SCHOOLS, HIGH SCHOOLS & UNIVERSITIES
From school yards to university campuses, outdoor fitness equipment turns unused space into active learning environments. Bodyweight training fits modern physical education, helps students reset focus and reduce screen time, and stands up to intensive daily use by thousands.
Durable stations designed for high-frequency use on campus grounds.
Why outdoor fitness on campus?
Universities and larger schools have grounds that sit unused between buildings — and thousands of students who benefit from a free, always-open place to move. Bodyweight training fits modern physical education and student wellbeing programmes, helping people reset focus and reduce screen time between lectures.
A single hexagon installation lets a whole group train together, so campus sport is social rather than a queue for one machine. Built to a serial-production standard from high-grade steel, it is designed for the intensive, continuous use a campus demands.
Who benefits?
Space & requirements
The compact hexagon footprint fits into courtyards, green space between faculties or beside existing sports grounds — up to 12 people train on one installation at once.
As freely accessible equipment for teenagers and adults it is built to DIN EN 16630, giving campus and school authorities planning certainty, with certified acceptance inspection and routine checks.
Typical use cases
Cost factors
A BARbara installation costs around €15,000 — fully ready to use, including groundwork and installation — with minimal running costs.
Campus projects often draw on institutional sports budgets, student-services funding or public sports-facility grants — and the durable stainless steel V2A variant is a sound long-term choice for high-traffic sites.

Frequently asked questions
Will it withstand thousands of students?+
Yes. Stations are built from high-grade steel to a serial-production standard with hidden, vandal-proof bolts. For the highest-traffic campus sites the premium stainless steel V2A variant offers maximum longevity.
How many people can train at once?+
Up to 12 people can train simultaneously on a single hexagon installation, which keeps campus sport social and avoids queues for a single machine.
Which safety standard applies?+
For teenagers and adults the relevant standard is DIN EN 16630 (not the DIN EN 1176 playground standard). BARbara is built to DIN EN 16630 and requires a certified acceptance inspection — planning certainty for campus and school authorities.
Do users need instruction?+
No. Every information board links via QR code to four training levels — Beginner, Advanced, Ü50 and Pro — with videos, so students of any ability can train independently.
What does it cost to run?+
Very little. There is no electricity, no heating and no staffing requirement — only the routine visual and annual functional checks required for public installations.
