FITNESS JUST GOT FUN

WillPlay’s Urban Warrior range combines the best of play and fitness equipment to create a collection that generates flexible activity zones, offering both fun and physical challenges for kids of all ages.
WillPlay’s Urban Warrior range has changed play forever at the Holy Spirit Catholic School in Townsville, Queensland. Thanks to this new collection of play equipment, play has become adventurous and fitness has become fun.
The Urban Warrior range has been designed to engage all users, including teenagers that no longer feel the need to ’play’. With an emphasis on physical challenge and movement, this system encourages activity without the perception of play that can often be a disincentive for older children to get involved. When many children reach the teenage years their incentive and desire to play disappears, being replaced with less sedentary activities.
Following the rise in popularity of television shows promoting similar obstacle course activities, the Urban Warrior system encourages activity and participation by all users, regardless of age. The system also encourages social engagement and can add an element of competitiveness.
With an emphasis on activities that can develop cardio-vascular fitness and improve core strength, the Urban Warrior can improve overall fitness, strength and posture.
WillPlay’s Urban Warrior system can also be incorporated into school Physical Education programs. The structured flow to the course allows students to be benchmarked and compare their own results/improvements in physical performance and fitness over a period of time.
The individual elements can be set as a close-circuit or scattered around a larger area, creating a cross-country-style training course. This encourages users to move between elements, which can improve cardiovascular fitness and help to achieve the minimum daily movement that many students are missing out on these days.
Elements of the system can also be ordered individually and incorporated into conventional play areas, and also allows a circuit to be built in stages as budgets allow.
Manufactured in Australia from premium materials including stainless steel, aluminium and recycled plastics and timber composites, these units are built to handle anything that can be thrown at them.
Suitable for use by kids and adults and with the ability to be used in conjunction with your school’s PE program, the Urban Warrior system is the perfect addition. In a park setting, this range can take fitness to the next level.
