Steel Bones has launched a weekly fitness club in NORWICH in partnership with ABLE 2 BE, SPORT ENGLAND and IRWIN MITCHELL.   Thanks to the funding these sessions are free to ensure there are no barriers for anyone attending, all are welcome.

Our first fitness session was held on 26th July  where we had individual coaching by a specialist, experienced, excellent trainers who have worked with disabled clients.  ABLE 2 BE’S expertise and care are superb with a down-to-earth approach designed to empower others to achieve their goals and ensure wellbeing is inclusive of all.  Each person will be able to attend the sessions in a bespoke way which suits their requirements.

This group will be crucial in enabling the amputees to meet others like themselves and provide encouragement and support the fitness sessions will reduce isolation and loneliness and amputees will be more able to cope and gain confidence, to be less anxious.

The gym is well situated with parking, easy access for wheelchair users, excellent machinery in a state-of-the-art luxurious purpose built gym.
