I Built An Outdoor Home Gym Playset for My Kids & I…

[@radicalrye]

This would be a cool buy for if folks pooled resources. Not many people would want to finance this on their own but if an HOA or group of families went in on it for their kids, that would be a cool addition to a neighborhood and encourage the kids and parents to spend more time together outdoors. Awesome review, great looking product!

[@jonathancurtis5122]

Good idea!

[@vo5man]

Also added with the idea of creating a community for fitness

[@TheBcoolGuy]

It's obviously not for people who aren't well-off, and that's okay. It's a luxury item, a prestige item, but one with a lot of practical use. So a top-tier one in my book. Seems to be made in good faith by a serious guy. It's like the ultimate playground.

[@joshmiller7777]

Spot on comment :) my thoughts too. I know this would be far out of the price range I will ever afford, but I really appreciate the quality and understand the target market

[@Justo777]

Totally agreed. Great quality and good attempt. I’m not sure I would want to workout heavy when I need to worry about my kids bumping into me and dropping a barbell on myself. And worst yet dropping on them. So body weight exercises would be all I would do there (assuming I would ever allocate that much budget for the item)

[@Keltzzzz]

[@scottvasnik]

Man this channel really does put in the work to review everything! I’ve seen ads for this for awhile but did not expect to see a 15 minute on it! Haha

[@thetruemorg]

If I had a backyard this would be the thing I put back there. For someone that has kids something like this is why you drive to the other side of town. When you sell your house to another family that has kids, it'll be one of the things that pushes the value up, at least on an emotion level for those kids. Or when they're all teenagers playing various sports, that's the place that everyone goes to train. A lot of your indoor garage gym reviews get me to shrug my shoulders, but this outdoor one is the kind of thing that a community really needs and you build your own community out back.

[@ericjohnson369]

Me and my kids Love our swingsesh. The owners are also great people and made the whole experience super smooth and were very accommodating. I had damage to my slide from the shipping process. I was not going to seek a replacement because it was just a scratch on the bottom of the slide and didn’t affect the performance. They saw on the delivery notes there was damage to the slide and reached out to me making sure everything was okay. Very cool move by swingsesh!

What do you do about plate and barbell storage? That’s what I kept wondering about during the video

[@lucasrezabek-laird719]

More like this! I've been wanting more information on rack attachments my kids can play with while in the area with me working out, this is pretty awesome - but please have a video on rack attachments that kids can use as well! My daughter, for instance, loves my gym rings so much. Love what you do!

Looks really cool. One big issue I have is all the holes on the post I can see some pretty bad injuries with fingers getting rock on them while they’re playing and not thinking.

[@fredericklelievre2561]

[@ak-zw8jv]

Would love you to do another video on ideas to keep the kids busy in the gym.

[@codywilson4347]

I bought my daughter a gymnastics bar and balance beam off Facebook marketplace for about $100 total and put on some pads and placed in my gym. She really likes it so far (2.5yrs old) and she can tumble around while I work. I even lower my gymnastic rings for her and she likes that too.

[@tabularasa820]

Really love this. If my kids were a few years younger we would have considered this. This is cheaper and less maintenance than a pool, and will encourage lots of play.

[@kevinsturm6806]

I’d love something like this but I’d have to save up for longer than my kids would want to play on it to be able to afford it

[@outtrigger]

you could build a diy version of this for much cheaper if you have the tools and know-how this looks nice though

My life-time home gym goal is actually something similar to this but less "playful" and more oriented towards serving for calisthenics and gymnastics training

[@Dingdong3696oyvey]

Love it! During COVID I did my workouts the local kiddie park. I haven’t been back to an indoor gym since.

[@appidydafoo]

7:55 - all I see is a kid running down those stairs, failing to take a 90' turn, leaping off the platform and knocking their teeth out on that steel barbell sleeve - which will effectively be "invisible" to them relative to the bright blue of the uprights. I think everyone knew at least one kid growing up who "turned a corner" too fast and caught grandma's wingback chair at eye level, or some equivalent.

[@YourFavoriteLibertarian]

I love everything about this! I'd want it on a super cushiony matt with a horse stall style platform for the rack area. All black kinda like the owner footage. Then OD Green for the uprights. Other than the price, I'd be in! Super cool concept. I hope more options come out to drop the price via competition but the materials used don't really lend to the price coming down.

