Why Outdoor Gym Equipment?

Consider the great sports of the world - football, soccer, tennis, baseball, golf. What do they have in common?  They are all played outdoors! Fresh air is an invaluable asset in making the body perform better, a natural partner to exercise and feeling good.

Sure, you can get fit in a gym, or you can take your workout to the next level with the added benefits only nature can provide. With KOMPAN's outdoor fitness equipment, participants enjoy the additional benefits of sunshine, fresh air, and connecting with your community. Our fitness planning page breaks down how to build an outdoor gym.

KOMPAN’s extensive range of commercial outdoor exercise equipment is the result of collaborative research between leading fitness experts and the KOMPAN Fitness Institute, our in-house team of exercise experts. They have taken their observations, studies and recommendations to engineers who have developed the first series of outdoor gym equipment that performs just as well as an indoor version. An added bonus, the products are supported by the KOMPAN Sports and Fitness app which helps guide, mentor and measure performance.   

Health Benefits of an Outdoor Gym

The benefits from exercising at an outdoor gym are instant. Fresh air increases the flow of oxygen, improving blood pressure and heart rate. Additional air flow also assists and improves the digestive system. Utilizing outdoor fitness equipment for adults goes a long way in creating healthy communities by helping athletes work on their individual fitness goals alongside others. Being outside alongside like-minded people inspires a more active mindset, and that boost sticks around once you're back indoors. Just ask schoolteachers how much easier lessons are after recess! More oxygen leads to better brain performance, improves concentration skills and provides more energy. In addition, time outdoors on a nice day provides a vitamin D boost from the sun, a necessary nutrient for optimal health and immune support!

All that oxygen and fresh air help white blood cells do their job by fighting bacteria and germs, dilating the lungs and helping to clean them. Outdoor fitness equipment in public parks can also help make people happier! Endorphin levels increase when we are out in nature. A US study indicated that stress levels dropped by 71% from a simple walk outside.

We continue to uncover the health benefits of outdoor workout equipment. Today, it is easier than ever to create healthy spaces utilizing outdoor exercise equipment that is adjustable, durable and suitable for all levels. You can easily combine KOMPAN's top quality commercial outdoor fitness equipment to design solutions that fit your community.
