BBC Wiltshire article by Sophie Parker, Wiltshire and Sue Davies, BBC Radio Wiltshire
A woman has said she began her own fitness business after always feeling like the "token disabled person" in classes when she tried to take part.
Sam James, from Swindon, Wiltshire, has cerebral palsy and has since won a national award for her business.
Her experience is not unique, with Laura Horton from Disability Rights UK saying many disabled people reported feeling a "little bit burdensome". "Finding suitable, accessible and welcoming fitness opportunities seems to be a reoccurring issue that disabled people tell us," she said.
Sam said there was a "lack of information out there, or a lack of awareness of instructors, on how to include disabled people into mainstream classes".
