A Street Workout Area to Revitalize Argentan
In Argentan, in Orne, the municipality decided to invest in an ambitious project: the creation of a modern, accessible street workout area designed for all residents. Designed and installed by Herkules Fitness, this facility fully aligns with the city’s commitment to promoting outdoor sports, encouraging an active lifestyle, and strengthening social cohesion.
Located in the heart of the town, this sports area perfectly embodies the spirit of urban sports: free, open to all, and available without time constraints. Thanks to the combination of a complete street workout station, outdoor fitness equipment for adults, and a play area dedicated to children, Argentan now boasts a unique intergenerational facility, designed to energize local life.
A Street Workout Area Designed for All Ages and All Levels
The Argentan project stands out for its commitment to inclusivity. The objective was clear: to offer a space where every resident can engage in physical activity according to their abilities and desires. To achieve this, three complementary zones have been installed, each addressing a specific need.
The Street Workout Station: The Heart of the Facility
At the center of the project is a complete street workout area, designed for calisthenics enthusiasts, bodyweight training practitioners, and athletes seeking to push their limits.
It includes:
- parallel bars,
- fixed bars,
- dip stations,
- modules for pull-ups, push-ups, squats, acrobatic movements.
This station attracts a varied audience: young street workout enthusiasts, adults looking to strengthen themselves, and seasoned athletes seeking an outdoor training location.
Outdoor Fitness Equipment for Complementary Training
Around the station, several pieces of outdoor fitness equipment offer adults the opportunity to work on their mobility, cardio, and muscle strengthening. These pieces of equipment provide accessible, safe training, ideal for maintaining regular physical activity.

A Children’s Zone to Engage the Youngest
To encourage movement from an early age, the project also includes a Kids’ zone. These fun and safe pieces of equipment allow children to play while developing their motor skills, balance, and coordination.
This intergenerational approach strengthens the family use of the sports area.

By bringing together these three spaces in one area, Argentan offers a truly inclusive sports venue, designed to welcome all generations.
An Accessible, Safe, and Inclusive Space for All
Argentan’s new street workout area was designed to be an open and accessible space. Pathways are wide, surfaces are non-slip, and several pieces of equipment can be used from a seated position or in a wheelchair.
This approach reflects the municipality’s commitment to promoting inclusion, public health, and equitable access to sports.
The site is freely accessible, with no registration or cost for users. Everyone can practice whenever they wish: early in the morning, during lunch breaks, or at the end of the day. This freedom helps embed physical activity into residents’ daily lives.
Community Spirit at the Heart of the Street Workout Area
The facility is not limited to simple sports equipment: it has become a true living space. Children play, parents train, and seniors maintain their mobility in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.
This mix of ages and profiles creates a strong local dynamic. Interactions multiply, athletes help each other, and group sessions are spontaneously organized.
The street workout area becomes a space for sharing, positive energy, and collective motivation.
Its proximity to the city center further enhances its attractiveness: it is ideal for a sports break between two activities or for a family outing.
A Model of an Active and Committed City
With this achievement, Argentan establishes itself as an active, innovative, and well-being-oriented city. By focusing on an intergenerational street workout area, the municipality contributes to health promotion, strengthening social ties, and enhancing its public space.
