Moneeroe in Kilkenny is where our latest installation has just been completed - an 11 piece Outdoor Gym. The local Community Development group has added our exercise machines next to the Community Centre.
Carefully selecting pieces to cater for all sections of society - from teenagers to GAA teams to the elderly - this facility is receiving very positive feedback with some local GAA teams already booking sessions in the Outdoor Gym.
A combination of our Deluxe and Standard pieces were chosen: The Deluxe Cross Trainer, Deluxe Leg Press, Deluxe Air Walker, Deluxe Surfboard and Deluxe Twister were installed, along with the Chest Press, Dip Bars, Seated Puller and 3 Rowing Machines.
The Outdoor Fitness Equipment machines were placed in an area of approximately 10 metres by 10 metres - and the installation of the equipment was undertaken by local contractors, which reduced the total cost of the project for the Moneeroe Community Development Association.
Funding for this project was raised locally, along with a generous LEADER grant. LEADER has part-funded a number of our recent projects, so if you are interested in having Outdoor Exercise Equipment facilities in your community, don't hesitate to contact us, send us a message or visit our Facebook page and we'll answer any questions you may have.
