Rachael Hutchinson co-founded the Able2B gym in Norwich with former professional boxer Jon Thaxton five years ago.
The orthopaedic consultant has been described as a miracle worker by the mum of a 19-year-old she is helping.
She will join regional unsung heroes from across the UK at BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards.
The Norfolk and Norwich Hospital surgeon helps people with conditions, disabilities and injuries to do things they never thought were possible.
Ms Hutchinson said the gym empowers people and added: “A lot of people with chronic diseases are medicalised and labelled by their condition.
“I want people to understand all of the abilities they still have.”
