What equipment should I include in an outdoor gym?

When creating an outdoor gym, consider organizing workout stations to focus on related muscle groups. This type of arrangement can help ensure efficiency, as users can easily locate the equipment they need. For instance, if someone wishes to exercise their arms, they should be able to find all the relevant equipment in the same area.

A personal fitness plan needs to address multiple parts of the body, and so does your outdoor gym. To ensure that every visitor has a workout option for their fitness goals, make sure that you include equipment for all the main groups of the body, including cardio equipment to work the heart, as well as balance and flexibility equipment to improve dexterity. All our products are categorised (Cardio, Strength, Flexibility, Balance and Multi-Gym) to help you choose a balanced selection of products for your project.

Back and shoulders workout equipment

Your space can encourage working out the back and shoulders without expensive free weights. Instead, consider Dip Station, Rower and Horizontal Ladder. These options provide work for the shoulders, arms and back. Pullups and chin-ups require the individual to lift their body weight from the ground. Lat pulldowns use a resistance bar to increase force when pulling down on it.

Chest workout equipment

Provide chest workout equipment with our Push-up and Lat Pull & Chest press. Chest press devices work the chest muscles by requiring the user to push against a bar. A similar action occurs during push-ups. Our Push-up station uses one or more bars mounted on the ground to provide varying difficulty levels for push-ups. Higher bars are better for beginners because they only require the user to push against a portion of their body weight. Lower bars increase the percentage of body weight the person must push against, thus increasing the challenge.

Cardio fitness equipment

Not all gyms focus on strength training. Cardio equipment is vital to include if your gym does not have a nearby jogging trail or swimming pool. Options for cardio equipment include Air Skier, Spinning Bike and Ski Stepper. The Trinity Cycle is another accessible option for building cardiovascular ability and upper body strength.

Balance improvement equipment

Balance is crucial for health at any age. Whether you expect the outdoor gym to see more 20-somethings, seniors or people in between, include balance equipment to maintain and strengthen their skills. The Balance Beam will challenge the user to stay upright while standing on it, and the Ladder Walk will build confidence for older users while walking.
