In October 1997, Głos Nauczycielski (Teacher’s Voice) published an article entitled “Strzał w dziesiątkę (Bang On!).”
The article presented few schools that decided to organize SCHOOL FITNESS STUDIO equipped with machines produced by Szultka Sport & Fitness Equipment company. The FITNESS STUDIOS were build in the rooms previously serving as basements, school magazines or even coal storages. The article also pointed out the benefits of having such a FITNESS studio for children and youth. Teachers and school principals asked us about the FITNESS STUDIO equipment and the necessary conditions of such place. They also asked about the costs of the machines where to find financial support to organize FITNESS STUDIO at their school. We answered many questions and provided a lot of hints thanks to which we had our part in the creation of over 2000 fitness studios at schools in Poland and all over the world.
Generally, FITNESS STUDIO should be in every school. Children in the age of 7-8 can perform exercises with additional weighs. So, primary and secondary schools as well as high schools are places to organize their own SCHOOL FITNESS STUDIO.
The room that is going to serve as SCHOOL FITNESS STUDIO must meet several important conditions to allow children to train there.
The general technical conditions are as follows:
1. The room must have a working gravitational or mechanic ventilation system.
2. The room must have an efficient heating, which will maintain the temperature of 20 degrees of Celsius with efficient ventilation system.
3. It could have been very good to organize locker room and sanitary nearby the FITNESS STUDIO.
4. It could be very good, if the gym had an independent entrance, so that it could be used after classes.
5. The bigger the surface of the room, the better for classes organization. It can be assumed that one training post needs about 4 square meters. It is always possible to ask Szultka Sport & Fitness Equipment for help in the arrangement of the room prepared for FITNESS STUDIO.
6. It is possible to view our examples of arranged studios of various dimensions by clicking "SCHOOL FITNESS STUDIO – Examples of equipment"
7. The higher the room, the better. 3 meters is enough. It can be slightly lower but then the efficient ventilation is very important.
8. Natural light is very good but big window surfaces exposed to the sun light will cause overheating. If the room is on the basement level and the access to natural light is limited, it is not a problem because an artificial lighting can be used.
9. Preferably, the floor of the room should be covered with elastic sports surface. Such surfaces have anti-slip properties, they have high durability and are easy to clean.
Which equipment for FITNESS STUDIO at school?
A school is a specific customer who needs a high durable equipment, which is safe and occupies a relatively small space. The quality of the equipment should be parallel with not so high cost. The conditions of equipment exploitation at school are sometimes more intensive than in a FITNESS STUDIO. Szultka Sport & Fitness Equipment company has such machines in its offer. The machines of GS Fitness type, which have been the core of FITNESS STUDIOS at schools, have been improved for many years to become even better - more reliable.
How to obtain financial resources to organize SCHOOL FITNESS STUDIO.
It is impossible for a project called School Fitness Studio to become founded by the resources from central budget. The initiative of providing schools with sports field on the open air truly is a way to organize valuable lessons of PE. But, unfortunately, sports fields have a serious disadvantage which is the weather dependency. The atmospheric conditions like cold temperature, rain or snow limit its use drastically. And the summer time, when the weather is perfect for outside lessons, is the time of holidays.
And how to organize interesting and valuable lessons of physical education if the weather conditions are poor and it is impossible to use the sports field? Not every school has its own sports hall or the available sports hall is not sufficient enough to be used by several teachers at the same time. In such situation, SCHOOL FITNESS STUDIO is an excellent proposition for interesting and valuable opportunity for the lessons of physical education. Building a new sports hall is a huge investment exceeding the school’s budget several times. For incomparably smaller funds, it is possible to organize SCHOOL FITNESS STUDIO, in which can train simultaneously the same number of students as in a big sports hall. But to build a new sports hall, the money is not the only problem. It is also the long period of time required to finish the building and also the necessary space the new building requires.
To organize a FITNESS STUDIO at school is incomparably cheaper, easier and much faster. And these are the arguments that should be used while searching for the funds to create the studio. If we ask our local government and show them our arguments, there is a big chance that our idea will be supported. The creation of a FITNESS STUDIO at SCHOOL can be founded by several sources like: parental committee, sponsors or anti-alcohol fund. Is there any better means for a local government to spend anti-alcohol funds than the school’s gym, which will be accessible for students even after classes :
It is also worth to mention the funds donated by EU.
