Revolutionising Fitness for the Deaf Community: The UK's First Deaf-Focused Company
Our mission is to revolutionise the fitness industry and break down communication barriers for the Deaf community. With 1 in 3 Deaf individuals suffering from mental health and health complications, it’s clear that the fitness industry is neglecting their accessibility needs. We’re determined to change that by providing deaf-inclusive training and accessibility, so that every Deaf person in the UK can reach their full potential in fitness
About Worldwide Deaf Gym
At Worldwide Deaf Gym, we believe that fitness should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their hearing abilities. That’s why we’re dedicated to revolutionising the industry by providing inclusive training and accessibility for the 450+ million Deaf and hearing-impaired individuals worldwide. Our focus on sign language as a key tool for communication not only helps to attract more members from this marginalised group, but also improves their mental and physical health. By partnering with us, your gym can attract more members, support your employees, and make a meaningful impact on the Deaf community in the UK and worldwide.
