A Beautiful City With An Exceptional Quality Of Life
The City of Westminster describes itself as “a beautiful city with an exceptional quality of life”. In the past two years, the quality of life has at least somewhat suffered for many of us. However, the trend towards becoming fitter and healthier has never been bigger. The increased demand for an outdoor workout space drove the decision to add a MoveStrong FitGround system for outdoor fitness and training in 2021 after the city had been thinking about further fitness offerings for their community. They canceled their original plans for an indoor basketball court and contacted MoveStrong’s founder Jared.
“We had a very clear vision of what we were looking for. MoveStrong did a great job turning it into actual plans and helping us stay within our budget.”
Within the process, the City made several adjustments to the original plan. Since the training systems are 100% customizable, MoveStrong had plenty of alternative suggestions to fit Westminster’s location, budget, and ideas. Together with MoveStrong the City of Westminster designed and developed a FitGround layout that encompasses several individual training stations along with the T-Rex FTS (Functional Training Station). They also allocated space for sprint, speed, and agility training. After four weeks the final equipment was chosen, and the layout was planned out. Installation began on a short time commitment but went without any problems.
The site first opened in wintertime, when it’s mostly used by individual guests. Functional fitness and calisthenics are paramount. More than 20 training features and accessories allow for a completely individual configuration of the course. A broad variety of equipment for the upper body, lower body, and core provides a great opportunity for a full-body workout, that leaves users fitter, stronger and happier.
We were looking for an outdoor fitness area for functional group training. Many of the Rec center members enjoy the boot camp classes with instructors guiding through the exercises. It turned out great and orientations and classes are in high demand. I have not been able to use it all that much yet, but I hope I will be very soon. Personally, I love the variety. My favorite equipment is stall bars and P-bars. Really the only change we want to make is adding some shade, so everyone can use the site all year round. - Mandy Lauer, Rec Center Manager
Once the weather improves, the City of Westminster hopes to offer more fitness classes with professional staff. The MoveStrong FitGround for outdoor fitness and training is not only for individual adults who want to improve their strength and endurance but is also a perfect choice for any kind of boot camp style workout.
Everything is adjustable to the uniqueness of the people using it – unlimited fun and fitness outside all year round. Healthy living, healthy eating, healthy exercising: MoveStrong is a great addition to any existing wellness offerings for communities, schools, parks, and even backyards.
