Landscaping an Outdoor Gym

If you're looking to build a supplementary outdoor plyometric-themed gym, then employing a commercial landscape service will help you achieve a well-constructed area with plenty of interesting training stations using various materials for the floor and changes in elevation. Landscape services will be able to take your ideas and create something both aesthetically pleasing and well-built, offering your customers an alternative to indoor training during those days where they would prefer to be outdoors in the fresh air, using primarily body weight exercises. However before building you need to think about what you would like in your outdoor gym, much like you would in an indoor one. 

First and foremost, a commercial landscape service is a company that maintains areas such as parks and public gardens, while often building them and installing things such as lighting and pathways as well. This means they are well versed when it comes to creating suitable outdoor spaces with dedicated irrigation systems and varying levels of elevation. They can take your ideas and make them into reality, much like an interior designer. Ensuring that the space doesn't become waterlogged and doesn't present any safety hazards.

If you're looking to create an outdoor gym you'll want to try and get a variety of different surfaces installed. This will obviously depend on your surface area to begin with; however, a larger grass area will be perfect for outdoor boot camps, as grass provides a soft cushion for various impact-based exercises.

As cage-style gyms are becoming more popular now, it may be worth considering a ruberised surface. Recycled tyres are often used to create a hashed up material that provides a cushioned surface area, popular with outdoor parks. It's cheap to construct, easy to maintain and is perfect for again protecting your clients when they are performing cage-type exercises such as dips and pull ups.

Provided you have the space, you may want to also consider a sprint track using artificial grass. Again, this is low cost, easily maintained and can be utilised for sprinting, tyre flips and sledge pulls. Collaborate with whichever company your work with, as they will be able to help you establish where to place the individual stations in order to make it easy for members to access each of them. For example, you wouldn't want the sprint track to block the main entrance or to have areas of the park without adequate lighting.

About Me

Landscaping With Fruit Trees I love the taste of fresh fruit and have always encouraged my kids to enjoy fruit and vegetables too. When we moved into our new home a couple of years back, we wanted to change the landscaping design to include lots of fruit trees, but I had never grown these trees before. I am so excited to share what I learned about adding fruit trees to our garden. From choosing the right type of tree to the care they need, my blog will help you to become a fruit tree grower too. It does not matter how many trees you plan to plant as just one is all you need to give your family the thrill of producing something healthy.
