An outdoor fitness area that revitalizes Parc de la Saussaie
In the heart of Saussaie Park, the city of Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur inaugurated an outdoor fitness area designed to encourage free, accessible, and daily sports practice. Developed in partnership with AJ3M and equipped with Herkules Fitness equipment, this facility reflects the municipal commitment to promoting sport for all while enhancing urban green spaces.
This outdoor fitness area is part of a public health initiative, fostering conviviality and revitalizing the town’s natural areas. Thanks to three iconic pieces of equipment — the Leg Press, the Single Walker, and the Double Surfer — residents can now enjoy a modern, safe, and pleasant place to engage in outdoor physical activity.
A user-friendly space for free outdoor movement
One of the main assets of this outdoor fitness area is its accessibility. Located in a green setting, near the park’s frequented paths, it attracts walkers as much as joggers, active seniors, and families out for a stroll.
Outdoor fitness appeals due to its simplicity:
- no subscription,
- no fixed schedules,
- free, intuitive practice open to all.
By promoting spontaneous physical activity, the town encourages healthier habits and helps strengthen cohesion among residents. This space becomes a true meeting place, where sports are practiced gently, in a calming environment.
Three complementary pieces of equipment for a complete outdoor fitness area
The three pieces of equipment chosen by the municipality offer a varied sports experience, suitable for all levels and particularly intuitive.
• Leg Press: strengthen the lower limbs
A true essential in an outdoor fitness area, the Leg Press effectively works:
- the thighs,
- the glutes,
- the calves.
It also helps stimulate blood circulation and strengthen joint stability. The natural resistance of the equipment makes it an ideal tool for maintaining muscle tone.
• Single Walker: ideal for cardio and warm-up
The Single Walker stimulates the cardiovascular system without impact on the joints. This equipment is particularly appreciated by seniors and those returning to activity, as it gently engages the legs and improves coordination.
• Double Surfer: balance, core strengthening, and conviviality
The Double Surfer is a fun piece of equipment designed for two users. It allows you to work on:
- balance,
- core strength,
- movement synchronization.
Beyond its physical benefits, it promotes social connection, an essential element in an outdoor fitness area.
Thanks to these three pieces of equipment, residents can create a complete workout session:
warm-up → muscle strengthening → light cardio → active recovery.
