I saw that you had problems during your recent gym induction. I have exactly the same problem with most gym equipment. Are able to transfer from your wheelchair to sit on a multi-gym?

Unfortunately far too few fully inclusive gyms but this database can sometimes help to find them:

I have called the major gyms in Coventry and the best result I have received was from Warwick Sport. The staff said there are potentially three pieces of equipment you could use.
