Supported gym sessions and active recreation across Sydney, at your pace, judgement-free.
Gyms can feel intimidating on your own. Machines you don't know, a room full of strangers, and motivation that fades by week two. So the runners stay in the cupboard.
Someone in your corner for every session, from the front door to the last set.
Never trained before? Perfect, that's who we're best at helping. We start where you are.
Swimming, walking groups, sport, whatever movement you actually enjoy.
Sessions tied to your NDIS goals, so the progress shows at plan review.
That's where our gym access support comes in. A support worker in your corner for every session, from the front door to the last set, whether that's a gym, a pool, or a walking track. Any starting point is the right one. No judgement, no pressure, no going it alone.
Our team builds sessions around getting you moving, including:
If it gets you moving and it fits your plan, we can build a session around it.
See how it worksSupport worker time is typically funded under Core Supports (social and community participation), or Capacity Building where the goal is building skills and confidence.
Gym memberships themselves have specific NDIS rules. We'll talk you through what your plan can and can't cover, honestly, before anything starts.
Get In Touch
Is This You?
Gym access support makes the biggest difference when:
Your doctor or therapist has recommended more movement, and you need a way to make it happen.
Walking in alone feels like the hardest part. With someone beside you, it isn't.
You start strong then drop off. A regular session with a regular person changes that.
If any of these sound familiar, gym access support can get you moving. Give us a call and we'll talk it through.

More than OK. Most of the participants we support are starting from scratch, and we start exactly where you are.
Yes. Parks, pools, walking tracks, sport, your call. The best exercise is the one you'll actually keep doing.

Yes, most of our supports can be funded under Core Supports or Capacity Building, depending on the goal of the session. If the focus is day-to-day support it usually sits under Core; if the focus is skill-building it sits under Capacity Building. Contact our team and we'll help work out which funding category fits your situation.
