Using Outdoor Gym Equipment
Outdoor gym equipment is essentially gym equipment permanently installed outdoors. In fact you may have already see this in your local park. Often referred to as ‘adult playgrounds’, where would you see an outdoor gym?
Locations of Outdoor Gyms
Below we list some of the places where you are likely to find an "outdoor gym":
- Parks
- Hotels
- Cruise Ships
- Motorway service stations
- Prisons
- Military bases
- Holiday parks/caravan parks
- Business parks
- Out of town shopping centres
- Trim trails
- Schools
So you may be a council, hotelier, cruise ship operator, caravan park owner or even simply someone who wants to install gym equipment in your back garden. If so, what are the benefits of this type of gym equipment?
Benefits
The benefits will of course vary according to who you are but here are a few:
- Promotes Use of Public Spaces and Parks
This will help councils encourage healthier living among its local people and be in tune with government objectives to encourage healthier living. Gyms set up in parks are free, can be used by young and old alike and it should be noted there are often grants available to purchase the equipment.
- On-cost is Minimal
The other benefit is that once set up there are very few costs. Much of the equipment available is vandal-resistant and therefore maintenance costs can be very low.
- Commercial Benefits
This is relevant if you are a hotelier, caravan park owner, cruise ship owner or run a service station. It may well be that people who want to use your services also want to keep fit and may well select you over competitors if you have an outdoor gym facility.
- Joy of Working Out Outside
For those of you not in the above categories it may well be worth considering installing outside gym equipment if you just love working out outside particularly if you have little available space indoors.
