What are the safety features of a children's outdoor gym?

Sunshine Gym designs and installs a large variety of Children’s Outdoor Fitness Equipment for the specific use of those under 140cm / 4’ 7”. This range of fitness equipment is designed with safety in mind. We ensure that all of our equipment is tested to the same high standards as our Adult Outdoor Gym Equipment, for peace of mind that our equipment includes the same safety features to protect the users.

To ensure that every outdoor gym is as safe as possible, we make sure that there is a clear 1.5m safety zone around the extreme measurement of each piece of outdoor fitness equipment. While these zones can overlap between units, no two pieces are ever placed closer than 1.5 metres. This thoughtful approach reduces the risk of accidents, supports safe and independent use, and creates a secure, well-organised outdoor setting where children can enjoy physical fitness and outdoor act with confidence.

What are the benefits of a children's outdoor gym?

Supporting the health and fitness of our children has never been more important. With a yearly increase in obesity statistics, it is vital for schools to play a role in encouraging pupils to lead a more active and healthy lifestyle.

Sunshine Gym’s range of both single and multi-user outdoor fitness equipment for kids is the perfect way to promote a love of exercise. That’s not to mention both the social and communication benefits too.

Do outdoor gyms for children build physical literacy?

Physical literacy is based around five main elements: enjoyment, confidence, competence, understanding and knowledge. The more of these a child experiences, the more likely they are to remain active and engaged. Our primary school gym equipment helps pupils develop physical literacy through engaging, accessible outdoor workout that feels more like play than PE.

Our multi gym equipment designs make it possible for pupils of all ages, abilities to come together and motivate and encourage each other to work out and enjoy the feel-good factor which comes from working out.
