Synergy Active: Empowering Communities Through Inclusive Workouts for All Ages and Abilities

At Synergy Active, we believe that fitness and movement should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background. That’s why we’ve developed a wide range of online SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) activities tailored to support children, teens, adults, and seniors. Our goal is to provide local councils and breakfast clubs with high-quality, adaptable workouts that meet the unique needs of diverse communities.

Whether you're managing a local council programme, running a school breakfast club, or working to improve community wellness, our workouts are designed to make a positive impact. These workouts are not just for the able-bodied — they are specifically created to cater to those with disabilities, long-term health conditions, and special educational needs, as well as seniors looking to age healthily.

Our Inclusive Approach to Exercise

We understand that barriers to exercise are real and varied, but we’re determined to break them down. There are 16.1 million people in the UK who identify as part of the disability community, and many of them face challenges when it comes to finding appropriate exercise options. At Synergy Active, we’ve created a solution for everyone, from school children to seniors. Our diverse range of workouts includes:

• Movers and Shakers Express Workouts: Designed for schools (both mainstream and SEND), these short, dynamic dance, yoga and fitness sessions get students moving, improving their fitness, concentration, and social engagement.
• Adaptive Workouts for the Disability Community: With a focus on inclusive dance, yoga and fitness, we provide seated and standing exercises, as well as high-impact and low-impact sessions, to ensure that no one is left behind.
• Seniors Fitness Programs: Our low-impact and healthy ageing workouts are ideal for seniors looking to maintain mobility, improve balance, and stay active while managing age-related physical changes.
• Workouts for People with Long-Term Health Conditions: These programmesare specifically created to help individuals with chronic conditions, offering safe and accessible options for improving fitness and quality of life.
• Workouts for the Visually Impaired & Deaf/Hard of Hearing: We cater to individuals who may need additional support, providing captioned workouts and audio-guided sessions to make exercise more inclusive.
• Mainstream Digital Options: While we prioritize SEND and disability-inclusive workouts, we also offer programmes that can be accessed by the wider community, helping schools and councils provide fitness options for all children, teens, and adults.

How Our Workouts Benefit Communities

The benefits of regular exercise extend beyond just physical health. Our programmesfocus on physical, mental health, and social benefits to ensure a holistic approach to wellbeing.

• Improved Mobility & Flexibility: Our sessions are tailored to support improved posture, motor skills, spatial awareness, and coordination.
• Increased Confidence & Wellness: As individuals progress, they experience greater confidence in their physical abilities and overall wellness, which in turn enhances mental and emotional wellbeing.
• Social Inclusion: Exercise has the power to bring people together. By participating in our workouts, individuals feel a sense of belonging, which is vital for mental health and social engagement.
• Focus & Balance: Our workouts are designed to improve balance and focus, which can be particularly beneficial for children and adults with SEND or those facing mobility challenges.
• Tailored Options for all abilities: Whether the workout is high-intensity or low-impact, we provide the flexibility for every participant to engage in a way that suits their abilities and fitness goals.

The Importance of Inclusivity in Fitness

It's vital to recognize that many individuals face significant barriers to participating in traditional fitness programs. These barriers could be due to physical limitations, sensory impairments, or the lack of appropriate programmes that cater to specific needs. By offering a variety of accessible programmes, we are not only helping to overcome these obstacles but also encouraging healthy habits that can lead to lasting changes in people's lives.

The opportunity to support these communities and make a real difference cannot be overstated. Through Synergy Active’s online SEND activities, we’re paving the way for a more inclusive fitness environment where people of all ages and abilities can thrive.
