If your favoured work out involves counting calories on high tech digital equipment and you enjoy a sauna and steam at the end of your session, then the Kachalka gym in the Ukraine is probably not for you. With muscle-bound gym goers using stacked tyres as a punch bag and free weights chained to the ground surrounded by unorthodox makeshift metal machines, the gym looks more like a scrapyard than a fitness centre. And you won't just be dripping with sweat should the heavens open during an intense workout. Al fresco: Gym goers of all ages and fitness levels flock to Kachalka outdoor gym in Kiev - because it's free
@highlight
The Kachalka gym is a 6.2 square mile outdoor fitness centre on the island of Tuhen in the Ukranian capital
@highlight
It was the brainchild of a Polish gymnast Kasmir Jagelsky and maths professor Yuri Kuk and opened in the 1970s
@highlight
Most of the gym equipment is made from scrap metal, vehicle parts and chains taken from machinery

Despite its lack of luxury the gym does have one obvious advantage - it's free to work out there
Its name comes from the @placeholder word 'kachat' which literally means 'to pump'.
