said it in the much-more-difficult-to-write Ancient Greek. More recently – about a century ago – famed biologist Sir John Arthur Thomson said: you want. And they also do indoor gyms, but these are not nearly as much fun. What then do I mean tonight by the healing power of nature? I mean to refer to the way in which Nature ministers to our minds, all more or less diseased by the rush and racket of civilisation, and helps to steady and enrich our lives. My first point is that there are deeply rooted, old, established, far-reaching relations between Man [sic] and Nature which we cannot ignore without loss ... there would be less ‘psychopathology of everyday life’ if we kept up our acquaintance ... we have put ourselves beyond a very potent vis medicatrix if we cease to be able to wonder at the grandeur of the star-strewn sky, the mystery of the mountains, the sea eternally new, the way of the eagle in the air, the meanest flower that blooms, the look in a dog’s eye. When Gym Africa supplies and installs a gym, it’s a detailed Make it happen process that starts with the initial consultation. They’ll walk around the estate with you to inspect the location you have chosen, or to help you choose one, taking into consideration any safety and environmental issues and – critically – the sur- face condition of the chosen site, because the equipment must be securely and safely fitted. ‘We install most of the equipment on a concrete base – either an existing one or one we build especially – and then you can let grass grow over it, or we can lay artificial turf,’ explains Hanson. And you don’t have to wait for ages – lead time is between eight and 10 weeks, which includes manufacturing, preparing Surely we need no better reason than this to choose the outdoors as our gym of choice? And who better to install one than Gym Africa, who have been supplying gym equipment to the fitness and hospitality industry for years, and base their business on the key principles of quality products and quality people. What are the options? the site and installing the equipment. Payment terms are gen- erally 70% to secure an order, with the balance on completion, but – depending on the client’s financial viability – they can structure a number of different payment options, including paying it off over 60 months. And, of course, ongoing mainte- nance is an important part of the deal, so your gym equipment should remain in as good shape as all the residents who use it. Gym Africa offers a range of outdoor gym equipment – including balance beams, air walkers, pull-up bars, climbing bars, upright cycle and chest press, and a whole lot more. Some of Gym Africa’s clients like all the equipment in one concentrated space, while others like it spread out over a huge area to ‘encourage’ people to get some cardio in between the resistance training.
