TRAINER Parallel Bars - Pylon-Mounted Outdoor Fitness Unit

The TRAINER Parallel Bars are a pylon-mounted outdoor fitness unit measuring 185.6 x 55 x 153 cm, weighing 50 kg and certified to EN 16630:2015-06 by TUV Rheinland. Rated difficult, they bring gymnastic-level upper-body work, dips, support holds and swing-throughs, to parks and health trails.

The advanced upper-body station of the OutdoorFit range

Parallel bars demand that the user carry full bodyweight on locked arms. Exercises performed on them strengthen the arms and chest, engage the abdominals throughout every support position and improve the muscular condition of the back. Because the difficulty is rated hard, the station gives experienced users a real target within a public circuit, while beginners can build towards it on easier stations first.

Pylon-mounted installation

The unit mounts on a support pylon or load-bearing wall, with the fixing accessory sold separately, like the other OutdoorFit modules. This keeps the module price low and lets a project share pylons between machines where the layout allows. Light In Fitness confirms the pylon count during the layout study.

Construction and finish

• Colourways: yellow (RAL 1018/7004), graphite (RAL 7016/9006), orange (RAL 2000/9006), lime (RAL 6018/9006); other shades on request

Specifications

Maintenance and service life

The combination of shot-blasting, galvanising and a double polyester coat is what keeps a public station presentable years into service: the zinc layer protects the steel even where the coating takes impacts, and the polyester topcoat resists UV fading. Routine care is limited to periodic inspection of fixings and contact surfaces, standard practice for EN 16630 installations, with no repainting cycle to budget. For heavily used sites, spare-part availability through Light In Fitness means a damaged bar or fixing is replaced rather than the station written off, protecting the initial investment over the long term.

Frequently asked questions

How do these differ from a ground-anchored dips station?

The parallel bars are longer and pylon-mounted, supporting travelling movements, walks, swing-throughs and turns, in addition to static dips. They are also rated difficult, whereas compact dip stations target a medium level.

Which muscles do parallel bars train?

Arms and chest primarily, with constant abdominal engagement to hold the support position and significant back involvement on swings and transitions. Few outdoor stations load the upper body as completely.

Is the pylon included in the price?

No. The fixing accessory is sold separately. Ask for a project quotation so pylons, modules and installation are priced together for your layout.
