Veterans Outdoor Gym at Launchpad, Liverpool

Liverpool Gym Installation Supporting Veterans

Sunshine Gym partnered with Launchpad Liverpool to deliver a bespoke fitness project designed specifically for veterans. This Liverpool gym installation provides ex-service personnel with access to high-quality outdoor exercise equipment, helping to support both physical and mental wellbeing.

The project demonstrates how carefully designed outdoor facilities can aid recovery, build resilience, and encourage social interaction for individuals transitioning back into civilian life. The Launchpad charity was founded in 2013 by former members of the military who passionately believe that veterans struggling with transition deserve the nation’s help and assistance.

Veterans Outdoor Gym: Health and Wellbeing Benefits

At the heart of the project is a veterans outdoor gym, equipped with a range of apparatus suitable for building strength, improving cardiovascular health, and encouraging group activity.

The outdoor setting offers additional therapeutic benefits, giving users the chance to exercise in fresh air and natural surroundings. For veterans, this combination of physical training and open space can play an important role in managing stress, improving confidence, and supporting overall wellbeing.

Liverpool Gym Equipment for Specialist Projects

This project adds to Sunshine Gym’s portfolio of Liverpool gym equipment installations, highlighting our ability to adapt designs to specialist needs. Unlike standard public facilities, the Launchpad outdoor gym was tailored to suit veterans, with equipment selected for durability, ease of use, and accessibility.

By creating an inclusive space, the gym supports both independent workouts and group sessions, making it a valuable resource for Launchpad and its community.

Supporting Launchpad Liverpool’s Mission

The installation complements the wider work of Launchpad Liverpool, which provides accommodation and support for veterans as they make the transition to civilian life. By incorporating a dedicated fitness area, Launchpad has expanded its holistic approach to wellbeing, addressing both mental and physical health.

The outdoor gym has become a focal point for community engagement, encouraging veterans to train together, share experiences, and build positive routines.

Long-Term Value of Veterans Gyms

The project reinforces the importance of investing in gyms for veterans across the UK. By delivering a tailored Liverpool gym installation, Sunshine Gym has created a lasting facility that supports health, community, and resilience.

With expertise in designing veterans outdoor gyms, Sunshine Gym continues to work with organisations and charities to provide facilities that address the specific needs of ex-service personnel, ensuring every installation delivers maximum impact.

 

 

Due to limited space, our Space Saver Outdoor Gym Multi-Unit was chosen. Featuring four pieces of equipment combined into one, it maximises the social interaction of the users while using up minimal outdoor space.

The two Slalom Skiers work the upper, lower and core muscles and improve balance and coordination. The Sky Stepper provides an excellent cardiovascular workout for the whole body, while the Horse Rider moves arms and legs in succession allowing for a full body workout.

We installed the equipment, adding Sunshine Gym grass matting to protect the ground and provide a cushioned step on and off the equipment.

The outdoor gym equipment has contributed to a more positive and inclusive environment within the Launchpad, contributing to improved mental well-being among veterans.
