Train safely at home: How to use your home gym cleverly and responsibl

A compact home exercise complex brings movement into everyday life – for adults and children aged 3 and up (always under supervision). The robust combination of wood, plywood, MDF, and metal is durable and fits even in smaller apartments. To ensure that training is fun and safe, follow these practical tips.

Who is the system intended for?

Use: Family home gym for joint-friendly strength and mobility exercises.
Age & Supervision: from 3 years old , only with adult accompaniment.
Maximum user weight: 100 kg (including clothing/shoes).
Standard reference: Design and use are based on EN 913:2018 + A1:2021 .
Important: Not a toy according to Directive 2009/48/EC ; for intended use only.

The right place at home

Indoor use only: No outdoor areas, no damp rooms – wood expands and contracts when wet.
Substrate & wall: firm, level ground; solid masonry/concrete (or equivalent load-bearing capacity).
Open space: plan for approximately 1 m of movement space around the system.
Cushioning: Sports/protective mats with a thickness of approximately 60 mm or more in the effective area reduce the consequences of falls.
Light & room climate: even illumination; approx. 18–24 °C and 40–60 % relative humidity.
Ceiling clearance: at least 50 cm above the highest point.

Assembly & anchoring: Stability first

Use only original fasteners and align the system precisely.
Tighten completely only after all components are fully aligned.
Ground/wall anchoring is mandatory – it prevents tipping moments under tensile and shear forces.
Is anything loose? Check screw connections, realign if necessary and tighten.
Close technical openings with the supplied caps (finger pinch protection).

Pro tip: If a rung rotates, wood glue in the drilled hole or a thin piece of wood (e.g., a toothpick) as a spacer usually helps – then tighten the clamp securely.

Pull-up bar and inclined board – always secured with cable ties

On models where the pull-up bar or the inclined board hangs on the rungs (e.g. SPR C), the kit includes nylon cable ties. They are not an extra but part of the fixing: the tie stops the bar or board from slipping off the rung.

Always secure the pull-up bar to the rung with cable ties – as shown in your model's instructions. Only then start exercising.
Changing the height of the bar or board? Fit new cable ties. Cable ties are single-use – cut off the old ones and secure the bar with new ones after moving it.
Never use the inclined board without cable ties – the tie goes through the hole in the hook and around the rung, on both sides.
Check the cable ties every 10 days together with the other fixings. Cracked, worn or broken tie – replace it first, then exercise.

Cable tie broken or no spares left? Buy the same ones as supplied: nylon cable ties, min. 250 mm long and 4–6 mm wide (available at DIY stores). Do not replace them with anything else.

Usage: clear limits, clear advantages

One person at a time. Parallel use increases the load and the risk.
No acrobatics, no swinging. Rings, bar and ropes are training equipment, not play equipment.
Quick check before each training session: Screw positions, condition of wood/metal, suspensions.
Slip resistance: dry hands/handles; no training oils on the rungs.

Hanging modules (rings, rope, rope ladder)

Allowed: Pull-ups, holding and support exercises, controlled hanging and balance drills.
Maximum load: up to 100 kg .
Prohibited: Attaching objects, swinging/bouncing, use by multiple people at the same time.

Care & Value Preservation

Inspect regularly: at least every 10 days with intensive use; otherwise at reasonable intervals.
Cleaning: soft, slightly damp cloth; no solvents/abrasives.
Refresh the surface protection when heavily used areas (handles/rungs) become dull.
Unusual noises (creaking/squeaking) = Stop, Check, Tighten .

Safety first: Strangulation warning

Never use ropes/cords unattended . No games, no wrapping around the neck or limbs. Check all fastenings and strands for damage before each use.

Warranty, Lifespan & Service

Warranty: 24 months from the date of purchase against material/manufacturing defects.
Lifespan: up to 5 years with proper use and care.
Excluded: Damage caused by misuse, modifications, outdoor/damp room use, overloading.

Mini-FAQ

Are children allowed to train alone? No, always with supervision.
Will it fit in small rooms? Yes, it requires approximately 1 meter of free space and clearance from the ceiling.
Why not use carpets with a high pile? They reduce stability and increase the risk of tipping over.
EN 913 – what does it mean for me? It regulates, among other things, requirements for stability, strength and safe design.
