Annabel and Harry Twinberrow, age 26 and 29, have set up Moo Fit by adapting farming equipment to keep people fit and bring the community together.
The gym, based in Doddenham, near Knightwick, utilises haybales, ropes, cattle feeding troughs, tyres and more to create unique and active sessions.
Miss Twinberrow said: “Myself and my brother Harry, we are quite into our fitness and CrossFit so we started doing our own workouts around the farmyard with whatever we could find.
“We thought we should get some other people involved so we found a Hyrox coach called Karl Marshall and he started coaching sessions every Monday at 6pm.
“I’d say we have around 20 people that will come every Monday now.
“The costs were minimal. All of the equipment, it’s just things that we have seen lying around in the farm and thought that could work.
“The only costs were making a couple of changes to our insurance and bringing a coach in that knows what he’s talking about.”
Just like that, the distinctive fitness experience was born.
A typical workout session includes a cattle feeding trough flipped upside down as a jumping block, weighted balls thrown over hay bales and a wealth of exercises using a tyre.
“We’ve discovered that there’s like 100 different workouts you can do with a tyre,” she said.
“To be honest, there are more differences than similarities to a typical gym.”
The siblings have also competed, representing Moo Fit in Farmers Weekly’s Fittest Farmer competition – an event first created in 2018 as a way to spark a discussion on the physical and mental health of UK farmers and encourage them to stay fit.

“It is so nice to meet people and just be outside when the sun is shining,” she said.
“Everyone gets to know each other. It is a group focused on workouts but we will all go for a drink after or go for a walk around the cattle together – some of the cattle have been watching in the shed next door.
“We hope to bring in more sessions like Pilates or stretching, as well as more classes per week.
“We also want to broaden our reach and try to get some older people involved.”
