Access Fitness - The First Disability and Mental Health Focused Gym

Access Fitness is the UK’s first specialist disability and mental health focused gym located at the Wellness Centre at the Concord Sports Centre in Sheffield (view on map.)

Access Fitness is a unique partnership between Autism Plus, Sheffield United Community Foundation and Concord Sports Centre. The gym offers structured training programmes lead by a qualified Fitness Instructor who has a background in disability and mental health support.

As part of the gym each member will have their own personalised plans to encourage a healthier lifestyle. Members also have the option of either one-to-one support or to attend small exercise groups. Family members are also welcome to attend sessions.

    Hi, my daughter has learning difficulties and is interested in attending the access fitness gym. Please can you give me an idea of costs, as this would be coming out of her support budget. Also, is the gym open every day? She would be looking to attend on a Thursday, or could possibly do Tuesday’s. Thanks.

    Hi Jayne, There is space on a Friday 1.30-2.30 as part of a group session which would be £3.75 for the first 12 sessions. The Gym is for anyone over age 14+. If you would like to ask more questions feel free to email us. We also have new fitness Classes which run every Tuesday (1.15pm – 2.15pm) and Thursday (3.30pm – 4.30pm) at Ponds Forge, Sheaf Street, Sheffield S1 2BP. accessfitness@autismplus.co.uk

    Thank you

    Hi, I am enquiring about my 22 year old nephew who suffers with autism, he is interested in starting at a gym to do werghtlifting. He works 5 days a week, 9 am till 5 pm. We live in the Rotherham area and was hoping you could put us in the right direction to help find a suitable gym for him to participate in a weight lifting program. Thanks for any help

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Very good presentation, brave of the speakers to tell their stories and had a very high impact - feedback from Mate/Hate Crime presentation and video session at Safeguarding Working Together Conference

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
