A green heart for people and the planet
by Georgie Delaney, co-finder of TGO
Welcome to TGO in the twenties – we’re springing into the new
decade, as passionate as ever about the transformative power of outdoor
activity for our physical and mental health. We’re devoted to preserving
our beautiful planet too – designing, manufacturing and installing the
most environmentally-friendly outdoor gyms that recycle precious
materials, generate electricity and serve their communities for many
years. We’re also really proud to plant trees and new woodland in the
NHS Forest.
From our first outdoor gyms in English and Scottish
parks in 2007, we have grown to over 1500 installations worldwide – from
London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to Bondi Beach in Australia, the
Bethlem Royal Hospital (SLaM) to Sodnac wellness park in
Mauritius, Singaporean shores to Dubai beachfronts to the grounds of St
Thomas's Hospital opposite the Houses of Parliament. We've even
installed on the site an earthquake in Muccia, Italy, a TGO gym funded
by Andrea Bocelli who sang at the launch in June 2019. We’re honored to
play our part in improving public health, breaking down barriers to
physical activity, boosting mental health and well being, regenerating
community spaces and promoting sustainable living.
We’re grateful too for everything we’ve learned from our corporate relationships – including partnerships with adidas, Right Guard
and Rolls Royce. Brands like these require innovative edge and
excellence as standard – their expectations have helped us to dive into
fresh waters and keep swimming for new shores.
And with bespoke installations for the Department for Education, the United Nations
and many hundreds of local authorities, schools, universities,
hospitals and workplaces, we believe in helping all TGO customers to
provide exceptional value to the people they serve. It’s the only way to
build trusting relationships and we’re really proud to have delivered
borough-wide, citywide and even nationwide outdoor fitness schemes.
The key for TGO has been to innovate for the most sustainable future. To this end, we offer TGO customers stronger, safer and greener outdoor fitness equipment and packages including our Made in Britain range. We invented TGO Energy gyms, which harness human kinetic energy, capturing and recycling it to charge devices and power lighting. Our latest innovations take our gyms to another level. We have developed TGO Smart Gyms and the TGO Activate App to turn your park into a force for good, driving up physical activity, wellbeing and community spirit. Using these tools, we can now provide TGO gym owners with insights into their user demographics and usage patterns, as well as a means to generate revenue to reinvest in their park or location. Additionally, TGO gym users can use our App to find their local TGO gym, take part in classes, then log, track and share their workouts. We’ve also launched our TGO Activator training and Big Community Workouts, to empower local people to deliver family-friendly sessions, inspiring even the most inactive groups. And 2020 sees a really exciting new phase of inclusive activation our classes and programmes for inactive people, elites, families, people with pre-existing health conditions and older people.
We trade multi-nationally too through our network of international sales partners in Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, UAE and more. The Department of International Trade(DiT) named TGO as one of their Export Champions. Recently, we have been selected for its intensive trade support programme only 10 companies receive this input from the DiT, organisations they believe have the biggest potential for growth.
