Description
In brief — Outdoor Stainless Steel Back Extension Bench: dimensions 184 × 60 × 100 cm, standards EN 16630, EN 1177, designed by Light In Fitness in Tours and manufactured in Europe (stainless steel with lifetime warranty), price 1,999.00 € excl. VAT.
A 45-degree back extension bench in 316L marine-grade stainless steel for permanently installed outdoor fitness areas. Price: 1,999 EUR excluding VAT.
The posterior half of trunk training
Outdoor fitness areas almost always provide abdominal work and almost never provide lumbar work. The result is an installation that trains one side of the trunk and ignores the other, which is the imbalance most closely associated with lower back pain. This bench sets the user at 45 degrees, braces the pelvis and guides the extension, making lower-back conditioning available in an open-access setting where it normally is not.
Installed next to a sit-up bench it balances the trunk offering front and back. That pairing is the single most useful specification decision in a small outdoor fitness zone.
Typical clients
| Type of site | Main benefit |

Materials and durability
Stainless steel construction takes permanent exposure without paint or a renewable surface treatment. Maintenance is limited to cleaning and a periodic check of the contact pads. In coastal, chlorinated or salt-laden air, 316L is the grade that determines whether an installation lasts fifteen years or five.

Frequently asked questions
Why install a back extension bench alongside a sit-up bench?
The trunk is strengthened in pairs: front through the abdominals, back through the lumbar extensors. Installing both side by side balances the work and prevents the imbalances that cause pain.
Why stainless steel rather than painted steel?
No paint to maintain, no treatment to renew, and corrosion resistance including near the sea. Over a fifteen-year installation life the maintenance saving is larger than the price difference at purchase.
Do you handle installation?
Yes: siting study, anchoring preparation and installation anywhere in France. Terms are on the quotation, issued free within 24 hours.

Floor area required
- Overall dimensions : 1.84 × 0.60 × 1.00 m
- Equipment footprint : 1.10 m²
- Total area to allow for : 17.4 m²
Total area calculated with a 1.5 m safety zone all around the equipment, the value applied by Light In Fitness under standard EN 16630. A unit installed within a set can share that zone with its neighbours, so a complete area requires less than the sum of the individual figures. We provide the dimensioned layout plan with the quotation. Figures calculated from the dimensions of this reference.

Stainless steel care
Rinse with clean water and a soft sponge two to four times a year depending on exposure; near the sea, a quarterly rinse removes salt deposits. Never use steel wool or chlorine products, which start pitting. Surface rust marks almost always come from external iron particles and are removed with a stainless-steel cleaner.
