Make Fitness More Inclusive – Share Your Experience
Our friends at Soda are working on a brilliant new project to make fitness spaces more accessible and inclusive — and they’re looking for disabled people, chronically ill folks, and fitness professionals to get involved.
There’s a short survey you can fill out, plus the option to join a paid interview or co-design workshop on 1st May.
“The knowledge and support we received were brilliant. They made a potentially stressful time very simple and from the moment we first spoke to Jade to the time they collected the car after use they were so efficient and could answer any question we asked. The other companies we spoke to, even when their website showed they had wheelchair access, didn't even seem to understand what that is. Thank you so much.”
