Today, July 28, an official ceremony was held in Bishkek to open the first set of street exercise equipment. The first site was opened in Togolok Moldo Square on Moscow Street. This event attracted great interest from residents of nearby houses and health enthusiasts.
It is noted that similar outdoor sports complexes will soon be installed on Erkindik Boulevard - Bokonbaeva, as well as in the "Birch Grove" in the sixth microdistrict. Each set from Turkey arrived with 10 exercise machines designed to work with various muscle groups. There is also equipment for people with disabilities.

Such relatively inexpensive exercise machines can appear in every yard of Bishkek. Street exercise equipment is a real step towards solving the problems of accessible sports, as well as towards health and the development of mass physical culture.
Both children and adults eagerly tried out the machines and tested their strength. The site will, of course, operate around the clock and free of charge!
