Why outdoor fitness and gym equipment

Globally, 33% of the population is inactive, and sedentary activity is one of the leading factors for global mortality. In addition, with the Australian government recommending 2.5–5 hours of physical activity each week, including 1.25–2.5 hours of vigorous activity, as part of the 'Physical Activity and Exercise Guidelines for All,' Australians are turning to accessible, high-quality outdoor fitness spaces in their communities. Exercising outdoors offers numerous health benefits, including improved mental and physical well-being, combatting socioeconomic inequalities, and promoting socialisation and inclusion, ultimately reducing healthcare costs for the Australian Government.

Furthermore, COVID-19 encouraged Australians to get active outdoors, emphasising the critical need for access to high-quality and functional outdoor fitness sites in the parks and leisure industry. Planners, designers, and governments need to consider this when designing community recreational facilities.

While you can get fit in a gym, as a commercial-grade outdoor fitness, gym, and sporting equipment manufacturer, KOMPAN has created fitness products that are on par with the highest quality indoor training facilities, thanks to scalable user positions and adjustable resistance design solutions. Our equipment is designed to elevate workouts by adding the extra challenges and benefits that only nature can provide. With KOMPAN's outdoor fitness equipment, Australians can enjoy the added benefits of sunshine, fresh air, and connecting with the community. Whether you're looking for outdoor cardio or strength & resistance machines, cross-training or calisthenics training equipment, adult obstacle courses, or mobility & recovery equipment for elderly people and those in need of physiotherapy, KOMPAN has a solution for all. We even offer a range of inclusive gym equipment and guidance on how to design an inclusive outdoor gym for adults of all abilities, regardless of any disabilities. From boardwalks to schools, rooftops, local parks, and destination gyms, you can find a project solution to inspire and motivate everyone.

Outdoor gym equipment backed by research

Every innovative product design is founded on knowledge and science, developed by the KOMPAN Fitness Institute. This specialist unit conducts industry research and focuses heavily on the latest health and exercise-related science. The Institute also collaborates with universities and networks of industry experts, further supporting the development of safe, ergonomic, and effective exercise equipment.

This research has enabled us to create patented designs that provide meaningful workouts, as we understand the importance of creating functional, certified, and accessible outdoor fitness equipment for parks and public spaces. Everyone can use KOMPAN's outdoor fitness equipment in a way that optimises personal training results, regardless of size, abilities, and age.

We were also recognised for our outdoor fitness product innovation, receiving a Good Design Award for our strength productsfrom one of Australia's most prestigious organisations. The Good Design Awards honour the yearly achievements of the best industrial and graphic designers and world class manufacturers in their pursuit of extraordinary design.

Park exercise equipment

It's no secret that health and fitness levels in Australia have declined, contributing to rising obesity levels. Australia is a beautiful country with plenty of sunshine, fresh air, and open green spaces. Yet, many of us spend hours sitting indoors, often in front of a screen.

However, research indicates that more and more people prefer to engage in outdoor workouts or fitness activities. Exposure to fresh air, natural environments, and sunlight increases Vitamin D levels and helps boost serotonin and post-exercise endorphin levels, making free outdoor fitness parks increasingly popular.

In addition to the physical benefits of exercising outside, park fitness equipment makes exercise accessible, affordable, social, and more enjoyable. Outdoor gyms are a proven strategy for activating communities.

What are the additional benefits of outdoor workouts?

With outdoor fitness stations and cardio equipment, numerous benefits are immediately available. Fresh air increases the flow of oxygen, improving blood pressure and heart rate. This additional airflow also assists the digestive system, making it more efficient and aiding in dieting. Utilising outdoor fitness equipment in parks plays a key role in creating healthy communities, helping users support their individual fitness goals alongside fellow participants. Being outside, especially among like-minded people, inspires a more active mindset, even when returning indoors. Just ask a school teacher how much easier it is to conduct a class after recess! More oxygen improves brain performance, concentration skills, and provides more energy. Additionally, being outside on a sunny day helps produce vitamin D, a necessary nutrient for optimal health and immune support.

On a basic health level, oxygen and fresh air help white blood cells fight bacteria and germs, dilating the lungs and assisting in cleaning them. Outdoor fitness equipment in public parks can also contribute to making people happier! Endorphin levels increase when we are out in the open. An American study indicated that stress levels were reduced by 71% by simply walking in nature.

The health benefits of outdoor fitness systems continue to be revealed, and it’s now easier than ever to create healthy outdoor spaces using flexible, durable, and suitable outdoor fitness equipment for all fitness levels. You can easily combine KOMPAN's top-quality commercial outdoor fitness equipment to design solutions ideal for your community. Even if you want the equipment to fit into a natural environment or bring nature into an urban environment, you can achieve this with our Robinia Wood fitness products.

Across the globe, more people are heading outdoors to exercise, which has led Australian councils, schools, planners, and policymakers to find solutions to meet the increased demand for open-air gyms.

Designed to support healthier and happier communities, KOMPAN's outdoor fitness equipment features adjustable resistance to suit users of all ages and fitness levels. Our extensive range of standard fitness products includes stationary cardio, strength training machines, cross-training, calisthenics, obstacle courses, multi-sports courts, rehabilitation, and senior equipment, all suitable for public and private playscapes.

Choosing the right outdoor fitness equipment

Globally, people are moving outdoors to be active. In recent years, this trend has increased in Australia, where local governments, communities, sports clubs, developers, and schools are building outdoor fitness stations and sports parks for their communities. Carefully selecting the right combination of training equipment and surfacing allows for hundreds of different exercises and programs for all fitness levels, making it possible for everyone to stay active and healthy.

Commercial gyms now want to allow their members to exercise outdoors with equipment that offers truly challenging and meaningful workouts. For sports clubs looking to motivate their members, consider adding sideline warm-up cardio equipment.

For local governments and developers who want to make outdoor fitness available to their communities, KOMPAN offers a variety of solutions such as cardio, street workout, strength, and multi-use games areas.

There's also an increasing need for purpose-built fitness stations that encourage seniors to live an active lifestyle, particularly with our ageing population. Senior living developments should consider including designated outdoor mobility exercise equipment for their residents.
