Let's Fight Fake Fitness

Customers buy and install outdoor fitness sites with the best intentions; to promote public health, but as many suppliers' equipment looks the same, they count the kit rather than make the kit count.

Councils are spending money on kit that looks the part, but there is one BIG problem, it’s FAKE FITNESS.

What is Fake Fitness?

“Equipment or concepts that present themselves as effective training options but do not result in any meaningful physiological effect. For example in the form of cardio or strength training equipment that takes design inspiration from indoor fitness equipment, but is constructed without the same options for adjusting resistance or workload.”

KOMPAN provide REAL fitness solutions

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. 

The KOMPAN Fitness Institute

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.
