Fitness Trails / Trim Trails, Physical Training (PT) Trails, Gym Trails & Stretch Stations

sportsequip are pleased to have recently added an established and proven range of Steel Outdoor Gym equipment to our Outdoor Fitness Equipment section to supplement our existing Timber Fitness Trails.

As a general rule of thumb the Steel Outdoor Gym Ranges are installed in close clusters whereas our Timber Fitness Equipment are used as a series of individual exercise stations on or alongside a path, jogging trail or around the perimeter of a park or playing field. Timber Fitness Trails tend to sit best into green, rural environments where metal fitness stations can seem out of place. Conversely the more urban and envclosed an environment, the more at home the Steel Outdoor Gym Equipment looks.

The biggest difference between Timber Fitness Trails and metal Outdoor Gym equipment is that the Outdoor Gym equipment has moving parts, whilst our Wooden Stretch Stations, Gym Trails and Fitness Trails are all static and are subsequently all low maintenance units.

Fitness Trails

All the Adult timber fitness trails we offer are are manufactured and installed in the UK by sportsequip. Designed for use by secondary school aged pupils, adults, cadets and the MOD, we have installed many fitness trail and PT courses around the UK.

Any number of different fitness stations can be combined to create a unique trail for your location and we are happy to offer recommendations and guidance to help create your fitness trail. Each station can be signposted with customised instructions and logos indicating correct usage.

All fitness trails are designed to comply with EN16630 (the European standard for Permanently Installed Outdoor Fitness Equipment).

Physical Training (PT) Trails

Physical Training (PT) trails are more challenging than standard fitness trails and provide a more vigorous range of activities for users, from rope climbs to tyre runs. As with the standard fitness trails, any number of exercise stations can be combined to create a custom PT trail to suit your requirements and location.

Our range of timber PT Trails fall outside of the scope of EN16630 due to the size or nature of the exercise stations and are therefore ideally suited to secured sites, such as MOD and cadet training bases.

At sportsequip.co.uk we regard our fitness and physical training trails as specialised pieces of adult sports equipment and not just as up-scaled pieces of children's play equipment.

References for our previous fitness trail installations are available upon request.

Stretch Stations™

Stretch stations™ are suitable for all ages and abilities and offer gentle stretching exercises to help users warm muscles and improve mobility. Stretch Stations™ are securely mounted instructive and illustrated signs that can be installed on their own along a route, or to complement and add more depth to a new or existing sportsequip.co.uk fitness trail.

Stretch Stations™ do not require additional fixed equipment.

All Stretch Station™ boards can be customised to include site names, sponsor logos and crests. Please contact us for more information.

Gym Trails™

Ideal for use in conjunction with Fitness Trail and PT Trail stations, Gym Trails™ offer low impact and low level exercises, eliminating the risk of a fall from height. Gym Trails™ provide a wider range of exercises for a trail. Our Illustrated Gym Trail signage boards provide users with suitable workouts that can be adjusted for individual levels of fitness.

Gym Trail boards are suitable for most locations and can be installed alongside new or existing sportsequip.co.uk Fitness and PT Trails. Gym Trail ™ exercise boards can be customised with site names, logos and sponsor information as required.
