Stainless steel outdoor abdominal bench with Olympic plate loading

This stainless steel outdoor abdominal bench takes Olympic plates, so core training outdoors can be progressively overloaded rather than limited to bodyweight repetitions. The ergonomic design supports work on the rectus, the obliques and the transverse abdominis from a single station.

Adding load is what separates a serious core station from a bench that quickly becomes too easy. With plates from 5 kg to 60 kg in 5 kg increments, the same unit serves a first attempt at a weighted crunch and a trained user working near the top of the range, and it supports both static holds and full weighted flexion.

The frame is high quality stainless steel, unaffected by rain, humidity and UV, with a comfortable seat and a stable chassis that holds position during intensive sets. Cleaning is a wipe down, which matters for hygiene on equipment where users lie in direct contact with the pad.

Technical specification

Planning the ground area

The declared safety zone is 20.31 square metres against a footprint of 213 by 96 centimetres. Planning around the footprint alone is the classic error on outdoor gym projects, and it usually surfaces only when the layout is checked for compliance, so the safety zone should be reserved on the site plan from the outset.

The bench is specified for outdoor strength parks, public sports spaces and high specification private installations. Anchoring, impact attenuating surfacing and the position relative to neighbouring stations are established during the layout study. Light In Fitness manufactures the range and installs across France, with Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg covered as standard and export quoted per project.

Frequently asked questions

Can it be used without plates?

Yes. The bench functions as a conventional core station for bodyweight crunches and planks, with plates added as users progress. That range is what keeps a single unit relevant to a mixed public.

Where are the plates kept?

Plates are quoted separately and are usually stored on a rack adjacent to the station. We advise on the appropriate quantity and storage arrangement with the layout study.

What grade of stainless steel is used?

The structure is stainless steel with a lifetime warranty against corrosion. For coastal or chlorinated sites, confirm the exact grade with our technical team when requesting the quotation, since the specification varies across the outdoor range.
