Activating community health without costing the earth. The Great Outdoor Gym Company designs and installs free outdoor fitness for you and your community. Download the TGO Activate App to find, log, track and share your workout!

We also want to do things right. This ethos means we have pioneered greener, safer and stronger outdoor gyms than any other. We pioneered safety standards making our outdoor fitness equipment similar to playgrounds as well as inclusivity standards making our outdoor gyms accessible to people with disabilities. We plant trees for every piece we install.

We love innovating and are the leaders in our field. Our innovations include our TGO Energy range, which includes recycling human energy to make green electricity, our energy storage system and TGO Smart gyms that give site owners data on usage. We are also developing flooring made of marine plastic.

We couldn't do what we do right across the UK and the globe without our incredible network of expert sales partners. Since 2007, we've developed relationships with key players in the world of leisure, fitness and play, to provide a high quality, sustainable and local service to TGO gym customers worldwide. From Scotland to Singapore, the United Arab Emirates to Australia, Wales to Mauritius, Northern Ireland to Nigeria, Ireland to Indonesia and more, we've crossed continents and landed TGO Gyms from Jumeirah Beach to Bondi Beach. From September 2020, the HAGS Powered by TGO partnership is live, covering Spain, Sweden, Denmark and most regions in England. Discover more about our trusted relationships with sector experts across the globe. 

TGO is delighted to be collaborating with HAGS to create the next generation of outdoor gyms. The HAGS Powered by TGO partnership is live in England (excluding the South West), Spain, Sweden and Denmark. We're setting out together to empower 5 million people to get active over the next 5 years. In this post-Covid world, it's more important than ever to move regularly for our health and wellbeing. Working with expert partners like HAGS and other trusted organisations, TGO is creating the most inclusive, family-friendly and accessible outdoor gyms. Our aim is to inspire people across the world to get active and improve health in the most sustainable way for our planet. #MovementisMedicine

I’ve worked with TGO over a number of years on a number of projects. Their service is second to none.  The impact that our activity zone has had has already been beyond belief because there is something for everyone.  

From our first outdoor gyms in English and Scottish parks in 2007, we're now in public parks, schools, universities, hospitals, work places and prisons right across the UK – and we've crossed continents too. From London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to Bondi Beach in Australia, the paradise island of Mauritius to Singaporean shores, Dubai beachfronts to the site an earthquake in Muccia, Italy and many more. We’re honoured to play our part in improving public health across the globe, breaking down barriers to physical activity for all ages and abilities, regenerating community spaces and building a sustainable future to protect the planet for future generations.

Now more than ever, we need to look after our health and protect nature - we believe the two go hand in hand. Since May 2012, TGO has sponsored 4071 trees in the NHS Forest, one tree for every piece of outdoor gym equipment sold. 

To mark NHS Sustainability Day 2020, we planted our latest batch of 700 trees at NHS Forest sites including Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, Bethlem Royal Hospital in South East London, Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. In spring 2020, some silver birches are being planted in our Movement is Medicine outdoor gym at St Thomas's Hospital in Westminster, as a tribute to TGO's late chairman and great Dad, John Tarrant. 

With 1500 TGO gyms installed in the UK and worldwide, we estimate there are 7.5 million people who can access and benefit from a free TGO gym, right on their doorstep. From villages to urban metropolises, hospital grounds to university campuses, large parks to housing estates, our conservative estimate is that an average of 5000 people live, work or study within one kilometre of each TGO gym. And now with TGO Smart, our unique technology that measures TGO gym hits, our ability to measure participation at outdoor gyms is second to none.

The Great Outdoor Gym Company: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Brilliant. Just used them for the first time.

Tim Brogan-Shaw (TB-S) 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic to see these outdoor gyms popping up! Good selection of equipment, easy to use and easy to follow instructions on each piece of equipment. They are not effected by the weather and look in great condition. Using the equipment is easy and provides a good workout. It mainly uses your own weight against you so it feels like a good workout. These are great if you are out for a run and just spend a few minutes on the equipment to make your workout more valuable. I highly recommend these outdoor gyms!
