ACTI’ FUN

THE FITNESS CHALLENGE

Countless studies present the positive benefits of fitness for our physical, mental, and social wellbeing. But despite the obvious advantages, motivating people to take action on everyday fitness activities can be a challenge. Many children, adults and seniors still fall short of the World Health Organisation recommendations for physical activity. Whether it’s time pressures, a lack of motivation, the cost of a gym membership, or accessibility issues, people often put fitness on the back-burner. The challenge is to create physical activities that are fun and inspire people to keep coming back again and again.

THE ACTI’FUN SOLUTION

To help people overcome many of the barriers that stop them from taking part in regular fitness activities, Proludic have developed the ACTI’FUN solution. ACTI’FUN combines play and sport to trigger people’s interest and motivation to get active.image2

THE FITNESS FORMULA

Proludic has designed ACTI’FUN equipment to meet the needs of different users and to address a range of fitness criteria. Four elements of the fitness formula — muscle strength, heart health, balance and coordination — have been measured and calculated for each model. This means that when you’re designing an outdoor fitness space, you can combine different ACTI’FUN units to offer a range of activities to appeal to your specific target audience.

THE FUN-SPORT MOTIVATIONS

The ACTI’FUN solution activates seven key fun-sport motivations. Together, they help to build healthy habits, encouraging people to be physically active more often and to overcome the obstacles to regular exercise. The fun-sport motivations include:

• The free ACTI’FUN app with instructional training videos to suit different levels of fitness.
• A sound amplifying smartphone holder for music, selfies and videos.
• Dynamic physical sensations experienced during use.
• Timed challenges to help you reach your personal best.
• Inclusive design that makes it easy to exercise with friends and socialise .
• Equipment designs adapted for diverse body types.
• Equipment modules with different levels of difficulty enabling better fitness progress.image3

THE ACTI’FUN RANGES

There are three ranges in the ACTI’FUN solution: ACTI’Ninja, ACTI’Street and ACTI’Fit. Central to the design is their appeal to all body types, with mixed ability, intergenerational and inclusive engagement built in.

ACTI’Ninja | Fun obstacle trails designed to help children and teenagers improve their physical fitness. Participants strive to complete a series of activities, aiming to beat a stopwatch that’s triggered at the starting line.

ACTI’Street | High-performance exercise equipment designed in collaboration with the World Street Workout and Calisthenics Federation, suited to both amateur and professional users. Designed for individual or group use, the ACTI’Street range provides for intergenerational and inclusive Street Workout zones for all genders and fitness levels.

ACTI’Fit | Outdoor fitness equipment inspired by facilities found in the local gym. Ergonomically optimised to provide access to all for both exercise and relaxation, they are the perfect solution for outdoor fitness activities with friends.image4

THE ACTI’FUN APP

The ACTI’Fun App guides users on how to correctly use the equipment, and helps them track their progress over time. By accessing QR codes placed on the equipment, users can view instructions and videos, choosing the exercise that suits their ability and individual fitness targets. The ACTI’Fun App is free, easy to use, and is full of information to support all users.

FUN FITNESS MODE ACTI’VATED

While many are investing in community outdoor fitness facilities, the challenge is to motivate people into action to use the equipment on offer. Proludic’s philosophy is that making fitness a fun activity to be shared with others is fundamental to outdoor fitness equipment design and the successful provision of a fitness area embraced by the community.image5
