We would highly recommend that all providers take out insurance on their site.  If your site is providing additional facilities in addition to your current facilities, e.g. children’s playground, there should not be any additional cost for insurance.  In any event, the costs are very reasonable, and there are several companies willing to quote.  We have not encountered any situation so far where a group was unable to arrange insurance cover for their gym.  For a list of insurance companies contact us.

We offer all potential providers all advice, information and recommendations that they would need, backed up by more than 10 years’ experience working in the industry. Having discussed the various options and choices available, we can then design your site and produce full site layout plans, instructions, etc.

All of our equipment is installed on concrete pads, some with incorporated bolt-down cages. There is no requirement for soft surfacing.  Obviously, if you are installing a gym around an existing pathway, this will reduce costs as there is no need for the provision of access points or circulation spaces between machines.

The work involved in each site will vary depending on site layout/ground conditions/access/number of machines etc. An average cost of providing a concrete base, designed for the installation of 2 stations, 2 stand-alone machines side by side or a centre pole with a machine either side, would be in the region of €600 to €800.

OUTFIT generally carries a large stock of equipment, and would normally be in a position to deliver and install your equipment within two weeks of your order, subject to site preparation work having been completed.

Yes, most of our equipment is fully interchangeable. All of the moving parts (stations) are fixed to the centre support using nuts and bolts which allows you to have any combination of stations either side of the centre support.  This is particularly advantageous for smaller sites where you wish to give the widest possible choice of exercise to your users at minimum cost.
