Are there any gyms for children with a vision impairment?
The Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) supports leisure centres to be more welcoming and accessible environments to disabled people. Facilities across the country have been awarded the IFI Mark accreditation. It helps leisure facilities to get more disabled people physically active.
Gyms are awarded accreditation at one of three levels: Good, Very Good or Excellent.
Find an accredited gym on the Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) website.
If there is no accredited gym near you, call your local gym and see what services they offer. Ask if you are able to go round with your child, so you can support them.
