Over the past 10 years, customers have purchased outdoor gyms with the best intentions - to promote public health and to encourage people to be more active. If we look at many of today’s outdoor gyms, we see some that are used but many stand empty and unused.
Join us in Fighting Ineffective Fitness Together. It’s not a workout if it doesn’t work.
"Ineffective Fitness” is equipment with the same appearance as indoor fitness kit, but which offers no benefits to fitness – the best you can achieve is a light intensity workout. For cardio training to be beneficial, the intensity should be at moderate intensity (more than 50% of the maximum heart rate) or higher. Ineffective Fitness kit can’t offer this, but KOMPAN fitness equipment can.
KOMPAN uses science, with testing in exercise laboratories, and on site testing to verify that we create equipment which is equally as good as or better than what we know from indoor fitness, and with the durability to withstand all the challenges of an outdoor environment.
At KOMPAN, we take great pride in designing and testing our products so they actually have the physiological effects that are associated with the benefits of doing exercise. Take our new cross trainer, we took it into the laboratory where we tested it with scientific methods. We measured heart rate and oxygen intake, all the way from low intensity to very high intensity, plus we stress tested the equipment for resistance to vandalism.
