Option #1 is the closest, minus the bamboo jungle feature, which seems more ornamental than functional to the average trailgoer. A better option would be something similar to the Auditorium shore renovated exercise area. No bells and whistles: just pull-up, push-up, dip-bars, and benches. 4 Please make at least one of the pull up bars for taller people. Not one pullup bar at any of the 8/30/2020 9:18 AM existing exercise stations anywhere on Lady Bird Lake is suitable for any person 6ft or taller. 5 Option 1 sticks to the basics and how to use the apparatus is intuitive, and looks like it will be 8/29/2020 8:00 PM more durable. Option 2 apparatus looks unfamiliar, complicated to use and expensive to maintain and repair. 6 Other parks have gliders, balancer, bikes. Would be nice for austin 8/29/2020 8:27 AM 7 But I also like the bamboo jungle! Very cool 8/28/2020 8:35 PM 8 Option 1 looks like it might be more fun for kids. 8/28/2020 3:31 PM 9 The bamboo jungle is fantastic- it is a great piece to feature in austin. it is at the crossroads of 8/28/2020 1:42 PM aesthetic and fitness. 10 option 1 is much more aesthetically pleasing and sculptural. option 2 looks too busy 8/28/2020 1:22 PM 11 Options should ensure the maintenance requirements, and try to avoid ones that may become 8/28/2020 7:47 AM inoperable with improper use or maintenance. 12 I really like having good pullup bar options. #2 doesn't offer that. 8/27/2020 9:25 PM 13 Option 2 seems more interactive and fun. I also like that it is segmented and has dividers so 8/27/2020 6:17 PM there’s a slight feeling of privacy. Many parks have most of the equipment in option 1 and they generally go unused because they are limiting and allow for exercises that we could just use a nearby wall, fence, etc for. 14 bamboo jungle seems fun for kids too 8/27/2020 5:52 PM 15 They are both wonderful options, but I voted for option 1 because I think the bamboo jungle is 8/24/2020 10:26 PM unique and innovative! 16 I mostly use pull-up bars at such stations, especially when they're about 7'8" tall, and solidly- 8/23/2020 4:48 PM mounted steel bars and frames. If you go with Kompan instead of Trekfit equipment, perhaps consider their Pull Up Station Pro product, which has a 7'8" pull-up bar. 17 I appreciate how option one has plenty of opportunities for pull ups, as well as parallel bars. I 8/22/2020 7:25 PM haven’t used this equipment area in the past but I do run on the trail. Having the updated equipment for body weight core exercises to supplement jogs would be greatly appreciated! 18 The second one has more things I can do for strength training, which is why I might be 8/22/2020 4:42 PM stopping here. I don't have the upper body strength for the parallel bars or the pull up bars in the first one. I love the suspension trainer. I have similar straps at home where I can use my body weight to get a good workout. The parallel bars on the second one are lower which would make them available to people that can't really do anything with the higher ones, like me! Overall, the second one seems to have more accessible, fun options for more people. 19 I feel like I would exercise better for option 2 8/21/2020 12:39 PM 20 Option2 looks really modern and fun. Looks like it would provide great variety compared to 8/21/2020 12:27 PM Option 1. 21 The first option is visually appealing, but it's really not clear how it could be used for a workout. 8/21/2020 9:42 AM The second has so much more variety, and the instructions on it are helpful too. 22 I like option 2 equipment better but the bamboo structure would be a cool addition from plan 1 8/21/2020 12:02 AM 23 I like the options and flexibility of the second one. Offers use for more types of abilities. Love 8/20/2020 11:39 PM 6 / 64 Butler Shores Exercise Equipment Enhancement Community Engagement the suspension trainer. 24 Slight preference for option 1 8/20/2020 4:30 PM 25 For Option 1: The bamboo jungle is definitely a different approach that would excite me to use 8/20/2020 3:07 PM it. I would use my imagination, pretending to climb through a real jungle. For Option 2: It's very traditional and non-threatening. Take that as you would be it good or bad 26 I like option 1 a lot except for the bamboo jungle. I don't understand the need to create an 8/20/2020 2:45 PM opportunity for aerobic exercise. People use the benches a lot for HIIT work. As someone over the age of 25, I would also avoid it due to the potential for injury. I read a lot about fitness, message-boards, etc, and I have never heard of a bamboo jungle. In addition, I see children being attracted to the bamboo jungle, and it's always frustrating when parents allow children to play on the exercise equipment. They linger for a long time and are unaware of people waiting to use the equipment. They also get in the way, which causes safety concerns. If children are the target audience for these, it would be better to have a separate children's area somewhere else. I would rather see more bars or benches as there can be a wait. I strongly dislike Option 2. It's overcomplicated, it looks cramped, and it doesn't provide the simple infrastructure necessary for an outdoor workout. I feel there will be a wait for bars and the rest will go unused. Also, several people jog to the exercise equipment, so additional cardio is a waste. If you hang out by Aud Shores, you can view what kinds of workouts people are improvising just on the benches and the grass there...in addition to the bars. You can see what kinds of movements people are doing. Personally, as a shorter woman, I find it difficult to use the parallel bars by the First Street bridge. They are at a good height for men I assume. I appreciate the two heights on the pull-up bars...there might not be space, but some female- friendly parallel bars might be considered. 27 Option one is much more natural and matches the style of the trail.
