"Fresh Air Fitness delivered a highly professional service and maintained excellent communication with us throughout the duration of the project."
Cornelly Community Council was created to represent the local community, acting on behalf of residents to improve and strengthen the facilities with a key focus on the community’s wellbeing.
In order to achieve this, Cornelly Community Council applied to the Community Feasibility Fund to support a consultation and explore potential options for Cornelly Community Park.
After applying for a Resilient Communities Capital Grant, the plans to improve the area went into motion!
Fresh Air Fitness was chosen to deliver a state of the art, outdoor gym zone, to enhance community mental and physical health and offer accessible fitness opportunities for local residents.
Situated in Cornelly Park, Bridgend County Borough, the outdoor gym had to become a place which:
• Encouraged free, accessible exercise outdoors
• Improved community health and wellbeing
• Supported beginners who may not attend a traditional gym
• Provided a space for rehabilitation, mobility work and general fitness
The council was particularly keen to create a space featuring a variety of cardio, strength and resistance outdoor gym equipment so users would be able to enjoy a full body workout.
Additionally, the outdoor gym needed to support local health initiatives, including organised programmes such as Project Malcolm, where community members and students work together to improve their fitness and health.
Fresh Air Fitness designed and installed a fully accessible outdoor gym, which delivers a complete workout for users of all abilities. Suitable for 14 Users at once and featuring our brand new NEW Resistance Bike and NEW Resistance Arm Bike
To celebrate the launch, the Fresh Air Fitness team attended a dedicated opening event and participated in live equipment demonstrations.
Organised sessions including events led by the Bridgend College Rugby Academy Team got booked in quickly, bringing the space to life.
Alongside these fitness events and initiatives, the outdoor gym is completely free to use and due to its all-weather surfacing, it will be open all seasons, 24/7 for the whole community to benefit.
"Fresh Air Fitness delivered a highly professional service and maintained excellent communication with us throughout the duration of the project".
"We selected them based on their 18 years of experience and their specialist expertise in outdoor gym design and installation. They demonstrated a strong understanding of our requirements from the outset, supported by a comprehensive site visit which ensured the facility was tailored to meet the specific needs of our community."
"During the installation phase, their team worked efficiently, conducted themselves professionally at all times, and left the site in an excellent condition on completion."
"The consistent and ongoing use of the outdoor gym is a clear indication of its value and popularity within the local community, even with the local college using it to train people as part of one of their assignments. We would have no hesitation in recommending Fresh Air Fitness to other organisations or community groups considering the development of an outdoor gym facility in their area."
