bands, weights, or improvised tools)
Core work (leg raises, plank variations, sit-ups)
Outdoor hikes that blend endurance training with adventure
Documenting the Journey
No story is complete without someone to capture it. Andrew is always with us, documenting routines and hikes. His photos and videos not only help us track progress but also motivate us to push harder, knowing our journey is being preserved.
Final Thoughts
Being a fitness nomad is about more than just exercise; it’s about community, discipline, and the joy of shared progress. With a committed team, strong leadership from Kasisi, and consistent routines, we’ve turned every session into both a challenge and a celebration.
