Why physical activity means so much to me Matt Delaney, Managing Director
For me, sport and physical activity has always been a very important part of my life, helping me learn life skills and build my self esteem. I am keen to pass this on through TGO gyms.
My father was physically active and as a child I watched him play cricket and work out in our small ‘home gym’ consisting of a lat pull down, chest press, bench and leg press. He used to encourage me to train to improve my chances in sports at school.
It certainly helped, I went to a comprehensive school in Bexleyheath and managed to make all the first teams. It is credit to my PE teachers who encouraged me to further my passion and join local clubs.
In my twenties, I decided to focus on basketball and played National league for 10 years at clubs such as Crystal Palace and Kingston and then in my university team at Borough Road.
I have always wanted to share my passion for fitness with others. After university I became a PE teacher in a challenging South London senior school where I taught the Ferdinand brothers. I found sport and fitness a great way to connect with young people and a great way for them to develop self-discipline as well as have fun.
I then joined Sport England and worked my way through the ranks to become the London Regional Director at Sport England where (amongst other things) I was heavily involved in work for the Olympic bid.
The Great Outdoor Gym Company gives me the greatest possible chance to help people do more sport and physical activity. With hundreds of free outdoor gyms already installed we are making physical activity barrier-free for communities all over the world.
Matt with his son Brandon. TGO gyms are places for families to be
positive role models

Looking back at 2012
In 2008, TGO worked with Tier One Olympic sponsor adidas to bring a unique London 2012 branded outdoor gym and sports space to Local authorities parks and open spaces up and down the country. The project was called adiZones.
adiZones gave authorities access to the Olympic logos and a tangible community sports participation legacy. adiZones are gyms and multi sports zones designed in the shape of the 2012 logo, targeting young people into activity, encouraging them to take up a sport.
The adiZones were launched by members of team GB including Jess Ennis, Mo Farah, and Tom Daley. TGO knitted together the demands of the sponsor, the local authority needs and encouraged the multi agency approach to activating the adiZones.
The impact of the adiZones was measured by Nielson showing 73% of under 16 year olds agreed the adiZones helped them become more active in sports and exercise. The results for communities was even better showing 87% saying the adiZone has had a positive effect on their community.
Now around 300,000 people have access to these facilities. This is a great stepping stone for future Olympians.

“TGO’s products are the greenest outdoor gyms on the market”Shown in this picture is a TGO green energy gym that harnesses human energy, turns it into electricity and uses it for lighting.
TGO is not only green in colour, but is revolutionizing fitness with its new technology that recycles human energy. TGO also plants a tree for every piece of equipment it installs.
TGO’s gyms are the safest on the marketTGO is the only company that has removed crush-points, entrapments, sharp edges and other hazards from its range. TGO is the only company to have factory tested its range to three times the load of indoor gym standards. Recognised for its leadership in standards, TGO is the sponsor of the new BSI specification for outdoor gym standards coming out in 2013.
“ “ TGO’s gyms are the only ones designed for the whole community !Communities are diverse and TGO works hard to break down the barriers to physical activity. TGO uniquely caters for all ages and abilities. TGO adopted the Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) guidelines in its design, making its equipment user-friendly for people with disabilities.
“ “
Specifying TGO outdoor gymsYou are thinking of installing an outdoor gym. You want to ensure your installation is the safest, most long lasting and best value. Price is an important factor but you need to make sure you are getting the right specification and you are comparing like for like. When you do that you will see that TGO offers the best value for money.
TGO is sponsoring the BSI’s new outdoor gym standard PAS 888 and this standard incorporates a detailed specification of outdoor gyms and will become the definitive specification for outdoor gyms. To get you started here is a checklist of things you should be looking out for:
1. Safety
2. Quality
3. Inclusivity
4. Fitness
5. Warranty
6. Green

Always ask to see the certificates to
prove the safety of equipment!

1. Specify SafetyAre children going to access your gym?
If the gym you are installing is open access then the answer to this question is yes. Children will be attracted to the gym. They love the moving equipment. They will not be detracted by a small sign saying this gym is for adults only.
Your due diligence for this is to ensure the gym meets play standard (EN1176) & the soon to be published PAS 888 to ensure it is free from known hazards like crush-points, entrapments and sharp edges.
Just specifying EN1176 compliant may not be enough as some companies will self certify. (A bit like doing your own MOT on your own car!)
• Crush point free• Entrapment free
• Free of sharp edges• Free of finger traps
• Free of unrestrained

“Factory tested to 3x that of an indoor gym”
“Thickness of steel up to 38.1mm”

“Careful QC”
2. Specify qualityTGO manufactures its gym equipment in Britain. The steel sourced is kite marked steel. All engineers are well trained and skilled. The factory conducts itself in accordance with ISO9001. Talented engineers oversee the creation of TGO product.
Many outdoor gyms are manufactured in the Far East where there isn’t the same approach to manufacturing as in the UK. Sourcing of steel is often unregulated. Laborers are often unskilled. Common practices seen in the UK like using jigs aren’t always in place in the far East. There also aren’t always robust QC processes in place. The result can be weak equipment prone to breakages.
So always find out aboutthe factory where thegym equipment ismanufactured.
Ask if they have competent andskilled staff?
Do they use qualityassured processes?

