An outdoor gym amongst the beauty of nature

How do you make an activity park with multiple gym and activity spots accessible for all visitors? At Kypegården in Sweden, they installed an outdoor gym within close proximity of the car park for easy access. It can serve as a final stop after a hike or as the main destination for the outing. The site is used by all visitors, from young adults to seniors, and the outdoor gym equipment makes it safe and comfortable for people with visual or physical impairments to use.

Kypegården chose a forest green colour way to help the activity site blend in with the natural surroundings. By combining equipment recognisable from the indoors with an aesthetically pleasing green environment, visitors to Kypegården are likely to be intrigued by this fitness site.

An effective, full-body workout

What makes the outdoor strength training machines easy to use is the adjustability of the weight and the seats, which mimics the techniques recognised from indoor fitness. The handles accommodate different heights, and each machine has appropriate signage to help users understand how to operate the equipment. The site offers users an effective full-body workout, as the 7 machines cover all major muscle groups. The pull down, chest press, horizontal row and shoulder press cover all angles of pushing and pulling for the upper body. The leg press is effective for large muscles in the lower body, and the sit up and lower back bench activates the core and posterior of the user. Used together, you will experience a workout close to what you know from the indoors, but with the added benefits of the sun and fresh air.
