New outdoor gym for Chesterfield Royal Hospital
A new outdoor gym has been installed at Chesterfield Royal Hospital thanks to the support of Managed Services, part of Travis Perkins PLC.
Now open to the public the new outdoor gym, costing around £24,000 with half paid for by the Chesterfield Royal Hospital Charity, is located in the hospital grounds and features four pieces of equipment. The Stepper provides a cardio workout for the lower body, whilst the Shoulder Press is great for upper body strengthening and toning. Those looking to strengthen their core and upper body can use the Chin Up and Dip and the Arm Curl can be used for strengthening and toning.
Stuart Hough, Managing Director of Managed Services, commented: “We are always keen to help the local communities where we work and so are really pleased to unveil this new outdoor gym. Managed Services is already striving to make cost and efficiency savings for Chesterfield Royal Hospital and we can now hopefully help to improve the health and fitness of local residents too.”
Beverley Webster, Chair of Chesterfield Royal Hospital Charitable Funds Committee, added: “We are really grateful to Managed Services for topping up our charitable funds for the outdoor gym and look forward to continuing to work with them. The gym will really help to improve fitness and well-being for our patients as well as members of the public – it’s open now and free to use so come and pay us a visit!”
