Multifunction outdoor training station with roof

The multifunction outdoor training station with roof shelters both the equipment and its users, which is the single most effective way to keep an open air fitness area in use through the year. Several bodyweight workstations are grouped under a canopy integrated into the structure itself. The area stays usable in the rain and shaded in hot weather, and both directly affect how often it is used. The list price is 7,999 EUR excluding VAT.

Structure and canopy are executed for permanent outdoor exposure, with maintenance limited to cleaning and a periodic check of the fixings. The station is dimensioned for professional use, whether access is free or supervised.

Technical specification

Why a canopy changes the economics of an outdoor fitness area

An uncovered outdoor station is unusable in rain and uncomfortable in full summer sun. In most of northern and central Europe that removes a substantial share of the calendar, and the equipment sits idle precisely when a local authority is being asked to justify the investment. A roof does not add training functions; it adds usable days, which is a different and more valuable thing.

The effect is most marked on sites where attendance is the metric. Municipalities want a neighbourhood facility that stays busy in autumn and winter. Campsites and holiday villages want equipment usable across the whole season rather than only in fine weather. Hotels and resorts gain a shaded premium training area, which reads as a comfort feature rather than a piece of municipal kit. Campuses gain a covered space students can use between lectures.

On a freely accessible site, EN 16630 applies to the equipment and EN 1177 to the surfacing, with the thickness set by the free fall height. The canopy also changes the surfacing calculation in a useful way, since a sheltered area drains and dries differently from an open one; Light In Fitness recommends bonded rubber gym flooring tiles of 40 to 65 mm and confirms the specification in the layout study.

Frequently asked questions

What does the roof actually cover?

The canopy is integrated into the structure and shelters the grouped workstations and the users beneath them. Rain protection and summer shade are the two design objectives.

Does the roof affect the foundation requirements?

A canopy adds wind loading, so the anchoring is designed accordingly. The foundation detail and the anchor bolt setting out are issued with the layout study rather than assumed from a standard drawing.

What are the overall dimensions?

Dimensions and the safety zone are supplied with the free site layout study, since they depend on the workstation arrangement retained. Light In Fitness manufactures in Tours, has supported more than 500 sites since 2013, installs across France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg, and returns quotations within 24 working hours.
