What backs it

Omnigym, a Finnish gym equipment company, installed an outdoor gym at a Paris homeless shelter. After one month, 80% of residents reported improved physical health, with gains also noted in mental well-being, sleep, mood, and energy levels.

Worth noting

The data is self-reported and from a single shelter over one month; longer-term outcomes and broader replication remain to be seen.
