Asking Your Questions: Where can I exercise with a disability?
We’re still going strong with our Asking Your Questions series – this time the topic is exercise with a disability. You can check out the first five on our news page!
Time for Question #6…
Where can I exercise with a disability?
Once again we were overwhelmed with responses – here are just a few!
Everywhere, I did kids activity holidays every summer in foreign countries. I canoed around Brittany without any aids. I did archery and horse riding and bouldering in many different locations. I grew up doing martial arts before choosing Crossfit. Don’t let your disability be your limiter. Go out there and show the world we can do what everybody else can. I tried many different companies to get a lifting aid before I found active hands and it was a game changer. Don’t give up. Dream big and have fun. [Tina, Facebook]

With the right adaptions (Active Hands) – literally anywhere. Personally I love using the same equipment everyone else does in the gym. Because when I’m there I’m part of a community, not just stuck to the side resorting to using one machine. [Ben, Instagram]

Try looking at pure gyms. Mine (York) has many options for people with a disability or of limited ability, its level access has changing and bathroom including accessible shower. [John, Facebook]
