Fresh Air Fitness provide a dynamic and exciting fitness zone at Ford UK’s flagship Dagenham site as part of Ford’s mission to support staff happiness and productivity through fitness and wellbeing initiatives.
Ford's Welfare Team were seeking an outdoor fitness solution to meet their mission of supporting staff happiness and productivity through fitness and wellbeing initiatives. Providing staff with access to an outdoor gym supported this perfectly and so they approached Fresh Air Fitness for the right solution.
The new outdoor gym needed to offer true variety, look dynamic and be fun to use as well as offering staff a full body workout, regardless of fitness level or ability.
The equipment had to include cardiovascular, strength, and resistance pieces to offer the full range of fitness options.
Each piece required clear, permanent signage with instructions for use and workout suggestions.
The new outdoor gym provision needed to encourage team building, social integration, accessibility and inclusion, where colleagues could get together and enjoy all the health benefits of exercise outdoors in the fresh air.
Fresh Air Fitness worked with Ford UK to design, manufacture and install a fantastic 14-piece gym with a full mix of cardio, strength, and resistance equipment. The gym included the following fitness pieces:
