BARbara is a hexagonal calisthenics station for 8–12 people at once with six exercise fields and more than 200 possible exercises. A QR-code library with four levels (Beginner, Advanced, 50+, Pro) allows differentiation within one group. It is built to DIN EN 16630, needs around 15 m² plus safety zone and is a low-maintenance construction without moving parts made from 100% recyclable steel.

Differentiation with four QR levels
Each station links via QR code to an exercise library with four levels: Beginner, Advanced, 50+ and Pro. In teaching terms, this means internal differentiation: pupils at very different performance levels train at the same station, each at their own level.

Frequently asked questions
For which age groups is BARbara suitable?
The four QR levels cover beginners to advanced users. The station is especially attractive for secondary school pupils, who often no longer use playground equipment.
Can the station be used in PE lessons?
Yes. With six exercise fields and space for 8–12 people, it is suitable for circuit and station training.
Which variant is best for schools?
All three variants are the same system built to DIN EN 16630. Hot-dip galvanised is the best-value option; powder coating allows school colours; stainless steel offers maximum durability.
