New workout equipment paves the way for better access to Auckland gyms for disabled people

Ryan Anderson Reporter from Central Leader

Good Afternoon Neighbours!

Laura Fergusson Trust (LFT) has partnered with YMCA Lynfield to launch Gym Spaces, a pilot programme aiming to make fitness centres across Auckland more accessible.

The programme has provided four pieces of adaptive gym equipment to YMCA Lynfield, based in Mount Roskill.

On Tuesday, local resident Paul Bath, who lives with a disability, had the chance to try out the brand-new gym equipment.

“It’s important for gyms to have adaptive equipment because it means that disabled people like my wife and me can get back into doing things that are important to us,” Bath said.

The YMCA Lynfield will be hosting an open day on Thursday, 6 October, so the disability community can try the equipment for themselves and meet the gym team.

LFT plans to expand their Gym Spaces programme into other gyms, following a review of the pilot at YMCA Lynfield.

Stolen Haro red mountain bike

Nadeesha from Epsom

My son’s red Haro mountain bike was stolen near Cornwall Park Avenue.
It was parked at our residence on 22nd January at around 8:00pm. We discovered it missing on 25th January at around 2:00pm.
If anyone living near Cornwall Park Avenue has CCTV footage between those dates and times, could you please check and let me know if you notice anything suspicious or see a red Haro mountain bike (photo attached)?
We would really appreciate any help. Please message me if you have any information.
Thank you so much.
