The Friends were happy to donate new equipment costing £1,700 to the Bader Gym in QMH as the gym doesn’t have a budget for refreshing equipment!
The gym supplied us with a shopping list that included a Nordic back extension machine, sissy squat bench, stacking slant board, medicine balls, wrist weights, fixed weight barbells and kettlebells.
The new equipment was chosen to give further choice to disabled and non-disabled members. And the Nordic back extension machine is a hit with some users already!
Members can attend for general exercise programmes, or for management of specific conditions such as back pain, cardiac related conditions and neurological conditions. The gym is also open to staff- free of charge.
