Training with easily accessible outdoor fitness equipment does not only remove the walls around the fitness centre. It also removes the barriers that cause people to opt out of exercise.
Many Danes lead a sedentary lifestyle, which threatens public health. The best remedy is physical activity, play and experiences – but how do you best inspire others to get moving?
Thousands of Danes have a gym membership that they never use, so more is needed.
The solution is to move the facilities outdoors, where they are visible, free to use and available to everyone around the clock. Outdoor training is motivating, you burn more calories than indoors, and an open-air facility becomes a natural hub for many other physical activities in the local area.
TrainingPavilion – a meeting place for all types of exercisers in self-organised training communities.
The training facilities are an asset to urban spaces, parks and other locations where they are installed. They have strong and signalling value.

Outdoor fitness equipment for training in all kinds of weather
Training can take place in our pavilions all year round, as the equipment is covered and made of galvanised steel with contact surfaces in European oak and a durable polyester canopy.
All our outdoor fitness equipment can withstand the Danish climate, including snow, sleet, rain, wind, cold, heat and sunshine. The equipment can be used day and night. Are you looking for outdoor fitness equipment for your company or municipality?
We have many years of experience in establishing outdoor training environments. Our consultant is happy to assist with the project and provide guidance on the framework for applying for funding for the installation.
Advantages of using outdoor fitness equipment
There are many obvious advantages to using outdoor fitness equipment:
- It makes good sense to move training and exercise outdoors. You burn more calories and are more easily motivated when exercising under the open sky. There are many possibilities with a covered outdoor fitness area, where Danish weather is not a major obstacle.
- Interest in outdoor training is growing. Cardiovascular training such as running and cycling combined with strength training in our pavilion delivers the best results. Even a walk combined with simple everyday exercises in the training pavilion strengthens the body and benefits the health of everyone.
- Everyone – young and old, beginners as well as experienced users – can benefit from training with outdoor fitness equipment.
- There are training opportunities equivalent to a full fitness centre when a group of the three different models of the training pavilion is installed.
Design in constant development
Although we have received a design award, we do not rest on our laurels. The Training Pavilion is continually being developed so we can offer even more variants and training options.
Like our users, we are in constant motion and have developed the Training Column, crossfit-inspired equipment and new outdoor furniture.
Finally, we are working on establishing collaborations with professional trainers who will be affiliated with local training initiatives.
Our app
An app is available for TrainingPavilion, providing exercise instructions and showing the location of the nearest pavilion. Most people bring their smartphone with them, so it makes good sense to integrate it into the training experience.
The TP Pavilion can also be produced and delivered in various other models, supplemented with, for example, a cabinet with lockable compartments for storing personal belongings while exercising.
Only the imagination sets the limits for what we can design, develop and install on our beautiful pavilion.
TrainingPavilion was awarded the Danish Design Prize in 2007
