These weekly sessions are delivered by experienced instructors and will introduce children aged 11-16 with a learning disability and/or autism to using the gym safely.

Children will improve their fitness through using a wide range of gym equipment, build confidence, make friends and enjoy staying healthy.

Please note that 1-1 support is not provided at these sessions, children who require this need to bring a support worker or family member/friend with them.
