Frequently Asked Questions About our Correctional-Grade Fitness Equipment

1. How does prison fitness equipment hold up outside?

Outdoor-Fit's correctional fitness equipment is designed to excel in outdoor environments. Built using robust materials and weatherproof coatings, our equipment is rigorously tested to ensure durability and performance even in challenging outdoor environments.

We construct our equipment using heavy-duty materials such as extra-thick steel plate, stainless steel, and heavy-duty aluminum. These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand outdoor conditions, including exposure to varying weather elements. The equipment is treated with protective coatings and finishes that guard against rust and corrosion. This ensures that the equipment remains functional and safe even in outdoor settings with rain, sunlight, humidity, and temperature fluctuations.

Our equipment undergoes rigorous testing, including exposure to challenging outdoor conditions, to ensure its durability and safety. Endorsements from organizations like the US Military and correctional facilities across North America validate the robustness of our equipment in demanding environments.

2. Who installs Outdoor-Fit Workout Equipment?

If your maintenance team knows how to anchor equipment to concrete, then our equipment will be a breeze! 

Our fitness equipment arrives partially assembled making installation convenient and straight forward. Assuming that the concrete pad is already in place and the shipping pallet is positioned adjacent to the pad, a two-person team can anticipate the following installation times:

It's important to note that prior to shipping, each unit undergoes a comprehensive test assembly. During this process, we not only perform a full build of the equipment, but we also install all necessary placards and pre-assemble essential components like the weight stack. This meticulous approach ensures that the equipment is ready for efficient installation and reliable use upon delivery.

3. How do you change the weight on the high-low pulley station?

The high-low pulley station is equipped with a weight stack of 100 lbs, offering adjustable options in increments of 10 lbs, ranging from 10 to 100 lbs. To modify the weight setting, the process involves lifting the Lexan gate located at the base of the station and keeping the gate elevated. While the gate is raised, the selector pin can be pulled out and repositioned either higher or lower, corresponding to the desired weight. This selector pin moves within a secure vertical track, preventing any chance of removal for use as a potential weapon or risk of misplacement.

4. What kind of maintenance does the jail workout equipment require?

Our correctional fitness equipment demands very minimal maintenance. Certain products, such as the Helios-NA Multigym and Titan Multigym, have been designed to be virtually maintenance-free throughout their lifespan. The careful selection of materials and meticulous design attention contribute significantly to the enduring quality of our equipment tailored for correctional facilities. This durability not only reduces the necessity for frequent replacements but also establishes it as a prudent and cost-efficient investment for correctional institutions over the long term.

In specific models like the Apollo, Helios, and Versa, there are cables (assist lever, high pulley, and low pulley) that are considered wearable components and may need replacement. Generally, replacements are required no more than once a year, although this frequency varies based on the extent of usage in different facilities. For the initial two years, these cables are covered under warranty, after which they can be replaced at a cost of approximately $40 per cable. The process of replacing a cable is straightforward and takes just around 20 minutes. The tools necessary for cable replacement include a pair of pliers and a 9/16” socket wrench.
