Schools
The idea is to encourage a continuation in outdoor exercise, from the climbing frame in primary schools, to the outdoor gym in secondary, junior high and high schools. As part of the extended schools agenda we would encourage schools to make these facilities accessible to the wider community outside of school hours. This would enable not only school children to benefit but also the wider community.
We know obesity is becoming more prevalent in early ages. Outdoor fitness equipment can leverage your existing facilities and offer a solution to this problem. Children love our equipment, it is the Gym they always wanted to go to without the wieghts. Our units are brilliantly designed for ease of use. Our units do not use weights for resistance, but rather one’s own body weight which dramatically reduces the risk of injury.
GreenGym Company provides a cost effective, low maintenance and highly accessible facility that can be rolled out in your schools existing playground. Our goal is to provide an outdoor fitness experience that meets the needs of your school.
GreenGym is unique in many ways when it comes to budgeting:
- Our prices are moderate, fair and affordable. (Starting at $12,450 for 5 units which can represent up to 10 working stations)
- You don’t need to spend hundreds of thousand of dollars like you spend on traditional playground installation, skateboard parks and aquatics facilities. When your budget is limited GreenGym is the affordable way to quickly make noticable improvements to greenspace in your school yrad and instantly make an impact in the lives of your students and community members.
- GreenGym parks are ground level and do not require extra surfacing costs. They can be easily installed in your existing ground.
- Installations are quick (1 day) and affordable and in many cases we can train your maintenance staff to install the equipment themselves and maintenance costs are minimal.
- The units can be installed with special male/female structure so you can easily remove them from place to place or use them indoors during winter time. Multiple use enables you to justify the spending based on usage through the year.
- GreenGym parks encourage and faciliate multi-generational usage. Different from other age related parks and facilities such as playgrounds and skateboard parks that target mainly children and youth, GreenGym facilities are for everyone. We have a variety of units that can be used by ALL members of your community, including children as young as 6 years old. It means that with the same budget many more people, from all different ages, generations and fitness enthusiasm levels can enjoy the facility. In other words, ALL the members of your community can enjoy GreenGym parks.
- Installing GreenGym in your existing parks will instantly increase the number of hours the playground is in use and the number of community members who make use of the playground.
GreenGym fitness parks are truly a unique concept as there are not many other, if any at all, outdoor fitness equipment that can provide such a wide range of usage. In the last several years outdoor fitness parks installed in schools around the world have shown large participation rates by all ages whether during breaks or gymnasium classes.
GreenGym parks will maximize your investment for the benefit of all your students and community members. It is a healthy and affordable investment.
To prevent the teenage drop off in physical activity, GreenGym mission is to become a
part of an ‘Extended Schools Agenda’ to install outdoor gyms on school sites.
