Alternative Movement

Alternative Movement is a pioneering adaptive fitness center located in Grays, Essex, dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities through inclusive training and education. Founded by Craig Graham in 2021, the organization emerged from a growing awareness of the significant gap in accessibility and inclusivity within the fitness industry. With a commitment to breaking down barriers, Alternative Movement provides a welcoming and supportive environment for athletes of all abilities.

The center's mission is clear: to make quality fitness accessible to everyone, regardless of their physical capabilities. They offer tailored training programs that cater not only to elite athletes but also to those who are new to exercise or seeking to enhance their everyday fitness. The belief that everyone should have the opportunity to maximize their potential is at the heart of their community.

Alternative Movement offers an array of services, including adaptive 1:1 coaching and small group training, where personalized attention ensures that each individual's unique needs are met. Their experienced team of coaches specializes in adaptive training, providing guidance focused on strength, mobility, and functional independence.

In addition to physical training, Alternative Movement is committed to educating coaches nationwide through comprehensive workshops aimed at spreading knowledge about adaptive fitness. These workshops equip trainers with the necessary tools to create inclusive training environments that accommodate individuals with a variety of disabilities.

For those unable to attend in person, online programming is also available, allowing athletes to receive personalized training regimens that evolve with their progress. Each program is designed to fit the individual’s goals, experience, and available equipment, with regular feedback ensuring that challenges are appropriately adjusted.

Join a growing community that values inclusion, support, and shared experiences. Alternative Movement is not just a gym; it's a place where everyone is encouraged to explore their capabilities and push their limits in a compassionate and inclusive setting.

Fantastic experience: Alternative Movement is an amazing place for people with disabilities to allow us to keep fit, be strong, and meet lots of other people with a range of disabilities. Craig and his team are amazing with all of his clients, making every session inclusive while bringing us together, forming strong friendships that has formed inside the gym and then carried on outside in our own time. To end this, all I want to say, Craig, well done, so proud to call you my trainer and my friend. Congratulations x