[@dudeh9702]

I don't have kids yet, but this looks super freaking cool! Is it made in USA too? You kinda mentioned that.

[@davidb1975a]

My grandkids would love this.

[@IndustrialMaintenance]

Coop, please do a review on kids barbells. My kid likes to workout with me, rings n such are nice but I really want a 5-10 lb barbell olympic style

[@fleamcbaggins3087]

My man Coop, what a LegendFace!

[@MrGrigs681]

It looks awesome and if my kids were still kids, then I would be very interested in one if not for the 2.5" uprights. 2x2, 2x3 or 3x3 would all have been better choices. Proprietary sizes are usually a poor choice in the long run.

[@josefrancoach]

Amazing product. Love this!

[@michaelbowman1681]

Its a great idea. Good long term goal as far as price. Also when the kids are young adults they can use it to train aswell. 🎉

[@TeamSwingSesh]

This is exactly why we made it. Kids transition from play to sports and having seen their parents work out gives them a huge advantage. It’s a more versatile investment than just a playset!

[@StingRey_7]

If I had small children on the way, this would definitely be going in. I’d even try to see they could spec a narrower mini-rack to use with Rogue’s 2.5kg kid barbells.

[@mattabell3657]

I’ve been looking at the Super Sesh for the past 2 years. My youngest is just old enough to play on it now so I’m going to pull the trigger this spring. Any suggestions for outdoor rated barbells and bumper plates?

[@chaosdisciple3052]

I would look at Fringe Sport for tough bumper plates.

This is super cool get to spend time with you kids and workout sadly I’m 16 and greatly do not have kids and I’m going to the military for 20 years when I’m 18 so I don’t think ima be having kids but this seems super cool for parents

[@7spadestheman]

Really great set that encourages fitness and play. Which, let’s be honest, are almost the same thing and something a lot of us are lacking. I live in the UK and ended up buying something similar. Growplay monkeybars. Has the same modular setup, build together and meant to last. But the added cross training element on this is really unique. I’d have gone for this if they had it here and I had the space. And the budget…

[@joshuascott5814]

This looks like something I’d love to have. It’s definitely way out of my budget, but honestly if you have a budget for a good playset AND a good home gym you’re already knocking on the door of some of the mid range stuff here. My budget is more in the pull-up bar and gymnastics rings range 🤣

[@CraftLulz]

I wish this was available 3 years ago, i would have bought this instead of the costco playset.

[@soranhernandez6425]

I just imagine re-racking 405lbs for squat on this thing and all the kids screaming "EARTHQUAKE!!!" 😂❤

This is really cool. Sure it's expensive but it's not out of line at all compared to other premium playsets. Would like to see more playset-type options though like a playhouse roof, climbing wall, etc.

[@drewcrewsdpt]

I see it as you’re getting a playground and a squat rack, so cost kinda makes sense. But it definitely is more than I’d be comfortable spending with my one kid, if I had more kids I might be more willing to consider it. I see it as a luxury nice to have item but not necessary.

This is a gimmick piece of equipment and any review beyond "well, it should last a while even though its pretty dumb" is terrible. For one... kids are only kids for a few years - then what? A regular person spent 10k for a bunch of random crap attached to a bad squat stand and pull up bar? Give me a break GGR. The bigger this channel got the worse it got.

Cool idea. $8600 isnt an amount many are going to spend on a whim, but honestly that doesnt seem very expensive for all you get. Many squat rack systems can get into the 5k+ range, are 11 gauge steel, and dont have a kids playground. I expected much more expensive.

If you've never taken down a cheap swingset. Then you have no clue why this product is way better. I hate taking rusty screws and bolts out. Loosing them, only to find out the wood is too rotted to move it to a new home.

the location of the platform for boxjumps isn't ideal, if u wanted to bench u would hit it with the plates.

[@squealer42]

Ho many asSambly hours required?

[@sdsith]

I'm not a father yet, but my wife and I hope to start after grad school. Seeing this actually looks pretty exciting. Now, we are not wealthy at all, so the price looks intimidating, but that's really the only true downside to me. If a person can afford it, this seems great, but I also think, for people in similar situations to me, it also provides an opportunity to plan and save up. Planning and saving for a wooden jungle gym seems a bit odd, but this seems like something that can be saved for to get when the child reaches X age. Maybe my thioughts on it are odd but that's how my mind is working. Any other soon-to-be parents or people considering parenthood please chime in, supporting or opposing, I'm curious.