Your checklist for quality:
Ask what factory tests have been implemented
on the gym equipment and get the photos to
prove it.TGO tests its equipment
to three times that of indoor gym equipment
and has the photos and test results to prove it!
3. Specifying for all abilitiesTGO has adopted the Inclusive Fitness Initiative guidelines into its designs.
TGO has also looked at every piece of equipment to ensure that a range of users of different ages and abilities can use the equipment.
Make sure there are easy, intermediate and hard exercises on your gym to suit different gym users.
To ensure your outdoor gym is as inclusive as possible, specify that the gym should include all the features in our checklist.
Your checklist for
inclusivity:
• Transfer handles
• Start and finish
diagrams
• Specify the inclusion
of hand bikes for
wheelchair access
• Brightly coloured parts
• Large font type
• IFI compliant seats
• DDA compliant spacing

4. Specifying fitnessA core part of TGO’s design process is working with the best possible fitness experts to ensure that the equipment is exercising you properly and is working you on all parts of your body in a variety of ways.
The Pull up / Assisted pull up machine is a great example that shows our philosophy of design. It can be used by all abilities starting with the assisted pull up to work your way towards a full pull up, if you aren’t ready for one straight away.
Your checklist for fitness:
Ensure you are getting a good mix of equipment from
cardio, tone and strength - Upper
body, lower body and core.
5. Specify Warranty

Schools play a vital role in shaping a young person’s routines in terms of physical activity and fitness. The challenge for schools is how to prevent the steep drop off in exercise at age 14 and above.
TGO gyms offer PE departments a place to help students devise workouts for themselves, track their own progress and be empowered to incorporate exercise into their daily routine.
With over 350 gyms installed in the UK, school children will be able to carry their program with them to the outside world too!

Senior Gym
According to the Chief Medical Officers’ guidelines, adults and people over 65 should aim to do at least two and a half hours each week of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity. Muscle strengthening activity should also be included twice a week by adults.
Research by the University of Essex shows that exercising outdoors boosts people’s physical and mental health more than going to indoor gyms, even in the winter.
The senior package TGO has put together focuses on the gentle exercises and low impact exercises as well as cardiovascular training to improve heart and lung function.

62% agreed that the adiZone has helped them become more active in sports and exercise. This shift was even more apparent in younger respondents; 73% of under 16 years old, 67% 16-24 year olds.

You have now chosen your package but it might not be finished yet... if you have a cross trainer, recumbent bike, fitness bike or hand bike in your package then you can upgrade them to convert human kinetic energy into usable electricity like lighting.
Step 3. Upgrade your equipment
62 The Great Outdoor Gym Company
www.tgogc.com
How do you make going to the gym as green as possible? In an age when physical activity and environment are paramount, TGO presents the perfect solution. Now for the first time ever you can generate green human powered electricity on your outdoor gym with TGO’s patented green energy upgrade.
When the Great Outdoor Gym Company started designing its new British range in 2008, its aims were to make the equipment as robust as possible. Engineering is all about energy dissipation. Rather than dissipating, TGO decided to harness the human energy and convert it into usable electricity.
After successful field testing with Hull City Council TGO is launching its green energy gym equipment and power management systems.
Now you can convert the fitness bike, recumbent bike, hand bike and cross trainer into little mini wind turbines (except TGO’s green energy gyms make you look all buff and svelte!)
Depending on usage, gyms should generate 1KWH of energy per gym per day.

TGO Testimonials‘The area the fitness kit is in is probably one of the most deprived in the town. I was really concerned about this kit going in to that area because of the problems we have been having with mindless vandalism (probably the worst I have seen and I have worked here for 25 years); but once the kit had been installed the attitude changed amongst the youth and they started to get active and use the equipment, they now self police the area and even keep it litter free. The fitness gym has made a real positive effect in that area and vandalism issues have dropped by 60%. The kit itself is fantastic and is very well made and with it being made in the UK is all the better as far as I am concerned.’ Lloyd Baines-Davies, Play and Recreation Officer, Corby
‘The gyms, that are free to use and readily accessible to people of all ages and abilities, break down the barriers to physical activity and also act as a gateway to improving health. For example during this summer over 5,000 men, women and young people have taken the opportunity to undertake a personal health program that has been delivered at the city’s eight outdoor gyms.
One of these gyms, the eco-wellness zone at Shaw Park in Hull, is wholly unique. Having been designed to be powered entirely by human movement it is lit up at night at no cost enabling people to exercise around the clock.
These gyms are an excellent product being of good value with solid after care and maintenance. Hull is certainly looking to install more in due course.’ Mitch Upfold, Hull City Council
I’m disabled and on a low income but need to do regular physio. The outdoor gym equipment at Burnham Park has been a REAL gift. My condition was starting to decline because I could no longer afford a gym membership to maintain my physio regime that LITERALLY allows me to keep my mobility. Then I discovered this amazing gym on my doorstep for free. The Great Outdoor Gym Company has in a very true sense given me a new lease of life & I am sincerely grateful. James Read, Gym user
‘These are brilliant, it just takes some of the load off your feet and it’s good aerobic work.’ Jess Ennis, GB Heptathlon (on TGO cross trainer)
