Using weights to build strength

For many gym-goers, a popular way to build strength is by using weight machines. Weight machines are designed to guide users through a pre-determined range of movements, making them an excellent choice for newcomers and those who struggle with free weight exercises. KOMPAN offers a range of outdoor weight training machines, including our popular chest press machine for outdoor gyms.

The adjustable weights on KOMPAN’s outdoor weightlifting equipment continuously challenge users as they progress with their training. Our upper body strength machines offer up to 80kg of resistance, and our outdoor leg press machine packs 130kg. The adaptability of these products means they're suitable for users of various strength levels, making them an ideal installation for public fitness sites and private outdoor gyms.

Even without access to an indoor gym, people find creative ways to weight train – such as doing pull-ups on playground equipment. With more people looking to incorporate strength training into their exercise regime, commercial outdoor strength training equipment is a great way to support fitness in local communities.

Why bring strength training outdoors?

An effective weightlifting workout can be achieved indoors. So, why take strength training outside?

Additional Level of Challenge: Indoor gyms offer a controlled environment free from outdoor elements such as wind, heat, or rain. When you take strength training outdoors, users are exposed to an additional level of challenge that can help improve endurance and stimulate the senses. All KOMPAN outdoor strength training equipment is designed with climate-proof materials to provide a comfortable workout, regardless of the weather forecast.

Access to Fresh Air: Outdoor workouts provide access to fresh air instead of the re-circulated air blown around gyms and other indoor environments. Fresh air increases the flow of oxygen, which in turn helps to improve energy levels. It also supports our white blood cells, the digestive system, and serotonin production. When users train using outdoor weightlifting equipment, they are improving their strength and supporting their health in other areas, too.

Encourages Vitamin D Production: Exercising outdoors provides exposure to direct sunlight, which encourages the production of vitamin D. Vitamin D is incredibly important for immune system function and can help improve the body’s resistance to certain illnesses. Not only this but vitamin D has been found to support mood regulation and may help reduce symptoms of depression. This means outdoor strength training equipment can help users strengthen their muscles and immune system simultaneously – what a win!
