Join In With Great Inclusive Exercises.
I'm Wendy Hall, and I believe exercise is for everyone.
With over twenty years of teaching experience, with ten years of that learning to exercise and move again after a spinal injury myself.
I had never imagined it would be so difficult to find suitable exercise classes having a disability! Not just that, so many obstacles to join in like registering and waiting lists. I realised I could help others and developed my own class.
Classes should help anyone to improve fitness, daily activity and mobility.
So, if you use a wheelchair?, walking aids? or need support staff? - It's no problem in these classes! Whatever the case, our workouts cover strength, balance, cardio and co-ordination, creating a total wellbeing session for you.

What's Different About FUNction Fitness?
After an accident breaking my neck, I was so shocked how difficult exercise was to find and join in. It didn't always feel comfortable with a walking stick or a wheelchair. You might have found this too?
Like many of you, physio, paralysis, pain, spasticity, reduced function and fatigue are part of every day. This might be you, or someone you know? I found many other gym users wanted to exercise together but classes were just intimidating.
So I developed FUNction Fitness as a class for all abilities to join exercise.
A truly inclusive class is for everyone to join in, wouldn't you agree?

What Participants Say About Function Fitness.
“Wendy took me under her wing and we use different pieces of equipment. She got me out of my wheelchair and using my legs a little, and I feel my walking has improved. Wendy runs Inclusive Circuits, an adaptable circuits-based class, which we do each week. I have found this class to be very beneficial. Wendy is both an inspiration and a great motivator.”
“Wendy is committed to the core in helping people to achieve their goals in health and fitness. I acquired my disability years ago and the gym has been a hugely positive thing. I discussed my goals, concerns, weight loss, posture and general fitness. I felt great during the session and it gave me drive to get fit. I now plan to make this a regular thing with circuits. Thank you so much for putting disabled people firmly on the health and fitness map!”
“Fantastic motivating classes that enable you to work at your own level with the flexibility to push yourself if you want."
