Our Weekday Wheelchair Workouts offers an accessible seated fitness programme, with an introduction into the sport of Adaptive Boxing. The classes are suitable to most people who are unable to participate in boxing from a standing position. The sessions are designed to incorporate fitness, strength and conditioning; paying particular attention to the transfer of functional skills (of adaptive boxing) to increase core stability, mobility and overall upper body strength. Although all of our sessions feature an element of adaptive boxing, experience is not necessary. In fact, you don’t even need to take the sport out of your living room so there’s no pressure to jump in the ring! Consider it to be boxing moves for the functional benefits and not for the fight!
All of the exercises are done from a seated position and can be adapted to suit varying abilities and fitness levels. You must however, be guided by your body and workout to suit your needs.
We are excited to announce that we have decided to extend our free classes to the end of June 2021! From 1st July, these classes will be priced at £2 each.
Our members have found the group to be a useful tool to help them remain active and meet new people, as we all try to adapt to the new kind of normality we find ourselves with.
This is more than a class but a much needed and valued community.
