As a parent in this day and age of budget cuts and time crunches, you are likely mourning the lack of recreational options for your child. In-school physical education classes and extra-curricular activities have become fewer and fewer, but you know that a well-rounded activity menu not only builds bodies but character and brain power. Exercise is vital to your child’s mental and physical well-being and parents who make this a priority raise more well-rounded kids.
One of the best ways to encourage exercise and the fun and pleasure associated with it is to invest in at-home equipment that is not just fun but solidly built and ready to take on your child’s challenges. Just don’t be surprised if neighborhood kids show up in your yard or home because they know that your youngsters have access to the world’s best metal climbing frames, gymnastic wall bars and other exercise gear.
Having equipment at home is a boon to parents whose children are shy and retiring. Plenty of kids will happily play and exercise when they feel as though they’re not being judged, writes Leah Prinzivalli for Self.com. In fact, making sure your child gets enough exercise daily is as much about psychology as it is about physiology. Kids can easily become embarrassed if they are made to feel inept. At home, a judgment-free zone, children feel more comfortable exercising and this builds confidence and self-assurance that lasts far beyond their earliest years.
What will high-quality Monkey Gym equipment do for your child?
By installing climbing frames and gymnastics wall bars youngsters of all ages have access to equipment 24/7, so weather conditions, lack of transportation and other circumstances won’t stop your child from getting physical activity every day.
Investing in quality products spells longevity: beautifully-engineered equipment crafted of the best, safest materials available ensure years of use by all family members – likely for decades when products feature the Monkey Gym brand name.
According to the Centers For Disease Control(CDC), being active for 60 minutes or more each day is critical to growing up strong and healthy, and part of a child’s daily activity menu should include muscle building activities that include climbing three days a week plus the bone-strengthening activities the CDC finds essential to a child’s long-term development and health.
But not every manufacturer produces the kind of equipment that guarantees this result. Inferior materials. Shoddy workmanship. Fewer quality control measures. These are but a few of the problems incurred when settling for inferior products. You need Monkey Gym and we’ll tell you why…
Why pick Monkey Gym wall bars over competitor brands?
- For 15 years, our devotion to child-focused health and wellness has been at the forefront of our minds each time we set about innovating new equipment, testing items and getting valuable feedback from moms and dads like you who, according to the fan mail we get, appreciate our efforts.
- What do consumers love best about our products? Consider the following:
- Cutting edge design and safety features. Factory tests assure excellence in construction and detailing.
- Rungs on our gymnastic ladders are finished with soft rubber padding so when kids act like kids, they won’t slip and hurt themselves. Monkey Gym padding is soft and pliable and rung widths are generous and in accordance with industry standards.
- You won’t find more variety in products from another manufacturer. Our equipment gives children license to challenge themselves while undertaking activities involving rope, gymnastic wheels, trapeze, rope ladder, cobweb, snake, children’s swing, boxing bag, climbing handles, raised railings and too many more to list here.
- Colour is important to kids. According to child development experts, color is powerful. Warm, bright hues stimulate brain cells – especially red, which increases heart rate so kids get a comprehensive workout that drives their efforts.
- Each model comes in four colours that are child, teen or adult favourites and powdered polyester paint is vivid and sealed for ultimate safety. Bold reds can increase a child’s IQ by as much as 12 points so a workout on Monkey Gym products builds brain muscle, too.
- Moms and dads needn’t drill into walls to give their children the benefit of a workout — in fact, sports ladders are so carefully balanced and crafted, you can move our gymnastics ladder around or keep it in the middle of a room if space in your child’s bedroom or playroom is limited.
- Adjustable metal clamp guides brace units between ceiling and floor for stability and safety and you can choose between metal and wood. Your aesthetic and confidence in specific materials needn’t be compromised. Monkey Gym offers products built of both.
More than wall bars and indoor equipment
For the past 15 years, our innovative design team, product developers and child development experts have been working in concert to expand our offerings based on the latest research and feedback from parents like you. That’s why our products transcend metal climbing frames, climbing frames and gymnastics wall bars.
Our expansive library of products now includes home swings, gymnastic mats, accessories, pull up and dip bars, benches, training bands, garden swings, playground rigs, outdoor toys, sand pits and slacklines adhere to the same manufacturing standards we set for all of the equipment we make.
Here’s how your child benefits from the wide range of the products we make and why our loyal client base wouldn’t shop another brand under any circumstances. By investing in outdoor equipment produced by Monkey Gym your kids benefit from an oxygen boost every time they play outdoors and Vitamin D absorption strengthens bones and helps kids expend pent-up energy that has the capacity to interfere with the way children perform intellectually.
Installing different types of play equipment tones different muscles, provokes mind development as kids figure out ways to undertake different maneuvers on gear. Paired with parental encouragement, they understand early in life that fitness doesn’t deliver occasional benefits but has the capacity to instill in them lifetime habits that lead to longer, more fulfilling lives. Taking risks while playing on safe equipment enhances a child’s maturation in ways that help them differentiate between good risks and bad ones.
Fitness for life
Monkey Gym products are designed for the long haul, which is why our library includes a comprehensive collection of home fitness equipment designed exclusively for kids who outgrow their kid gear and require more challenging products. For harried families who rely upon apps, whiteboards, cork boards and refrigerator magnets to keep pace with family schedules, high-quality gym options assure teens of proximity to gear they require to relieve their own stress, maintain body health and stay mentally fit, too.
Assisted by physiologists and sports medicine professionals, our collection of products includes everything teen family members need to keep their bodies in good shape: wall bars, punching bags, chest expanders, dip bars, training bands and more – but what drives sales substantively is that so many of these products are engineered specifically for teens, so once they outgrow the child-focused items in our catalog, they are ready to move up.
Why teens benefit from Monkey Gym gear most of all
University of Rochester experts devoted to the study of adolescent behavior rely upon empirical research to back their claims that teens are capable of circumnavigating the transactional years between childhood and adulthood if they have access to exercise equipment and the payoff for this access is more than just a good looking physique.
Exercise helps teens cope with the hormonal changes in their body, helps release anger and frustration and having equipment on hand has been shown to cut teens’ exposure to TV and computer time, both of which are sedentary activities that promote unhealthy thinking combined with the inactivity factor.
Teens have an easier time controlling their weight when they exercise regularly and the growing epidemic of diabetes among youngsters can be mediated via a regular exercise routine. Who doesn’t want their teen to enjoy the most amount of confidence at a time when self-doubt is easily triggered by stress and peer pressure? Monkey Gym equipment can serve as a barrier to depression and anxiety that is regularly experienced by today’s teen in reaction to an ever-changing world.

All of the high-quality Monkey Gym equipment in the world won’t substitute for your encouragement, enthusiasm and support, whether your youngsters are 6 or 16.
