Easy to use, the skater is suitable for a wide range of users, from beginners to advanced athletes, and fits perfectly into parks, public spaces or outdoor fitness areas.
Function
Skating offers a multitude of health benefits. It stimulates the cardiovascular system, improving endurance and promoting better blood circulation. By strengthening the muscles of the legs, buttocks and trunk, it contributes to better posture and increased body stability. It’s also gentle on the joints thanks to its non-impact movement, making it suitable for all ages, including seniors and people undergoing rehabilitation. By incorporating this equipment into your regular workouts, you’ll burn calories, develop your coordination and enjoy a physical activity that’s fun and accessible to all.
Use
To use the skater, place your feet on the non-slip platforms and grasp the ergonomic handles firmly. Make alternating movements with your legs, as if you were skating, while keeping your upper body stable thanks to the handles. This fluid, natural movement primarily engages the leg muscles, but also the hips and abdominals to maintain balance. The skateboarder is ideal for warm-up, cardio or endurance sessions, and allows intensity to be modulated according to the speed and amplitude of the movement.

Frequently asked questions about our equipment
Which muscle groups does the skater use?
The skater primarily targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calves during alternate gliding movements. Abdominal muscles and trunk stabilizers are also activated to maintain balance throughout the session, providing a complete lower-body muscle workout.
Is the skater suitable for the elderly or people in rehabilitation?
Yes, the lateral gliding movement without ground impact is particularly gentle on knees, hips and ankles. It is therefore recommended for senior citizens wishing to maintain their joint mobility, as well as for people undergoing functional rehabilitation, provided that medical advice is sought if necessary.
On what type of floor can this equipment be installed?
The skater can be anchored to stable surfaces such as concrete, tarmac or prefabricated foundation slabs. It is recommended to combine its installation with a shock-absorbing floor covering (wood shavings, recycled rubber) to guarantee user safety in the event of a fall and to comply with EN 1177 ground impact standards.
Is this equipment certified for use in public spaces?
Yes, the skateboarder is designed and manufactured in compliance with European standard EN 16630, which governs fitness equipment for permanent outdoor installation. This certification guarantees the structural strength, user safety and durability of the equipment under conditions of intensive and repeated use.
What maintenance is needed to keep the skater in good condition?
Low-maintenance thanks to corrosion-resistant materials. A monthly visual inspection of fasteners, bearings and anti-slip coatings is recommended. Cleaning with clear water and neutral soap is sufficient to remove seasonal deposits. In the event of wear and tear on moving parts, maintenance kits are available from Herkules Fitness.
What is the maximum load supported by the skater?
The skater is sized to support a user load of up to 120 kg, making it accessible to the vast majority of adults. The galvanized steel structure and precision bearings are tested to withstand repeated stress well beyond the normal conditions of use in public spaces.
