Prince Albert, Sk. - When the Party City Outdoor Gym at the Alfred Jenkins Field House opens to the public next spring, residents will be able to experience a work-out circuit like no other! The gym, located south of the Field House features circuit training and Fitcore Extreme equipment.
The 7,000 square foot facility which is designed for use by people over the age of 13, includes traditional workout equipment and advanced elements similar to ones featured on reality television shows like “Ninja Warriors”. The gym features a rubber safety sport turf surface, under shade structures to protect users from the sun. There will be lights so it can be used in the evenings and security cameras.
Traditional HealthBeat elements in the circuit include: Ab Crunch/Leg lift machine, assisted rowing/push-up station, balance steps, cardio stepper, chest and back press, elliptical machine, pull up/dip bar, squat press and a chinning bar set up so people can attach other fitness equipment to it. Advanced, FitCore Extreme elements in the Party City Outdoor Gym are: Ledge Hanger, Spiderwalk, Quituple Steps, Jump Hang, Globe Grasp, High Step, Rope Climb and Over Under Bars. Including all of the elements in a circuit format, this gym is the only one of its kind in Canada.
The Party City Outdoor Gym was supported by a $300,000 donation from Malcolm Jenkins, with the remainder of the $554,000 project funded by the City of Prince Albert.
Originally scheduled to be open this past summer, a delay was encountered with some additional engineering that was required. The facility will open in spring, 2022 and is designed for year-round use. There will be programming at the facility through the Alfred Jenkins Field House, but it will be open and free to use at all other times.
