Burgess Hill Academy delighted with their Fresh Air Fitness ‘All Stars’ Outdoor Gym Package!

Burgess Hill Academy Outdoor Gym

The Background

Burgess Hill Academy School wanted to build an outdoor gym which could be used by pupils of the school to enhance their health and fitness regardless of individual sporting ability or fitness levels.

Burgess Hill District Lions Club kindly donated the funds to help put the school’s mission into action.

Fresh Air Fitness was chosen to project manage the gym build and offered its end-to-end service from initial site inspection, to product selection, manufacture, delivery, installation and a range of teaching tools including a free app and video demonstrations.

The Challenge

Burgess Hill Academy School motto is 'Believe in your best', and it is designed to encourage all students to dream big and strive to achieve excellence in everything that they do – including sport and exercise.

Their outdoor gym had to excite and engage the pupil community with the goal to turn idle breaks into active experiences, and the Fresh Air Fitness staff worked with the school to choose state-of-the-art gym equipment to meet that brief.

The Solution

Burgess Hill Academy selected the ‘All Stars Secondary School Package’ as it provided an excellent all in one solution including all fixtures and fittings, delivery and installation. The package incorporates 5 separate pieces of equipment enabling 10 users to use the equipment at the same time.

The package includes:

Rider - Like a rower, but in an upright position. Users push with their legs whilst simultaneously pulling with their arms against resistance, moving their entire body up and down. Users can set their own pace, going as fast and slow as they choose, to build cardiovascular strength, stamina, and muscle tone.

Triple Pull Up – A static pull up frame that provides strenuous exercise for arms and shoulders. Users can perform pull-ups, chin-ups and hanging leg raises to strengthen and build muscles in their arms, back and shoulders. 6 handles allow 3 people to exercise simultaneously or to compete.

T'ai Chi Spinners - Easy-to-use, the wheels move independently allowing arms to work clockwise or anticlockwise, excellent for mental agility. Designed to improve circulation and offer a great warm-up for flexibility and coordination in wrists, arms, and shoulders.

Air Skier - specially designed to improve flexibility, core strength and cardio fitness. Suitable for all abilities, users can set their own pace, gently or vigorously swinging side to side. Fun and engaging for all ages.

Seated Leg Press - A simple, classic piece of equipment. Once seated, users simply push with their legs to move their seat away with control from the frame. An excellent work-out for thighs and hips without any of the risks to the knee joints associated with traditional squats. Provides an excellent workout for thighs, hips, and buttocks.

This package came with a 20% discount on the pieces purchased individually - all for just £5,750 including delivery and installation.

The Feedback

“We are delighted to provide the outdoor gym as part of the 'Outdoor Classroom Project', which integrates maths and English learning through gardening experiences. The launch event was a great success, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try out one of the new pieces of gym equipment. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with the academy and wish them continued success.” Christine Muschamp, President of The Burgess Hill District Lions
