Adapted Fitness Equipment
Our fitness centres at Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex and the Innovation Centre (temporary location) are equipped with:
- Assisted Dip/Chin Up Machine – Build strength and target muscles with less tension. The weight stack helps users offset some body weight as they work up to their goal.
- Nustep Machine – Inclusively-designed recumbent trainer (sit-down) allows users to experience a low-impact workout while seated.
- Upper Body Ergometer Machine – Resembling a hand bike, this machine allows users to remain seated while using their upper body to pedal. It also has a removable chair, allowing a wheelchair to be wheeled up to the machine.
We also offer a variety of products for reduced hand function which provides users with increased independence in the weight room. Active Hands, including gripping aids, d-ring aids and hook aids, are available in the weight room upon request.