[@Peter-cx4ir]

My main rack and all of my equipment is in my unfinished basement. The kids (3 & 6) always want to be down there when I’m lifting and love to climb on the rack. So I bought a slack line ninja course and a few extra items like a swing and small cargo net and screwed a few 2x4s across the floor joists and set up a pretty sick place for them to play and swing. Ended up being about $600 or so total just because of the shipping on the gymnastics mats. Now I get to lift and I can watch them play ~20ft away. And they can just come back to the gym when it’s their set. Great for winter time which is 6 months out of the year here. In the summer I’ll just put my cheap old squat rack in the garage and the kids will be outside on their wood play set. This is a cool concept I think just overpriced for people without insane disposable income. Especially when kids’ interests come and go on a whim. You don’t want to be the one going “go play on that, it cost a ton of money!” When they inevitably get bored of it.

[@sdsith]

@Peter-cx4ir now that is smart. It also sounds like it could be (relatively) easily adjusted if they need a "change of equipment". Normal childhood boredom is something I didn't even consider. Thank you very much for your thoughts and the ideas!

[@Peter-cx4ir]

@@sdsithyou bet buddy. Yeah it’s really versatile, ultimately just carabiners on eye bolts. I can take down the rings and replace them with a baby swing for the little guy when we’re all down here.

[@jamesjeffresspiyuki9yntype763]

I’m kind of curious of who is the target audience for this. Like if this is your only gym then you have to deal with the downside of weather conditions plus you still have to buy the rest of your gym equipment like bars and plates and whatever other things you want like dumbbells and stuff. But do you store that in the garage and lug it around when you want to workout. That’s annoying. If you have a garage gym then like honestly are you really going to use it once the cool factor wears off or are you going to just wish you got your kids a proper playground. You have to be very rich, have a big yard, love training, and have kids that understand not to run up on you when you’re doing barbell movements. Also I feel like bench would be a headache. And you can probably get injured working out on uneven ground even it’s only a bit uneven. It’s a really cool idea but I don’t know who the target audience is.

[@Markus-fw4px]

A kid in my neighbourhood accidentally strangulated itself on such a rope, so watch out for your kids.

[@rjm656]

I'm the target market for this (young kids, and I can afford it), but I wouldn't buy it. The main problem I have is that metal isn't an ideal surface for children to play on. It gets hot in the summer, and it's really unforgiving on falls. Wood or plasti-wood composite handle heat better, and it's much softer. I also think the "longevity" aspect is overrated--kids play on these for a few years, then they outgrow them. I'd rather not stress about dumping the playset for a few bucks to the next person, than finding another niche buyer willing to value the investment here and willing to disassemble and reassemble this. I think it's a cool idea, but don't really like the execution.

[@TeamSwingSesh]

Our coating will meet or exceed wood and plastic in terms of thermal protection! We lived in Yuma Az so this was a specific design requirement from the beginning. Added benefit is that it doesn’t require maintenance and won’t give you splinters. The beauty of a SwingSesh is that it transitions nicely as kids grow out of swings and slides and transition to sports activities. They will have a natural advantage having watched mom and dad work out!

As a side note I can't imagine a military member taking the chance to buy one. Even if they could afford one imagine getting orders to go overseas and then realize they're 1000lb over weight due to this monstrosity.

[@Markinator83]

I also don't get the 70+ years...10 are enough for kids, so wood is fine.

[@thomasbrown7328]

Agreed- if you’re paying that much for a permanent piece make it something that the kids can keep using a least once they become teenagers. Make every section big enough for adult bodies to use. Make the swing chains longer- it’s fun as an adult to swing on those long swings. Make the dip bars flare out so different size bodies with different shoulder widths can use. Those tiny slides stop being fun for kids when they hit 7 years old or so. I like the fact the climbing rope and monkey bars are high enough for adults. Lastly orient the rope so kids can swing on it. Kids love to run straight at the rope- leap and grap it and then swing. This set up if they swing too far they’ll hit the main portion of the rig.
