Cross Competition 12 Outdoor Stainless Steel
Cross Competition™ Line
Cross Competition is a line of products in which a consensus between functionality and cost- effectiveness has been achieved, while maintaining the elite quality of the Clock line. All the structural columns of these products have been made entirely of high quality stainless steel, which guarantees that the device will look attractive even after many years of intensive use.
THE CROSS COMPETITION 12: GAME-CHANGING OUTDOOR TRAINING
Look, I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 15 years, and I’ll be straight with you – most outdoor gym equipment is just… meh. When we started developing the Cross Competition 12 at IVE Outdoor, my team and I were frankly tired of seeing the same old rusty pull-up bars in parks everywhere.
THE “AHA!” MOMENT
Picture this: It’s a rainy Tuesday morning in Portland, and I’m watching our prototype getting hammered by the typical Pacific Northwest weather. That’s when it hit me – we needed to go all-in on stainless steel. Not the cheap stuff, but the kind of material that laughs at salt spray and keeps looking fresh even after that one guy who always chalks up like he’s preparing for the Olympics.
WHY WE’RE ACTUALLY DIFFERENT
You know how everyone claims their product is “revolutionary”? Yeah, we hate that word too. Instead, let me tell you what makes our rig special. We literally had our lead engineer, Mike (total fitness nut, by the way), sleep in the factory for three weeks straight, tweaking every single weld point. The guy’s wife nearly divorced him, but man, the results were worth it.
THE NITTY-GRITTY STUFF
Here’s what happens when you let a bunch of fitness freaks design training equipment:
The pull-up bars are exactly where they should be – we tested this with everyone from 5’2″ gymnasts to 6’5″ CrossFit bros
You can actually do muscle-ups without banging your head (I still have a scar from testing the first prototype…)
The whole thing’s rock solid – seriously, we had our local rugby team try to break it. They couldn’t.
REAL TALK ABOUT MONEY
Let’s address the elephant in the room – yeah, it’s not the cheapest option out there. But here’s the thing: I’ve seen those budget rigs turn into rust buckets after one harsh winter. We had a client in Minnesota who told us their Cross Competition 12 survived -40°F weather while looking brand new. Their words, not mine: “This thing’s built like a tank wearing a tuxedo.”
THE BORING (BUT IMPORTANT) DETAILS
We use the same grade steel they use on ocean-going vessels
Every joint is overbuilt because, well, better safe than sorry
The finish isn’t just pretty – it’s literally tested in salt spray chambers for weeks
If you somehow manage to break it, you probably deserve a medal (and yes, it’s warrantied)
HERE’S THE DEAL
Look, I could go on about specifications and technical details until your eyes glaze over. But here’s what you really need to know: This rig was built by people who actually train, for people who actually train. It’s the kind of equipment that makes you want to work out just by looking at it.
Some gyms have had their Cross Competition 12 for five years now, and the only maintenance they’ve done is hosing it down occasionally. That’s not a marketing line – that’s just what happens when you refuse to cut corners.
