Living with an injury, a chronic condition, or limited mobility doesn't mean you have to sit out — Sworkit has flexible options built in, no matter where you're starting from.

Workouts by Need

A few starting points, based on what members most often ask for:

Joint pain, connective tissue or joint conditions (like EDS or arthritis), or anyone wanting gentler movement

Limited standing time, balance concerns, or seated/chair-based needs

Recovering from an injury and medically cleared to resume exercise

These collections are for members who've already been cleared by a doctor or physical therapist to exercise. If you're not sure what's safe yet, check with them first, then come back — or ask one of our trainers below.

Want Something Built Just for You?

Our certified personal trainers can hand-build a routine around your specific situation — equipment, condition, and all. Just tap Ask a Trainer in the app's Help Center. See How do I chat with a trainer?

This article is general guidance, not medical advice. If you have a diagnosed condition, a recent injury, or have had surgery, check with your doctor or physical therapist before starting a new exercise routine.
