About
Accessercise was co-founded by British world champion Para-Powerlifter Ali Jawad, sailor Sam Brearey, and lawyer Yulia Kyrpa, who were frustrated that mainstream fitness apps showed no exercises modified for disabled people. The app was covered by TechCrunch in 2023 and is available on both iOS and Android.
What It Does
The app provides an impairment-specific exercise library where every workout demonstration is performed by someone with the user's disability, complete with subtitles and voiceovers regardless of impairment. A social hub lets users share and celebrate fitness journeys, and an explore section provides a directory of fitness facilities ranked by disabled users for accessibility.
Who It Helps
People with a wide range of physical impairments — wheelchair users, amputees, those with limb differences, and others — who want fitness content that authentically reflects their own bodies and capabilities.
