Tips on how to build an outdoor gym
Building an outdoor gym is a great way to create a healthy and social meeting place. Here's everything you need to know to get started, from planning the layouts and groundworks to installing and selecting equipment!
Tips for placing and assembling an outdoor gym
When planning to build an outdoor gym, there are several important aspects to consider to create an optimal training environment:
- Location and Surface: What surface is best suited for your outdoor gym? Grass is soft but wears quickly, concrete is durable and easy to install, and gravel is easy to maintain but can move. With our movable platforms, many environments are available where groundwork doesn't have to eat up the budget.
- Surroundings: Keep in mind that shrubs and trees grow over time and should not be placed too close to the gym.
- Natural elements: Use existing environmental features, such as large rocks, trees, and slopes, to integrate the gym into the landscape.
- Exercise equipment: Choose equipment that offer a full-body workout and is suitable for all users.
- Users: Plan for a diverse user base, from beginners to advanced athletes.
- Other suggestions from users in our studies:
- Place other activities in the area, such as a playground,
- Hooks or surfaces for hanging clothes and bags
- Areas for stretching and body weight training
- Access to water
