Saskatoon Correctional Centre: Cold-Climate Proven Durability

The Saskatoon Provincial Correctional Centre equipped its recreation area with Helios Multigym from Outdoor-Fit — tamperproof, weatherproof correctional fitness equipment built for secure facility environments. 

The Saskatoon Provincial Correctional Centre, operated by Saskatchewan's Ministry of Corrections, Public Safety and Policing, opened in 1981 and houses adult men in custody (a 2025 expansion added over 300 beds). In a prairie climate with hard winters, the Helios Multigym's weatherproof, tamperproof build is well suited to a busy provincial recreation area.

The Solution

Cold-Climate Durability for a Provincial Centre

A high-use provincial centre in a cold prairie climate needs equipment that keeps working through freeze-thaw cycles with minimal servicing. Outdoor-Fit supplied one station built for supervised, high-frequency use:

Helios Multigym — a six-station multigym for up to four users and 50+ bodyweight exercises. Its chin-up and dip stations use Outdoor-Fit’s chin/dip assist mechanism so all fitness levels can train, alongside a plyo box, back extension, knee raise and calf-raise step — built in heavy-duty steel with tamperproof hardware. Each station also carries full-colour instructional placards with clear, step-by-step technique, and Outdoor-Fit’s structured programming lets staff run guided sessions as a positive-behaviour incentive — so residents can train correctly and largely on their own.
