How is M2I different?
Our training has been developed (by wheelchair users) within a framework that takes into consideration the uniqueness of physical training while also using a wheelchair and the complex issues caused by muscular impairment due to spinal cord injury.
​
How do I get started?
Improving your health is not a sprint. It is a lifelong process. Progress comes from compounded incremental gains. Therefore, it is imperative to start in a sustainable manner.
​
For newcomers to physical training, it makes sense to take on an “Experimental Mindset”. Commit to physical training as a personal experiment to determine how it makes you feel. Rather than overwhelming yourself with a long term commitment, do our three month program as an experiment. Then decide if you want to continue based on your results.
​
For long time fitness practitioners and athletes, pick the program you feel will work best for you based on your prior experience and current needs.
