New openings: Enköping in Sweden

Omnigym encourages to increase in physical activity across Europe.

Omnigym launched the innovative piloting project across Europe to increase people’s activity outdoors. Physical activity is the best medicine to improve people’s well-being of all ages and fitness levels. The six-week free trial period of the piloting project allows municipalities to find out the attractiveness of an outdoor gym. During the test period, the residents can work out with the versatile Omnigym equipment and give feedback.

We are excited to introduce one of the pioneering municipalities that have joined our project and opened an inclusive Omnigym outdoor gym for test use.

Welcome on board Enköping! Why did you choose to take part in Omnigym’s pilot project?

–In the last year, Enköping has started investing in outdoor life and spontaneous sports in which the outdoor gym plays an important part. Now when the opportunity was given to test a new concept and a place next to our newly opened bathhouse, there was nothing to doubt. For a limited period, this will be an increased opportunity for us to give our residents the opportunity for active leisure time and share their views.

What is your main goal in completing the test period?

–We want to allow the citizens of Enköping to try this type of outdoor gym and get feedback from them. We also want to test the outdoor gym's location for the future.
