Similar to functional fitness equipment, obstacle course equipment is a large installation consisting of many bodyweight stations. Increasing in popularity due to the 'Ninja Warrior' TV program, obstacle course equipment requires a tremendous amount of upper body strength and conditioning; therefore, it is not accessible to people of various fitness abilities. Obstacle course equipment may look impressive installed in your community and may get a lot of use initially; however, the lack of real exercise and accessibility features will deter people from continuing to use it long-term.
