Outdoor Fitness Hub at Bentley My Place Youth Hub, Doncaster

Outdoor Gym Equipment for Teens in Doncaster

Sunshine Gym was appointed to design and install an outdoor fitness hub at the Bentley My Place Youth Hub in Doncaster. This project demonstrates our expertise in delivering tailored outdoor gym equipment for teens, encouraging young people to stay active in a safe, accessible environment.

By working closely with local stakeholders, our team created a vibrant fitness area that reflects the needs of the community while supporting wider health and wellbeing objectives in Doncaster.

A Purpose-Built Outdoor Fitness Hub

The new outdoor fitness hub is designed to complement the existing youth facilities at My Place Doncaster. By incorporating a mix of strength and cardio stations, the installation gives young people the tools to build confidence, improve fitness, and enjoy exercising together.

The Bentley site highlights how Doncaster gym design can adapt to suit specific user groups, providing a modern and engaging space for both structured activities and informal use.

Outdoor Gym Equipment for Teens: Encouraging Active Lifestyles

This project places a strong focus on outdoor gym equipment for teens, acknowledging the importance of accessible exercise opportunities for younger age groups. The equipment chosen is user-friendly, safe, and designed to withstand high levels of use, making it ideal for schools, youth hubs, and community centres.

By installing equipment that appeals directly to young people, Sunshine Gym has helped create a resource that promotes lifelong healthy habits and fosters positive social interaction.

Doncaster Gym Design and Installation Expertise

Sunshine Gym’s experience in Doncaster gym installation was central to the success of the Bentley project. Every element of the hub was planned with long-term use in mind, from durable surfacing to safe, inclusive equipment.

The installation demonstrates the value of working with a trusted supplier that understands the specific challenges of designing for youth settings. Our team ensures all projects meet safety standards while delivering engaging, accessible fitness opportunities.

Supporting Bentley and the My Place Community

The new gym has quickly become a landmark facility within the Bentley gym landscape. Situated at My Place Doncaster, it provides a free-to-use alternative to traditional indoor gyms, helping to remove cost and accessibility barriers.

The outdoor fitness hub is now an important part of the My Place Youth Hub offering, reinforcing its role as a centre for community development and youth engagement. By investing in facilities that appeal to teens, stakeholders have enhanced the value of the site for current and future generations.

Long-Term Benefits of Outdoor Fitness Hubs

The Bentley My Place Youth Hub demonstrates how outdoor fitness hubs can support active lifestyles, reduce health inequalities, and create positive outcomes for communities.

With Sunshine Gym’s expertise in outdoor gym equipment for teens, local authorities and community organisations can deliver lasting facilities that are safe, engaging, and designed to meet the needs of younger users.Outdoor space at a popular youth hub has been given a makeover with the addition of outdoor gym equipment, new seating and safety surfacing.

Bentley My Place is a £3 million three-storey youth hub which was developed to create world-class facilities for young people in Doncaster. Working with youth hub owner Doncaster City Council, Sunshine Gym provided a range of outdoor fitness equipment for cardiovascular health. This included a Double Slalom Skier, designed to work the obliques, and a Rower, similar to the rowing machines found in traditional indoor gyms. A Sky Stepper is also part of the equipment line-up, offering a workout similar to a cross trainer, and a wheelchair accessible Arm & Pedal Bike offers total body conditioning.

Recent research from inclusivity charity Make Space For Girls suggests as well as outdoor fitness facilities, more seating is needed to encourage young people to make use of parks and other outdoor spaces.

Doncaster City Council was able to take advantage of Sunshine Gym’s wide range of expertise in the area of outdoor infrastructure as part of the Broxap group of companies to achieve this.

The outdoor gym is complemented by a variety of seating including two Litchard Benches and a Helston Curved Bench. Existing facilities at the My Place centre include a sports hall, music and dance studio, clinic and meeting rooms. Its outdoor space already included social areas and now the outdoor gym brings new purpose to a space at the side of the hub building. As the youth hub features only high-quality facilities, Sunshine Gym was the ideal fit, with the outdoor gym finished with silver outdoor rubber flooring to make the area even more inviting.
