aboutSectionText

The Aspire Leisure Centre was the first fully accessible Training Centre in Europe for disabled and non-disabled people. Approximately one third of members are disabled, which compares with a national average of 2-3% in other sports centres. We proactively encourage disabled people to join and take part in all activities by subsidising their membership and activity costs and offer a fully Inclusive Fitness Initiative approved fitness studio.

1st swim since wheelchair user

I visited Aspire whilst an inpatient at Stanmore Hospital. It is fully wheelchair accessible the pool has pool chairs and a ramp into the pool, the gym has movable bits so wheelchair users can still use equipment. All the staff I met were really helpful and friendly. There is a small cafe on site.

The facility is fully accessible for disabled people. The entrance is flat and there are lifts. All facilities are shared between disabled and non disabled people. The swimming pool is 25 metres long and is maintained between 30-32 degrees, making it ideal for the very young, old or those with conditions that are temperature sensitive. It has full ramped access, removing the need for hoists for wheelchair users.
