RESIDENTS of a village near Chelmsford will be able to get in shape in the open air after a new outdoor gym was opened.

The new fitness facility, on the Recreation Ground, Main Road, Boreham, features an ab bench, rowing trainer, bench press and spinning bike, with an air walker set to be added in November.

It was officially opened on Sunday and was funded by a £10,000 grant from the Tesco Bags for Help/Groundworks UK scheme.
