SamenFit: playing together, exercising and getting active
With SamenFit we bring different generations together in motion. Children, adults and seniors use the same activity environment, each at their own level and with their own challenges. This creates a place where playing, exercising and meeting up come together in a natural way.
The special thing about SamenFit is that one piece of equipment offers multiple ways to use it. Where children climb, scramble and discover new movements through play, adults can work on strength, balance and fitness. Seniors use the same equipment in an accessible way to stay active and mobile.
With SamenFit we offer municipalities and other clients a flexible activity concept for public space. From a compact fitness circle in a square to an extensive activity route through the neighbourhood or a park. We tailor every setup to the available space, the needs of users and the budget.
Sustainability also plays an important role. Various pieces of equipment are made of more than 90% recycled plastic, sourced from consumer waste. This gives existing raw materials a new purpose and combines sustainable material use with encouraging sport and movement.

SamenFit: one place, all generations in motion
SamenFit is our versatile activity concept where playing, exercising and meeting up come together. With a combination of multifunctional play and activity equipment, we create an environment where children, adults and seniors can be active at their own level. The starting point is simple: why set up a separate place for each target group when the same equipment can be used in different ways?
Where children climb, scramble and develop their motor skills through play, adults can use the same equipment to work on strength, balance and fitness. Seniors stay active in an accessible way and train their mobility and stability. This means one activity environment offers different challenges, tailored to the age, abilities and needs of the users.
With SamenFit we look beyond the individual pieces of equipment. We connect different forms of movement within one environment and thereby also stimulate interaction between generations. Moving together, challenging each other and learning from one another are at the heart of it.
The concept is flexible and can be applied to a wide range of locations, from a compact activity circle in a local park to an extensive activity route through the neighbourhood. We tailor the setup to the available space, the surroundings and the wishes of the users. This way, we create activity-friendly outdoor spaces that not only encourage an active lifestyle, but also contribute to connection and meeting in the neighbourhood.

Meet Loopie, our circular play buddy!
Loopie is our cheerful mascot and lets young and old get acquainted with movement—and circularity—in a playful way. Through QR codes at the SamenFit equipment, Loopie helps users along with different exercises and challenges. This way children, adults and seniors discover how they can use the same piece of equipment at their own level. From climbing and balancing through play to training strength, coordination and mobility.
In addition, Loopie sets a good example himself. He is made of more than 90% recycled plastic, the same material we use for different pieces of equipment within SamenFit. This shows how used packaging gets a new destination in the outdoor space. This way Loopie brings movement, fun in playing and awareness of reusing raw materials together.

All about SamenFit
SamenFit: movement equipment for young and old
With SamenFit we create versatile activity environments where children, adults and seniors can play, exercise and get active together. By combining multifunctional play and activity equipment, we make optimal use of public space and encourage an active lifestyle for all generations.
From a compact activity circle in a local park to an extensive activity route through the neighbourhood: SamenFit offers a flexible solution for municipalities, schools, sports clubs and other organisations. With attention to accessibility, meeting up and sustainable material use, we design outdoor spaces that invite people to get moving together.
SamenFit is W&H’s multifunctional activity concept where playing, exercising and meeting up come together in one outdoor space. The concept was developed from the idea that play and activity equipment offers far more possibilities than just its original function. One piece of equipment can be used by different generations, each in a way that fits their own age, abilities and needs.
Children discover new movements through play by climbing, scrambling and balancing. Adults use the same equipment for exercises aimed at strength, fitness and coordination. Seniors can work at their own pace on mobility, stability and balance. This creates an activity environment in which everyone can find a suitable challenge.
Within SamenFit, we combine different pieces of equipment into a coherent activity route or activity spot. We not only look at the individual pieces of equipment, but rather at the overall layout and the possibilities to bring different generations together in motion.
A key principle of SamenFit is that the same fitness equipment is suitable for different ages and levels. Instead of separate play areas for children and fitness areas for adults, we create one environment where multiple generations can be active.
For children, the play equipment offers plenty of opportunities to develop their motor skills. Climbing, hanging, jumping and balancing stimulate coordination, self-confidence and the pleasure of moving. Adults can use the equipment for, for example, balance, strength and conditioning exercises.
Seniors also have a range of movement options with SamenFit. With accessible exercises, older people can work on their balance, mobility and muscle strength. The intensity can be adjusted to their own level, making outdoor movement accessible to a wide group. In this way, we bring young and old together in one place to move.
No outdoor space is the same. That’s why SamenFit is flexible and can be tailored to the available location, target group and budget. From a few movement stations to a complete movement park: we think along with you about a layout that fits the environment and the users.
A SamenFit movement route consists of various movement stations spread along a walking or cycling route. This combines walking and moving. For smaller locations, such as a neighborhood square or district park, a compact movement circle can be a suitable solution. Here, different pieces of equipment are brought together and a central place to work out and meet each other is created.
In addition, SamenFit can be used in larger parks, in squares and around sports facilities. It’s also possible to start small and expand the movement environment later. This way, we create a suitable outdoor space for every location that invites active use.
A movement-friendly outdoor space offers more than just opportunities to work out. It is also a place where neighbors meet each other, do activities together and are encouraged to stay active. With SamenFit, we combine these functions within one environment.
Children can take on a challenge together with their parents or grandparents, while adults and seniors meet each other while moving. The equipment provides room to practice independently, but also to help each other, challenge each other and inspire each other.
For municipalities and other clients, SamenFit offers the opportunity to use public space in a more versatile way. By combining play, sports and meeting, an attractive place is created for different target groups. In this way, SamenFit can contribute to a movement-friendly neighborhood and more connection between generations.
To help users discover how many possibilities the movement equipment offers, we developed Loopie. Our cheerful mascot helps children, adults and seniors get started with different exercises, game formats and movement challenges within SamenFit.
At the SamenFit environment there is a pole with a QR code. By scanning it, users get access to different exercises that match the equipment. They then choose an exercise that fits their own level and abilities. The instructions help them get started independently or together.
This way, a child can use a rope course as an exciting climbing challenge, while an adult trains balance and coordination on the same equipment. For seniors, the same course can be an accessible exercise for moving in a controlled way and improving balance.
With Loopie, we make the versatility of SamenFit visible and provide extra inspiration to keep moving.
Within SamenFit, we combine encouraging sports and movement with attention for sustainable material use. Various play and movement pieces of equipment are made of more than 90% recycled plastic, sourced from consumer waste such as used packaging. This gives existing raw materials a new destination in public space.
The plastic movement equipment has been developed for long-term use outdoors. The material is weather-resistant and requires little maintenance, which makes the equipment suitable for intensive use in parks, neighborhoods and other public locations.
Our mascot Loopie also sets a good example. He is made himself of more than 90% recycled plastic and shows how used materials can gain new value. This way, we make the reuse of raw materials visible in places where people come together to play and move.
Municipalities, schools and sports clubs are increasingly looking for ways to encourage people to move more outdoors. With SamenFit, we offer a flexible movement concept that allows different target groups to use the same outdoor space.
For municipalities, SamenFit offers opportunities to make parks, squares and neighborhoods more attractive and movement-friendly. In schools, the movement equipment can contribute to an environment in which children are encouraged to play and develop their motor skills. Around sports facilities, SamenFit can form an additional place to move for athletes, visitors and local residents.
Together with the client, we look at the possibilities of the location, the desired user groups and the available space. Based on that, we put together a suitable combination of play and movement equipment. This creates a future-oriented layout that aligns with ambitions for outdoor space.
