Become A Client
Learn about the client sign-up process and discover health conditions that would benefit from using our service.
All those who wish to use our facilities will first need to sign up to become our client. Potential clients are more than welcome to visit us and take a look around before committing to joining.
We are fully accessible.
You don’t need to live within the West Berkshire area in order to become a client.
The client sign-up process explained…
First you’ll have an Initial Consultation with our Therapy Manager who will assess your suitability and provide an exercise guidance program with our bespoke machines upon successful completion of the assessment.
A referral from a GP or Occupational Therapist is not required.
The recommended donation for a consultation is £45.
After that, you’ll be shown how to operate the machines during a one-on-one Gym Induction with one of our trained staff.
Our staff are always on-hand to assist if you have any questions.
Once that’s done, you will be able to book in Exercise Sessions to suit your schedule, for the current month and one month ahead.
Most clients visit once or twice a week.
Sessions are shared with other clients and last up to an hour.
There are no fixed charges; clients are instead encouraged to donate what they can comfortably afford. The money received goes toward the running costs of the Centre. The recommended donation per session is £10.
All gym staff and volunteers are trained in Manual Handling and First Aid for emergency situations only. If a client is unable to safely enter the Centre, move between machines, or transfer on and off equipment independently, they must be always accompanied by a responsible adult.
Our top priority is safety. We supervise, observe, and offer guidance on technique and posture. However, we do not provide regular one-to-one assistance.
If your support needs exceed what we can safely provide, we regret that our gym may not be suitable for you.
We are a not-for-profit charity, independant of West Berkshire Council and the NHS. We rely on charitable donations from our clients in order to cover the costs of running our service.
