The Evolution for Individuals w/ Disabilities
(Q) Will my wheelchair fit inside the Evolution Home Gym?
If you have a manual wheelchair, for the most part, yes. Some larger wheelchairs, i.e. power wheelchairs and sport wheelchairs may not fit inside the Evolution. But that's still OK! Most of the exercises can be done on or off of the Evolution. As long as you're not using an excessive amount of resistance, it is perfectly fine to be off of the Evolution.

Most of our wheelchair using customers get on the Evolution by grabbing the arms and pulling themselves on - we have videos on this! Don't forget, you can also do your exercises off of the Evolution. If you want to be on the Evolution, contact us at support@evolutionVN.com and we can recommend ramps.
(Q) I have a disability but am not a wheelchair user - can I still use the Evolution home gym?
We can't answer that question directly as we don't know the exact nature of your disability, nor do we consider ourselves experts in disability. We always recommend that you consult with your disability specialist first. However, the Evolution provides a sturdy frame and its exercises are considered to be low impact. It has proven to be a great tool for people who are at risk of falling, have injuries, and suffer from other limitations.
