New Gym Installation at Burton on the Wolds Primary School, Loughborough

Children’s Waist Twister Installed for School Fitness

Sunshine Gym was appointed to deliver a new gym in Loughborough for Burton on the Wolds Primary School, giving pupils access to fun, engaging outdoor exercise equipment. Central to the installation was the addition of a children’s waist twister, designed to promote balance, coordination, and core strength in a safe and enjoyable way.

The project highlights the growing role of outdoor fitness solutions in schools, where equipment can be used to complement PE lessons, playtime activity, and wider health initiatives.

A New Gym for Loughborough Schools

The installation at Burton on the Wolds reflects Sunshine Gym’s commitment to providing age-appropriate facilities that inspire children to be active. By creating a new gym in Loughborough, the school now offers an outdoor learning environment that supports both physical and social development.

Unlike traditional indoor gyms, the equipment is designed specifically for younger users, ensuring safety and accessibility while still delivering a variety of fitness benefits.

Focus on Children’s Fitness and Wellbeing

At the heart of the installation is the children’s waist twister, a versatile piece of equipment that helps pupils strengthen their core muscles while developing flexibility and coordination. Its playful design ensures that children remain engaged, making fitness a natural and enjoyable part of their day.

By combining fitness with fun, the equipment encourages pupils to build healthy habits from an early age, supporting lifelong wellbeing.

Supporting Schools in Burton-on-Trent and Beyond

While this project was focused on Burton on the Wolds Primary School, Sunshine Gym’s expertise extends across the region, including gym Burton-on-Trent installations and wider school-based projects. Our team works closely with educators to ensure every outdoor gym design reflects the needs of pupils and complements existing facilities.

By investing in durable, high-quality equipment, schools can create sustainable outdoor learning environments that add long-term value for students and staff alike.

Long-Term Value for Education Settings

The installation demonstrates how outdoor gyms can enrich the school environment, supporting active play, structured exercise, and inclusive participation. For Burton on the Wolds Primary School, the new facility has created a dedicated space where children can enjoy fitness together, boosting both physical health and social interaction.

Sunshine Gym continues to work with schools across the UK to design and install equipment such as the children’s waist twister, helping educators promote healthier, more active lifestyles.

The motto for Burton-on-the-Wolds Primary School is "Inspire, Nurture, Flourish”, and that’s exactly what the school aims to do. 

Our Double Health Walker allows two children at any one time to set their own pace in a light cardiovascular workout.

The Double Slalom Skier makes it fun for children to get their heart rates up whilst swinging from side to side, enjoying the outdoor setting. The Children’s Waist Twister is a great warm up piece of equipment that promotes social interaction and flexibility.

All the new outdoor gym equipment was installed on high-quality grass matting that can withstand heavy footfall whilst keeping the grass underneath intact.

Sunshine Gym efficiently installed the outdoor gym equipment during the half-term break to minimise disruption to the school day and provide the students with new equipment upon their return.

As part of the project, a new modular tower from Hand Made Places (a division of Broxap) was also installed – click here to see the full case study.
