THE FUTURE OF OUTDOOR GYMS
Outdoor fitness spaces have evolved. Communities no longer want basic exercise stations that offer limited progression or short-term engagement. Feedback tells us that the general public are seeking quality experiences that feel intuitive, inclusive and built to last.
The Resistance Range from Fresh Air Fitness has been designed from scratch to provide exactly that.
19th January 2026
Created by our expert team in the UK, the Resistance Range brings the performance and progression of an indoor gym into outdoor environments. With adjustable weight stacks, easy-to-use controls and durable construction, this range gives councils, schools and developers a reliable way to create high value fitness spaces that genuinely supports long term health and wellbeing.
Whether installed as a full outdoor gym or as individual pieces within a wider scheme, the Resistance Range offers a practical solution for modern public fitness.
Our team has designed an information leaflet which provides a clear and practical overview of the new Resistance Range, showcasing how each piece of equipment brings gym quality performance to outdoor spaces.
Inside, you will find detailed product information, key benefits and guidance on how the range supports accessible, long lasting community fitness.
The leaflet has been designed for reading on-the-go, or it can be printed and shared with colleagues just as quickly and easily.
The Resistance Range includes a carefully selected mix of strength and cardio equipment, allowing users to train effectively regardless of experience or ability.
Strength equipment includes:
Cardio equipment includes:
Together, these products provide a holistic workout focusing on various training styles.
Each piece of equipment mirrors what users would expect to find in an indoor gym, and members of the public can use the outdoor gym for FREE, at a time that suits them, making the new Resistance Range an extremely valuable local community provision.
One of the key advantages of the Resistance Range is its adjustable weight stack system.
Users can increase or decrease resistance to suit their strength level and training goals.
The weight stacks are fully enclosed for safety and vandal resistance, while clear instruction panels support independent use. This makes the range suitable for beginners, regular exercisers and more advanced users, all using the same equipment.
Research shows that experiencing progression towards our goals is essential for maintaining motivation and delivering real fitness benefits, so by allowing users to challenge themselves over time, the Resistance Range encourages repeat visits and long-term engagement.
Accessibility is built into the design of the Resistance Range.
Equipment is suitable for users 1.4 metres and above, with ergonomic seats, multi grip handles and low impact movement patterns that are gentle on joints.
The Resistance Arm Bike has been specifically designed for wheelchair and non-wheelchair users. Its open access layout allows users to position a wheelchair directly in front of the unit, or to use it from a standing or seated position.
Clear instruction panels ensure the equipment is easy to understand, reducing barriers to participation.
Outdoor fitness equipment must withstand heavy use, changing weather and the realities of public environments.
The Resistance Range has been engineered with durability in mind.
Features include:
All equipment is fully compliant with EN16630 standards and comes with warranty support; structural components are covered for 25 years, with additional guarantees on paint finishes and moving parts.
This ensures excellent value for public investment.
Each piece of equipment in the Resistance Range is designed to cover specific training styles.
The Resistance Range can be installed as a complete outdoor gym or integrated into existing fitness areas, trails or community spaces.
Its slimline footprint makes it suitable for smaller sites without compromising on functionality.
Fresh Air Fitness also offers a full in-house service, supporting projects from consultation through installation and surfacing. This ensures every project is designed to meet the bespoke requirements of every location and there is always expert advice on hand throughout.
The Resistance Range is about more than just the equipment alone. Every Fresh Air Fitness outdoor gym space feels purposeful, inclusive and built for real use.
By combining adjustable resistance, accessible design and long-term durability, we are proud to have created a range that speaks to our user feedback, community need and genuinely bridges the gap between indoor gyms and outdoor environments.
For councils, schools and developers looking to invest in community wellbeing, the Resistance Range offers a proven, future ready solution that supports healthier, more active lifestyles for years to come.
