Disability Sports and Fitness


We’re proud to say that our facilities at YMCA Hawker Centre and YMCA Wimbledon have both received accreditation from the Inclusive Fitness Initiative or IFI (www.inclusivefitness.org).

IFI is a programme that “supports the fitness industry to become more inclusive, catering for the needs of disabled and non-disabled people alike”.

To be accredited our facilities have to be fully accessible, we must provide equipment that can be used by everyone and our staff must be trained to IFI standards.

Our gyms at YMCA Hawker Centre and YMCA Wimbledon are accessible to wheelchair users, where we have specialised equipment. We also have a number of classes designed specifically for disabled people across all our sites, like Line Dancing and Boccia.

MembershipMemberships and ‘pay as you go’ prices are available at discounted rates to IFI users and their carers. Membership costs just £32 per month or £320 for the year. Carers get a concessionary rate if they wish to work out too. These discounts also apply to anyone over 16 who has been referred to us by their GP, medical specialist, physio or social worker.
