IFI Equipment Accreditation Sessions

Friday 30th March 2007

Since 2001, the IFI has been working in partnership with a wide range of fitness equipment manufacturers to ensure that the equipment available on the market is as inclusive as current technology and developments will allow.  There have been many developments over the years and currently there are 173 pieces of equipment accredited as inclusive by the IFI from 22 fitness equipment manufacturers. 
 
To help this process, the IFI is looking to recruit a range of disabled people who have experience of exercising in fitness suites and are willing to test and provide feedback on pieces of equipment. 
 
The next accreditation session will take place on
 
Thursday 12th July 2007
English Institute of Sport, Sheffield
9.30am-3pm
 
The IFI provide appropriately qualified fitness instructors and buddies on the testing day to support testers if required.   The purpose of the test is to assess the ease of use and functionality of the equipment, not to provide a full work out for testers.  Each tester will receive a fee of £30 as an acknowledgement of their support and to cover travelling expenses.  If you would like more information, please contact the IFI Office on 0114 257 2060 (Textphone users add prefix 180001 for Typetalk) or email info@inclusivefitness.org
