Case Study: Familjebostäder
Outdoor gym opened 2022
Build a Safer Neighborhood
Familjebostäder, one of Gothenburg's municipal housing companies, has taken a significant step toward improving both health and safety in the Bergsjön district by investing in two new outdoor gyms from Omnigym. These gyms have been strategically placed at Rymdtorget and Siriusgatan, two areas that previously lacked access to modern exercise equipment.
Exercise for Everyone – Focus on Accessibility and Progression
One of the major challenges with traditional outdoor gyms, especially those made of wood, has been the difficulty of adjusting workouts for different fitness levels. Omnigym's modern outdoor gyms effectively address this issue. With adjustable weights, these gyms cater to everyone—from beginners to seasoned athletes. "It’s a great product that allows more people, regardless of their fitness background, to be challenged and grow in their training," says one of the residents who has previously done a lot of outdoor training.

Creating Safety and Community in the Area
The outdoor gyms have also contributed to an increased sense of safety in these neighborhoods. When more adults and families spend time outdoors exercising, it creates a safer environment for children to play and move freely. "Many tenants have thanked us for providing these outdoor gyms," says Virena Lyckegård, head of security at Familjebostäder. "When more trusted adults are outside, parents feel more comfortable letting their children go out and play football or basketball."
Engagement and Collaboration – Key to Success
Familjebostäder has actively worked to engage the local community and collaborate with various organizations, such as Hälsoteket, to maximize the benefits of the new outdoor gyms. During the summer, free exercise classes were held, attracting many residents to participate and get more active. "This initiative is fantastic, especially in these areas where access to wellness activities is not always a given," says Charles from Hälsoteket.
A Sustainable Investment for the Future
By choosing Omnigym, Familjebostäder has also invested in sustainability. The outdoor gyms are built to withstand all weather conditions, and the robust materials ensure long-lasting durability. This makes it a cost-effective solution that contributes to improved public health and well-being for the residents. "I would definitely recommend Omnigym," concludes Virena Lyckegård.
With Omnigym, Familjebostäder has not only enhanced the exercise opportunities for its tenants but also created a more vibrant and safer environment where both young and old can come together and stay active.

A Sustainable Investment for the Future
By choosing Omnigym, Familjebostäder has also made a notable investment in sustainability and durability. The outdoor gyms are installed with concrete foundations, providing a stable and long-lasting setup that can endure various weather conditions. This solid construction has been positively received by the community, with many residents expressing their satisfaction with the quality and stability of the equipment. "Residents have appreciated the overall quality and sturdiness of the gyms," says Virena Lyckegård. This secure installation not only ensures the equipment’s longevity but also reflects Familjebostäder’s commitment to enhancing public health and well-being with reliable, cost-effective solutions.
