Workout Equipment For All Abilities

Dartford Borough Council approached KOMPAN to design and install a state of the art outdoor gym facility to replace an existing underused and poor quality gym. They had visited a couple of our previous installations in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and were suitably impressed.

The equipment that we selected allows users of all ages and abilities to have a full body workout, including low and high-intensity cardio as well as strength, flexibility, mobility, balance and callisthenics. The dedicated cardio equipment (cross-trainer, bike, arm bike) have the ability to adjust the resistance. The on-screen information and app integration allow users to monitor their performance as well as challenge themselves and plan their progress. The magnetic kettlebells and individual strength machines allow users to work all muscle groups and by selecting different weights, people of all different ages will be able to have a successful workout.

“It’s a fantastic installation for us, just what we wanted. Remember we live in stressful times, equipment like this can be really good for people's mental health. They come down alone or part of a group. In the morning people use it as part of their prework fitness ritual, during the daytime people use it for moderate fitness. We even have classes using it for some serious fitness work. There’s the social element, there’s the element of fitness, there’s the element of being in the outdoors. So I think it’s one those antidotes to mental health. We are delighted with it. It has been a real success!”

The Final Result

The final installation was completed quickly and on budget, and the feedback from the community has been fantastic. People have been using the equipment regularly and it has encouraged users from different demographics to get fit. The facility is free to use and comes with a dedicated app to instruct users on how to use the equipment and suggested workout routines, which went down extremely well with the local community.
