No. The vast majority of our equipment can be used directly from a wheelchair, meaning a transfer is not required. Some equipment may require a transfer, but it is entirely possible to complete a full workout without leaving your wheelchair.

At Gym Possible Gateshead, there will always be a member of staff on site to help you access equipment, answer questions and support your training.

At Gym Possible Benton, we do not currently have a member of staff on site during most opening hours. However, a member of the Gym Possible team is available between 12:00pm and 2:00pm every Wednesday if you would like assistance, advice or guidance with your training.

If you require support outside of these hours, personal training sessions can be arranged, or you are welcome to bring a personal assistant, friend, family member or support worker to assist you with your workout.

Absolutely. We encourage members to bring carers, support workers, personal assistants, friends or family members if this helps them access the gym safely and confidently.

If you have more complex support needs, we kindly ask that you attend with a support person, as our trainers are here to provide assistance with training and gym-related activities rather than personal care.

Gym Possible is specifically designed to meet the needs of people with physical disabilities, neurological conditions and long-term health conditions. Our facilities, equipment, staff expertise and community are focused on helping disabled people access exercise in a safe, supportive and welcoming environment. We believe exercise should be accessible physically, financially and culturally.

No. Gym Possible is not primarily a rehabilitation centre or a day centre. We are a fully accessible gym for people with physical disabilities, focused on improving physical and mental wellbeing, building confidence, fostering community and supporting lifelong health through exercise.

While we do offer physiotherapy and some rehabilitation-focused services, our primary purpose is to provide an accessible gym where people can exercise, become stronger and healthier, and enjoy the many physical, mental and social benefits of regular activity. Because of this, members who require ongoing personal support should attend with a family member, carer or support worker, as our team is here to provide fitness and gym-related assistance rather than personal care.
