Dash Parkour
Dash Parkour
Movement for Every Skill Level
Dash Parkour equipment is meticulously designed for scalability, accommodating athletes of all skill levels. The thoughtful placement of equipment in ready-made Dash Parkour spots and modules, combined with the versatility of tilted shapes and varying heights, ensures that every participant, from beginners to advanced, finds a challenge suited to their abilities.
This design not only enhances safety but also encourages progressive skill development. By integrating diverse angles and heights, Dash facilitates a seamless escalation of parkour movements, making it an ideal choice for communities aiming to foster inclusivity and engagement in the dynamic world of parkour.
Lappset parkour solutions are designed in close cooperation with the Finnish Parkour Academy, which has over 3000 practitioners attending the classes weekly in 6 different cities.
The founder of Finnish Parkour Academy, Perttu "The Spidey" Pihlaja, tells more about the Dash Parkour design; see the video on our Youtube!
What are Dash modules?
A module is a small parkour spot full of functionality, but it is also a piece of a puzzle!
Modules were designed based on the landscape designer's wishes: To allow designers to use their own creativity and, at the same time, provide spot-on and safe functionality.
The beauty of the modules is that one can combine them with simple logic to create unique and still functional parkour areas. And to do it quickly like a pro!

One of the most modest items in Dash Parkour manages to display the essence of parkour
Have you ever thought that one of the most modest items in the Dash Parkour range manages to display the essence of parkour and good design?
The idea of all Dash Parkour equipment is to meet the multiple needs of parkour. Dash Parkour is a complex and diverse entity full of well-planned details with parkour professionals and Lappset designers. The basic techniques in parkour are wall techniques, jumps and landings, hanging and swinning, underbars, balancing and vaults.
Dex landing 081701M is a landing equipment at its best. It considers the aspect of variety and scalability. Dex landing provides three different surfaces for precision jumps and landings: flat small surface, flat larger rectangle and tilted rectangle. Already, as a landing platform, these pose different challenges for users, but also, when approached from different angles, even multiply the variation.
Good design provides countless possibilities and invites one to come back and train.

Sisu Fitness
Sports equipment should look like sports equipment
Sisu Fitness's sporty design is not just about aesthetics; it's a deliberate choice that invites serious training. This distinctive look also aids landscape architects in creating spaces with clear functions for different user groups, underlining that good design is about evident functionality. On the ground level, sports equipment that looks like sports equipment signals to parents that it is not for the smallest children. Appearance helps to design safe and functional multigenerational outdoor spaces and the function is also clear for the users.
Beyond its appearance, Sisu stands out for the safety of its technical innovations; for example, Sisu’s weight stack is fully housed, minimizing entrapment risks. Needless to say, products are certified by TÜV and meet EN 16630 standards. Appearance isn’t everything, but it can mean a lot!
By investing in fitness solutions like Lappset Sisu Fitness, communities can promote active lifestyles, leading to long-term savings on healthcare costs. Download our resource paper on how the innovative aspects, benefits, and significance of Lappset Sisu equipment can promote a healthier and more dynamic lifestyle.
The secret of the black tube
Sisu Fitness’s weight stack is hidden in a black metal tube, but this spotlight reveals the brilliance and uniqueness of the hidden system.
Manufacturers of hydraulic strength training equipment often boast about their products' 100% scalable and adjustable resistance. However, what they lack is the ability to vary the speed at which this resistance can be utilized. In contrast, traditional gravity-based weight training equipment allows users to adjust their repetition speed, but they are limited in terms of weight adjustability, typically increasing in fixed increments of 2.5 kg or 5 kg rather than offering stepless adjustment.
The innovation behind Sisus’ black tube lies in its unique ability to combine the advantages of both hydraulic and gravity-based systems. This unique fusion sets it apart from competitors by offering unparalleled versatility without compromising on scalability – boasting one of the largest weight scales in the market. This design philosophy aligns with our mission to enable as many people as possible to engage in sustained and varied workouts, catering to a broad spectrum of fitness needs and goals.

Connections to everyday life
The design of Lappset Senior Sports equipment incorporates a range of functions that simulate and facilitate everyday activities essential for maintaining senior health. This equipment is crafted with features that mimic daily tasks such as balancing in various forms, climbing stairs, enhancing hand-eye coordination, opening doors, and reaching out while maintaining balance. These activities are crucial for seniors to sustain good physical health and functionality in their daily lives.
Each element of the Senior Sports equipment is thoughtfully engineered to support seniors in practising these fundamental movements. For instance, balance-focused components help improve stability and prevent falls, while stair-like structures enhance leg strength and cardiovascular endurance. The integration of hand-eye coordination tasks contributes to cognitive health and motor skills development. By combining these functionalities, Lappset Senior Sports equipment not only promotes physical fitness but also supports the overall well-being and independence of seniors. It provides an enjoyable and purposeful way for older adults to engage in activities that mirror the challenges of daily life, ultimately fostering better health outcomes and quality of life.
