Inclusivity in fitness
The disconnect ends here.
-
It's no secret that fitness is aimed towards the able-bodied.
When was the last time you saw a fitness vlog with disabled variations included in the tutorial?
Exactly.

I was naive to the reality,
until I had the privilege of being invited to join a client’s coaching clinic. After that eye-opening experience I was personally invited to help coach at the U.S Paralympic National Championships. It was exceedingly humbling to discover the disconnect between able-bodied fitness and what fitness looks like for those with disabilities.
It was so frustrating for me to see how the system had failed an entire population-and the frustration of that population can only be tenfold.

Not only does the industry keep you in the dark, it completely erases those who have disabilities.
If you are anything less than perfectly able-bodied, most of what we see in the health and exercise world won’t work for you. Whether your disability is visible or not, you may not be able to do what others can do.

Get fit with someone you can trust.
With the continued experience under my belt, and the committment to continue to educate myself and others, I am excited to offer mindfully inclusive trainings to all.
No matter your body type, there is a way to reach your fitness goals while being seen and heard for the indiviual you are.
