Do you remember those carefree days at the playground when you were a kid? Climbing all over the jungle gym, making your way across the parallel bars, swinging so high that it felt like you were flying? Those are the best childhood memories for many of us. Little did we know that, in addition to having a wonderful time, we were also giving our growing bodies one of the best workouts ever!
Wouldn’t it be great relive some of those happy-go-lucky days?
Well now you can if you’re a member of Adventure Fitness Athletic Club. We have an adult version of a playground workout at our gym in Thornton, CO — our TuffStuff CT Fitness Training System. It’s the perfect workout solution for people of all ages and fitness levels, offering ways for users to increase their strength, flexibility, and endurance on a jungle gym that’s built especially for adults. Plus, our staff at AFAC is here to help all members learn how to get the most out of the equipment and have a fantastic time while they’re at it.
What kinds of equipment does an adult jungle gym have?
Since it’s made for grownups, our jungle gym is set up quite differently than one you’d find at a neighborhood park. One of the main differences is that our jungle gym modular, which means it offers many different design elements that can be mixed and matched to fit the needs of people using it. This modular design allows us to build customized exercise stations with equipment that provides members with the most effective and efficient workout possible.
Here are some of the training modules and equipment that you can find on our jungle gym at AFAC:
- Medicine balls and medicine ball rebounders
- Monkey bars
- Chin-up bars
- Squat/press racking station
- Suspension bars
- A heavy bag training module
- Adjustable height ring station
- Kettle bell training module
- Adjustable step-up and stretch ladder
- Dual adjustable pulley
- Battle rope
- Multi-strap training boom
- Dip handles
What are some exercises that I can do on AFAC’s jungle gym?
With such a wide array of equipment, the workout opportunities are virtually endless on our jungle gym. Here are some jungle gym experiences you can try to mix up your training program:
- Pull ups and hanging leg raises, which you can do with nothing more than a bar
- Hanging knee raises
- Dips, which is one of the best exercises for your chest, shoulders, and triceps (on our jungle gym, you can perform dips on the parallel bars or the rings)
- Step ups
- Overhand monkey bar crossovers
- Incline push ups
- Sit up medicine ball throws
- Rope pulls
- Rope slams
- Kettlebell lunges
- Kettlebell swings
- Sidekicks and straight punches into the heavy bag
- Decline bench presses
Advantages of using our jungle gym
In addition to increasing your strength, flexibility, functional fitness, and cardiovascular health, our jungle gym comes with these key benefits:
- It’s fun — There’s nothing better than reliving a few childhood memories as you work the monkey bars and ropes on our jungle gym!
- It’s challenging — The equipment on our jungle gym is so unique that it will take time to learn all the ways you can use it. Your brain will get as much of a work out as your body and you’ll also get to hang out with the awesome staff at AFAC as we show you around.
- It can be used by all fitness levels — While it may look complex at first, our jungle gym has something for everybody from beginners to advanced athletes, and gives you plenty of room to grow.
- It’s well-made — The TuffStuff CT Fitness Training System is manufactured in the USA with high-quality, commercial-strength materials so that you can feel confident using it.
