Outdoor fitness equipment at Allerpark

Between the Courtyard by Marriot Wolfsburg hotel and BadeLand, you will find 10 outdoor fitness machines that were installed in Allerpark by the city of Wolfsburg in 2017. There you can do exercises with your own body weight in the fresh air and make a great change from going to the gym. The technical term for exercises using your own body weight is calisthenics. This word is derived from the Greek words "kalos" and "sthenos" and translates as "beautiful strength". The fitness equipment includes various pull-up bars, parallel bars and hanging bars. The exercises are designed to build strength and endurance as well as psychomotor skills such as balance, flexibility and coordination.

If a simple circuit is not challenging enough, you can shorten the break time between exercises or do several exercises in quick succession. The 10 calisthenics elements form a modern fitness trail that you can use free of charge at any time.

Before training, it is a good idea to run around the Allersee lake to warm up. If the 3 km route is too short or too long for you, you can use the various routes to create your own optimal running route.

There are currently increasing numbers of enquiries about the closure of the calisthenics facility in Allerpark. The closure of individual pieces of equipment for reasons of road safety (e.g. accident risks) already took place in May 2022. In August of this year, further defects regarding stability and breakage safety were identified during routine inspections. The administration is already in contact with the manufacturer to rectify the defects.

The administration is currently unable to make any statement about the duration of the closure.
