Keeping exercise fun is especially important when encouraging people to increase their activity levels and maybe even start working out for the first time.
Multi Gyms from Sunshine Gym are all designed to improve the user experience by bringing people together to benefit from exercise.
Socialising in this way not only reduces feelings of loneliness, it helps to reduce stress and anxiety while improving physical health.
The Motiv8 Multi Gym
The Motiv8 is configured to accommodate eight users at any one time. Our high quality safety system means each user operates their equipment individually, enabling them to work out at their own speed and pace however many stations are in use.
The Motiv8 features our most popular cardio equipment – the Health Walker, Slalom Skier, Sky Stepper and Horse Rider.
Each piece of outdoor gym equipment is doubled up to maximise the value. This offers the opportunity for group classes, circuit sessions or the chance for users to have a chat and get to know each other while completing their workout.
Why choose the Motiv8?
The Motiv8 can help communities to achieve a number of goals. These include introducing more people to the benefits of outdoor exercise, encouraging children to stay active to reduce the risk of obesity, offering families the chance to take part in activities together, and opening up social opportunities for those suffering from isolation or loneliness.
The inclusion of a Motiv8 Multi Gym at a park or recreation ground helps to address the new planning and design focus on creating ‘healthy towns’.
And following the coronavirus pandemic, an outdoor gym is a popular choice for those who want to continue with their fitness routines but do not feel comfortable returning to a traditional indoor gym.
Once installed, all Sunshine Gym equipment is free to use removing the cost barrier that prevents some groups being able to access other sports and fitness facilities.
Who can use the Motiv8?
The NHS recommends adults should do some type of physical activity every day which is appropriate to their fitness.
The outdoor gym equipment which features in the Motiv8 Multi Gym is designed to accommodate everybody from beginners to more experienced users.
Using just bodyweight, the intensity of the exercise can be increased or decreased according to ability, enabling users to complete the weekly recommended 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise.
We have two versions of the Motiv8 available – a children’s version built for users under 4’7” tall, and a standard version.
Where can the Motiv8 be installed?
As a Multi Gym, the Motiv8 is designed to maximise the number of exercise stations while reducing the footprint needed if the equipment was installed separately.
This makes the Motiv8 an ideal choice for compact outdoor spaces as well as a good way of extending an existing outdoor gym area.
TheMotiv8 is great for areas of high footfall as it accommodates up to eight users at any one time and is a useful piece of equipment for group or community gym sessions.
Schools can benefit from the Children’s Motiv8, incorporating it into PE lessons or expanding sports capacity by inviting children to use the equipment during lunch and break times.
What other benefits come with the Motiv8?
The focus of the Motiv8 is on cardiovascular activity, raising heart rates and making users breathe faster.
It offers a great moderate intensity workout which can become vigorous if users increase their effort.
It’s great for complete beginners because it is simple to use, with many stations mirroring the equipment found in an indoor gym.
The Health Walker for example is our version of an outdoor treadmill, the Sky Stepper follows the movements of a cross trainer.
The additional benefit of Sunshine Gym equipment is that it is gentle on the joints, so can be incorporated into recovery plans for those returning to exercise following injury or those with a long term health condition.
It is great for helping users to build confidence as well as fitness and with the Slalom Skier and Horse Rider also included in the Multi Gym, the Motiv8 offers a really fun way to keep fit.
