A Year Later: How The Linc’s Outdoor Functional Fitness Zone Is Making an Impact
Since The Linc introduced its MoveStrong Outdoor Functional Fitness Zone last summer, the space has become a go-to training area for locals and Lincoln University students. Designed with accessibility in mind, the 38’ x 38’ area offers a mix of agility, strength, conditioning, and mobility stations—making it easy for beginners and seasoned athletes to find routines that fit their goals.
“Looking back at the selection process, I’m still very grateful we chose MoveStrong. At the time, we were comparing MoveStrong with two other bidders, and the feedback we hear most often is how functional and user-friendly the equipment is. It’s not intimidating for beginners and easy to use.”
This focus on functionality shows throughout the space. Agility dots, balance tools, bars, battle ropes, and plyo steps offer plenty of variety, while specialty surfacing and on-ground instructional graphics help members feel confident moving from station to station. QR codes provide additional guidance, another reason the team says they wouldn’t change any part of that decision.
“I’m also glad we added the punching bag. It’s consistently the most-used piece of equipment, so that addition was absolutely worthwhile.”
Beyond the equipment, the support behind it has also stood out. The MoveStrong team has been described as very responsive whenever there were questions or assistance needed.
After a year of planning, design, and now day-to-day use, the Functional Fitness Zone is proving exactly what it set out to be: a versatile outdoor space that encourages movement, builds confidence, and invites the community to train in a way that feels approachable, effective, and fun.
