Accessible Fitness for All: Inside the Sekond Skin Society

Discover accessible fitness and yoga with Sekond Skin, a new app designed to empower disabled and non-disabled people alike. Learn how inclusive online workouts, certified instructors with lived experience, and adaptive class options make fitness accessible for everyone. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into the world of inclusive health and fitness with Lee-Anne Reuber, founder of Sekond Skin Society—a platform reshaping how disabled and non-disabled people experience movement. This episode explores the barriers many face in gyms, from inaccessible equipment to social stigma, and how Second Skin’s app provides an empowering, home-based alternative. Lee-Anne shares her journey to creating an app that integrates accessibility from the ground up—screen reader support, customisable captions, and multiple class formats including seated and ASL-led sessions. Beyond workouts, Sekond Skin trains and certifies disabled instructors, aiming to transform both access to fitness and perceptions of disability in the fitness industry.
