- Increasing stamina
- Becoming more confident with movement
- Learning how to use gym equipment
- Participating in community fitness activities
- Building a regular exercise routine

Whether you’re completely new to exercise or already enjoy being active, we can build from where you are now.
Inclusive Fitness Programs for People With Disability
Feeling comfortable and included can make a big difference to enjoying exercise.
Our inclusive fitness programs support people with disability to participate in physical activity in environments that suit their needs and interests.
This could mean attending a local gym, going for walks, exercising outdoors, participating in recreational activities or building confidence to join community-based fitness opportunities.
We can support you with:
- Attending gyms and fitness centres
- Learning to use fitness equipment
- Community recreation programs
- Outdoor exercise and walking
- Group and social fitness activities
- Building confidence in new environments
- Developing consistency with exercise
- Exploring new ways to stay active
The aim isn’t to fit everyone into the same fitness program. It’s to find activities you enjoy and support you to participate in them with greater confidence.
Fitness Programs for Adults With Disability
Our disability fitness programs can support adults with a wide range of abilities, experience levels and fitness goals.
You don't need to already be fit or feel confident in a gym. For some people, the first goal may simply be becoming more active. For others, it might be improving strength, learning new exercises, increasing endurance or working towards greater independence.
We can start at a level that feels manageable and gradually build your confidence, skills and activity over time.
Disability Fitness & Wellness Support
Wellness is about more than completing an exercise session. Developing an active lifestyle can help establish routines, build confidence, increase community participation and create opportunities for social connection.
Build Healthy Routines
Introduce regular movement and physical activity into your week in a way that works with your lifestyle.
Increase Community Participation
Build confidence accessing gyms, recreation facilities, parks and other community environments.

Fitness & Wellness Programs for Different Disabilities
Every person is different, which is why we tailor support around the individual rather than taking a diagnosis-based approach.
Our fitness and wellness support can be adapted around mobility, communication, sensory preferences, energy levels, confidence, exercise experience and personal goals.
Whether someone is living with a developmental, neurological, physical or psychosocial disability, the focus is on finding appropriate ways to participate in fitness and work towards goals that are meaningful to them.
Where Can Disability Fitness Programs Take Place?
You don't necessarily need to exercise in a traditional gym. Depending on your goals and preferences, fitness and wellness support may take place in a range of community environments.
We can also support you to become more comfortable accessing an existing gym or community fitness activity.
