Rabble, an organisation set up to “transform exercise into games”, held its first session in Christchurch Park on Saturday morning.
Session leader Clara Porteous said turn out was low, but those who did take part had a “good laugh”.
“I don’t think they knew quite what they were letting themselves in for,” she added.
“They couldn’t believe just how hard they worked.”
