The Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) is a programme that supports the fitness industry to become more inclusive, catering for the needs of disabled and non-disabled people alike.
Through a range of projects and products the initiative has supported facilities across England to create an inclusive service, increasing participation by disabled people.

The IFI model centres on facilities being developed in four key areas:

• The development of accessible and inclusive environments
• The installation of fitness equipment accessible for disabled people
• Ensuring that staff have the required skills to be able to cater for the needs of disabled people
• Ensuring that facilities understand how to target and communicate effectively with the disability market

These four components ensure that the IFI and associated projects and products stimulate a programme of continuous improvement, placing the focus upon more than just accessible buildings and driving forwards the concept of a truly inclusive service.
