The Abilities Centre is partnering with Helsinki University Research (HUR) and Canadian distributor Rockmount Medical Solutions to bring the world’s largest installation of accessible HUR equipment to Whitby.

The Abilities Centre made the announcement on Thursday saying the project will launch this fall.

The Centre says they along with HUR, and Rockmount are building a model for what inclusive fitness should look like.“This isn’t just about upgrading equipment – it’s about a powerful partnership built on research, wellness, and shared values,” said Abilities Centre President and CEO Michael Cvitkovic in a statement. “Together with HUR and Rockmount, we’re advancing accessible fitness and rehabilitation for our members, high performance athletes, sports clubs, and community members – right here in Whitby.”

Officials say this will be the largest accessible HUR installation in the world.

Representatives from Abilities Centre were invited to Finland earlier this year by HUR and Rockmount to see first-hand how their equipment works.

“We are honoured to partner with Abilities Centre on this landmark project,” said Mats Manderbacka, Founder & Chair of HUR Finland. “This will be the largest accessible installation of HUR equipment in the world, and a testament to our shared vision of inclusive, research-driven fitness that empowers people of all ages and abilities.”

“Bringing new HUR equipment to Abilities Centre has shown how transformative this technology can be,” explains David Smith, Founder of Rockmount Medical Solutions. “The response so far, from both members and staff, has been incredible.”
