KOMPAN, the world’s leading manufacturer of playground equipment and a pioneer in playgrounds that promote health, learning and social inclusion, announced an exciting new initiative, the KOMPAN Fitness Institute. They are adding a new product line called “STANDING STRONG™” to supplement KOMPAN’s X-ERCISE™ product line. And you can bet that Recreation inSites will make it available as soon as it’s available!

As a dedicated knowledge center, the KOMPAN Fitness Institute will support KOMPAN’s research and development work in outdoor fitness, a key focus area for the company. To head up the new Institute, KOMPAN has taken Rob Boogmans onboard, an expert in physical therapy and fitness, and the inventor of the STANDING STRONG™ outdoor fitness concept.

“We couldn’t be more excited about the new KOMPAN Fitness Institute, and the unique strengths Rob Boogmans will bring to KOMPAN,” says KOMPAN CEO Connie Astrup-Larsen. Built on unique “Adjustable Resistance” technology, STANDING STRONG™ will supplement KOMPAN’s X-ERCISE™ range and global distribution of TGO green energy outdoor gyms to create the industry’s most compelling outdoor fitness offering.

“I have long admired KOMPAN’s trail-blazing work with playgrounds, and I am thrilled about this opportunity to help KOMPAN further extend its leadership in a field I care passionately about,” says Rob Boogmans.

The Institute opened its doors in January 2015, when Rob joined KOMPAN at corporate headquarters in Denmark.
