OUTDOOR GYMS BOOMING
24 Feb 2016
Outdoor gyms are playing an important role in helping Australians to increase their participation in exercise and in combating worrying levels of sedentary behaviour and obesity.
Over the past five years the concept of outdoor gyms has grown from ‘an interesting idea’ to a well regarded asset in more than 300 communities across Australia. The rate of take up continues to increase.
a_space recreation has led the way with their locally designed and manufactured Fit for Parks range. The range was developed with the input of exercise physiologists and created to be accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels.
With hundreds of Fit for Parks outdoor gyms now installed across Australia, these facilities have brought about a wave of positive change, and communities are enjoying the array of health and social benefits they provide.
The popularity of the range can be put down to its inviting design, ease of use, clear instructional signage, and of course the fact that it is free to access.
The range offers users a complete workout system helping to build strength, mobility and cardio fitness. Built to stringent safety standards the equipment is robust, being designed to withstand the harshest of environments.
