Adapt To Perform

🚨 Big News! 🚨

Adapt to Perform is officially a ukactive member! 💪♿️

This is a huge step (roll, push?) for us; not just as a business, but as a movement. Being part of ukactive means we’re joining forces with some of the biggest names in the fitness and leisure industry to make sure disabled people have a stronger voice at the table.

On a practical level, this membership connects Adapt to Perform with a network of organisations driving positive change in health, fitness, and accessibility. It means access to insights, resources, and collaborations that will help us push for more inclusive fitness spaces across the UK.

On a personal level, it’s something I’m incredibly proud of. As a wheelchair user and fitness coach, I know the barriers disabled people face when it comes to exercise. Joining ukactive is another step towards breaking those barriers down, together.

This isn’t just about membership. It’s about representation. It’s about ensuring every disabled person knows they belong in the world of fitness. And it’s about showing the industry that inclusion isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Here’s to rolling forward with purpose. 🙌

I'm happy to announce I've just released:

The Wheelchair Fitness Manual

Everything I’ve learned. All in one book. For YOU.

After years of personal experience, professional training, and working with thousands of wheelchair users around the world, I’ve taken everything I know and poured it into one powerful resource — The Wheelchair Fitness Manual.

At over 500 pages, this is the most comprehensive, science-backed fitness guide designed specifically for wheelchair users. Whether you're just starting your journey or looking to push your limits, this manual will guide you through every aspect of adaptive fitness.

Inside, you'll find:

✅ Accessible cardio and resistance training plans
✅ Core strength and functional movement techniques
✅ Flexibility, stretching, and adaptive yoga
✅ Smart recovery strategies to stay injury-free
✅ Mental health tips to support long-term progress

This isn't just a book — it's your personal blueprint to move better, feel stronger, and live fully. I've written it to be practical, honest, and genuinely useful — because I know firsthand what it's like to adapt, overcome, and perform.

Fitness is for everybody. Let this be YOUR starting point.

How to lose weight as a wheelchair user! 🚀

Losing weight isn’t just about cutting calories—it’s about making sustainable changes that work for you. Here are five key strategies to help you on your journey:

1️⃣ Focus on Nutrition 🍏
Prioritize protein and fiber, cut back on processed foods, and stay hydrated. Small changes make a big difference!

2️⃣ Adaptive Exercise 💪
Strength training, cardio, and daily movement (like fidgeting and stretching) all help boost your metabolism and burn calories.

3️⃣ Manage Calories ⚖️
Use an adaptive calorie calculator to ensure you're eating the right amount. Extreme restriction can slow your progress!

4️⃣ Stay Consistent 🎯
Track progress, celebrate small wins, and remember—it’s about progress, not perfection.

5️⃣ Find Support 💙
Join a community, find an accountability partner, and stay patient. Your journey is unique to you!

Hey Everyone

Unfortunately earlier this year, I was locked away from my personal account and unable to access the ATP FB account too, I've been trying to access but with no luck so far. I have found a work around via FB business but it does mean I'm limited in what I can see from you including Direct messages. If you have any questions please reach out via Instagram and I can send you my email there.
