Adaptive Fitness and Sports at the Y is designed to help individuals with all abilities reach their fullest potential through support and fellowship, as well as health, wellness and sport activities.

The Adaptive Fitness Program provides accessibility for people with intellectual, developmental and/or physical disabilities as well as chronic conditions and acquired brain injuries, to participate in healthy lifestyles at the YMCA with a structured exercise program. The goals are to provide opportunities for the adaptive fitness participants to improve their independence, wellness, and self-esteem, build strong relationships, and develop a network of programs and partnerships that promote greater awareness and understanding of the needs of individuals with disabilities.

Program participants will meet with the Adaptive Fitness Program Director, Christy Bosley, who will help the member set goals, design a personal exercise program based on individual needs, and train participants to use adaptive or standard equipment independently or with assistance.
