Why Is FUNction Fitness Different?
After an accident breaking my neck, I soon realised howidifficult exercise can be. I still wanted to join in classes, but didn't always feel comfortable with my walking stick or my wheelchair.
Like many, I have physio, paralysis, pain, spasticity, reduced function and fatigue. I found many other gym users, like me, wanted to exercise together but regular classes intimidating. Benefits of exercise are physical and mental, and an important part of 'belonging'.
FUNction Fitness is a class for everyone to join in.
We all have abilities, FUNction Fitness classes will help you.

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."
