AdaptFit: Fitness for All

Hello APE podcast listeners and welcome to another episode on the What's New in APE platform! For this episode, we spoke with two of the directors of the non-profit "AdaptFit", which is an organization that offers fitness programs specially-designed for people with disabilities in the Los Angeles region. The two directors, Kristin Abadjian and Suzanne Bonne, discuss how AdaptFit has been able to offer new opportunities for people with disabilities to become more physically active in their community. In addition, Kristin explains how her background as an adapted physical educator  has helped her adapt physical activities for people with disabilities and bring adapted physical activities to the public sector. Furthermore, we discuss what drove them to create AdaptFit, the impact of the program on local families,  and how they were able to overcome obstacles in order to create a successful and thriving business that helps people with disabilities meet their fullest potential. Check out their brochure for additional information about Adaptfit and their schedule.
