Senior residence
An outdoor space that supports independence
Our residence welcomes independent seniors who have chosen to live in a community while preserving their independence. Here, no medical staff in the strict sense: our residents do not need them. They are active people, who care about their quality of life and maintaining their physical shape as long as possible. It is this resident profile that makes the sports offering particularly important for us.
The motivation was simple and very concrete: we do not have a gym within the residence. However, our residents are dynamic people who want to move and stay in shape. We had to offer them a serious alternative, accessible from outside, without having to leave the establishment. Herkules outdoor fitness equipment met exactly this need — a solution that fits naturally into our green spaces, without heavy work.
We note regular use, of the order of two to three times a week for the most diligent residents. And what is notable is that this practice is done in total autonomy. Our residents do not need guidance or supervision to use the devices — they make the space their own easily, at their own pace. This is exactly what we were looking for: accessible, intuitive equipment that respects the independence of our residents.
Yes, without hesitation. What convinced me was above all the reliability of the equipment: the equipment is robust, it supports regular use without problem. Then, the adaptability of the offer — we were able to choose devices that were truly adapted to the profile of our residents, not an imposed generic solution. And finally, the professionalism of the company in monitoring the project, from the first contact until installation. For a director or owner of an establishment, it is reassuring to work with a reliable contact who keeps his commitments.
Care home director
What are the benefits of a fitness space for a care home?
Creating a sports space for your care home promotes the regular practice of adapted physical activity (APA), recognized for its positive effects on the health of elderly people. Regular use of our equipment helps maintain joint mobility, strengthen postural muscles, improve balance and reduce the risk of falls. On a psychological level, access to an outdoor sports space stimulates well-being, breaks isolation and creates opportunities for social interaction between residents. It is a concrete investment that improves the quality of life in an establishment and enhances your quality approach.
Is the equipment suitable for seniors and residents with reduced mobility?
Yes, our fitness equipment for care homes is selected from our seniors and people with reduced mobility range. They offer gentle to moderate effort levels, with ergonomic movements designed for fragile joints. The grip heights, seats and range of movement are adapted to allow use in complete safety, with or without the help of a caregiver. Compliant with the EN16630 standard, they include all the safety devices required for use by vulnerable groups.
Is this equipment part of an Adapted Physical Activity (APA) approach?
Perfectly. Our outdoor fitness equipment is compatible with the APA protocols put in place by your physiotherapists, APA sports instructors or facilitators. Cross trainer, surfer/walker, piston leg press, twister: each device targets specific functional capacities — cardio, balance, mobility of the lower limbs, flexibility. They allow use in supervised group sessions, or in supervised open access depending on your organization.
How much does a fitness space for a care home cost?
The budget varies depending on the number of units, the surface area and any development work. At Herkules Fitness, we offer modular solutions adapted to the budgetary constraints of establishments. Each project is the subject of a personalized study and a detailed estimate. Contact us to obtain a tailor-made estimate.
Can the layout be personalized according to the profile of the residents?
Yes, absolutely. During the initial study, we analyze your available space, the dependency profile of your residents, the objectives of your care teams and your implementation constraints. Through custom 3D design, we offer a selection of equipment and an optimal layout suited to each establishment. Therapeutic gardens, interior courtyards or terraces: our installations adapt to all types of outdoor spaces.
Does the equipment require a lot of maintenance?
No, our equipment is designed to require a minimum of maintenance. The stainless steel and galvanized steel structures are resistant to bad weather and daily use, with controlled maintenance costs. A regular visual inspection and an annual technical inspection are sufficient to guarantee the safety of residents, in accordance with standard EN16630. Our national after-sales service intervenes quickly if necessary.
What materials are used and how durable are they?
Our equipment is made of 304/316 stainless steel and galvanized steel, with vandal-proof finishes. These materials guarantee excellent weather resistance and optimal long-term durability, without heavy maintenance — ideal for establishments wishing to make a long-term investment. Each installation benefits from a 10-year warranty on the structures.

What is the time between order and installation?
On average, allow between 6 and 8 weeks between validation of the order and commissioning. Our teams support you at every stage to respect the announced deadlines and coordinate the installation while limiting any disruption for your residents and your teams.
Do you provide the technical documents needed for installation?
Yes, we provide all the required documents: 3D plans and visuals, product technical sheets, EN16630 certificates of conformity, CCTP if required as part of a public contract, and documents for the establishment's insurance.
