Accessible Equipment

Universal Gym - Equalizer

This piece of equipment takes into account wheelchair needs as well as able-bodied needs! Designed by a wheelchair user, the Equalizer offers the same functionality as a standard gym for both users with disabilities and able-bodied users. This compact multi-gym allows users to perform an extensive range of exercises, from rowing and bench presses to vertical butterflies and lat pulldowns; all from a wheelchair.

Paramill - Wheelchair treadmill

The Paramill is the ultimate training tool for users in wheelchairs that need a challenging yet safe and climate controlled cardio workout. Accessible to both standard & athletic chairs, the Paramill's single or split roller options allow for customized rehabilitation and training in both forward and reverse motions.

Active Passive Trainer

The Active Passive Trainer (APT) is an exercise unit that provides both active resistance and passive motion. APT provides a wide range of exercises either workload dependent, where it provides a set level of resistance regardless of pedal speed, or Isokinetic, where resistance grows as effort increases.

Evolv Glider

The ultimate exercise and rehabilitation machine! At one time, this type of equipment would only be found in rehabilitation medical centers, but now active wheelchair users, sports enthusiasts or those in recovery can benefit from whole body workouts whenever they like. The fully adjustable unit is easily transferred to, and after securing the calf straps, a simple hydraulic mechanism raises the user into position. The user is then free to exercise the pull/push handles, altering the resistance as desired as fitness increases.

Personal Training

We have a team of driven, focused and determined personal trainers. Our goal is to work with you to meet your goals by inspiring and motivating you with support and determination. We will work with you to set and achieve your daily goal while working towards your end objective. For more information or to book a session, contact us at 250-992-8200 or arc@quesnel.ca.

Fitness Centre Group Orientation

We all know the saying less is more, but let’s be truthful, sometimes two is just better than one. When it comes to working out, having a friend along for the ride makes it that much better. The benefits include fewer skipped workouts and pushing yourself further than you would on your own.
