Inclusive Facilities and Activities

Fleetwood YMCA in partnership with Wyre Borough Council and the Lofthouse Foundation has recently been awarded Level 1 of the Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) Fitness Mark. More of our centres are currently working towards this standard.

The IFI accreditation means that our fitness staff at Fleetwood YMCA have received specialist training to assist them to better serve people with differing disabilities in the fitness environment. Fleetwood YMCA has also invested in specialist IFI standard training equipment and adaptations to areas including accessible toilet and changing facilities with a hoist and a functional level of access into the fitness studio.

IFI standard training equipment has also been installed in the new Y:Active Fitness Studio inside St Annes YMCA. The team at St Annes YMCA are currently working towards achieving the IFI accreditation.

Accessible Swimming

All of our Swimming Pools offer assistance into the water via a hoist. Fleetwood YMCA has a mobile hoist available for assistance into the main and learner pools.
