West Berkshire Therapy Centre provides a unique rehabilitation gym for people with mobility problems. Several of our highly specialised machines require users to be seated very precisely, and after testing multiple seating options, our clients overwhelmingly voted for the highly adjustable and very comfortable VELA chair. It simply worked best for everyone – and our clinical staff agreed.

An exercise chair is specially designed to support movement, stability, and safety during workouts. Unlike a regular household chair, it often includes adjustable features, sturdy construction, supportive armrests, and non-slip elements. The VELA Independence Chair also includes locking wheels and an electric lift, which make it much safer and easier to use for fitness and everyday tasks.
Yes. While it’s excellent for seated workouts, the VELA Independence Chair is originally designed to support daily activities like cooking, folding laundry, or working at a desk.

Start by identifying your physical needs – such as mobility limits, balance concerns, or chronic pain. Then look for features like adjustability, stability, and support. The VELA Independence Chair meets all these needs, and if you’re unsure where to start, our Chair Finder quiz can guide you to the best model based on your preferences.
Exercise chairs are ideal for seniors, people with disabilities, rehabilitation patients, individuals with chronic conditions, and those who feel uncomfortable or unsafe doing traditional workouts. If you have limited mobility, joint pain, or balance issues, an exercise chair can help you stay active at home while reducing the risk of injury.
Safety is built into the design. The VELA Chair has locking wheels to prevent movement during use, a stable base to support your body weight, and armrests that help with posture and transitions. The chair also features an electric height adjustment and a sit-to-stand lift to reduce strain on knees and hips when getting up or sitting down.
Not necessarily, but if you have a medical condition or are recovering from surgery, it’s always wise to consult a healthcare provider or physical therapist before starting a new exercise routine. They can also help determine if the VELA Chair is right for your specific needs.
