Our gym holds several accessible pieces of equipment, know as Inclusive Fitness Items (IFI). The cardiovascular items have an LED screen with more tactile controls and the resistance items have seats that can be removed.
Supported fitness sessions
We work closely with our enabling team to support student wellbeing at University of Southampton.
Please speak to a member of the team if you need support in our gyms. We're happy to discuss any issues with you, and offer gym equipment that can be adapted to meet your needs.
We have several staff holding GP referral qualifications and Level 3 exercise for disabled clients, with the appropriate experience managing exercise with contraindications.
7 Day Free Trial - Student Disability & Inclusion
We are working with the Student Disability & Inclusion team at the university offering support, tours and a trial of our facilities to those referred to us.
SailAbility
As part of our accessibility initiatives, we offer SailAbility—a unique sailing experience for students with disabilities and additional needs. Our 38-foot yacht, Flying Formula, is based at Town Quay Marina in Southampton and provides a safe, supportive environment for participants to enjoy time on the water. Each session welcomes up to five clients, with two trained staff members on board to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
