Empower

Our Empower program supports people with chronic conditions who need minimal support. It's an inclusive, fun and supportive space to meet other people and stay fit. Classes are small so you get as much support as you need from our gym instructors.

Empower is designed to help you maintain an exercise routine. You'll have space to do your tailored program at your own pace, but an instructor will always be there to support and guide you.

Sessions focus on building muscle strength, flexibility and balance.

Empower+

Our Empower+ program provides strength training for people with disabilities who need a high level of support.

Our gym instructors will supervise the session. Along with your carer, they'll help you with strength exercises using a range of equipment. They'll also discuss how to reach your fitness and strength goals.

Empower+ will suit you if you can use gym equipment with the support of your carer, including upper and lower body movement.

One of only a few programs like it in Melbourne, Empower+ is not just about strength and fitness - it's about making meaningful connections with people with a shared lived experience.

Disability Sport and Recreation studied the program and found that most people got physical, emotional and social benefits from participating.

Initial assessment

Before you join, you'll need to have an initial assessment. One of our instructors will use this to design a tailored program to meet your goals. 

Book an assessment online or by visiting us at reception. You must bring a completed client referral form to your assessment. 

A carer must attend every session with you and will get free entry.
