Don't let your disability keep you from exercising, especially if it's something you enjoy! All of AMG Fitness' programs are free for participants. The workouts in each program are the same, they're adapted to meet an individual's needs - seated, seated and standing, or standing. Each program has ~ 20 workouts. As a nonprofit AMG Fitness relies on the generosity of donors like you. Please use this link if you would like to support their mission.

The mission for AMG Fitness is three-pronged:

Workout Plans: Create numerous workout routines that are easily customizable for varying types of abilities through three different programs.

Creating Community: Provide online and in-person resources to help empower AMG members to live healthier lives and gain an increase in movement.

Raise Awareness: Elevate the discourse around physically disabled people and the need and benefits of physical fitness in this community.

Fitness Programs: 

Adapt - This is focused on those in classes 1-5 and provides sitting and limited movement exercises. This program is focused on getting your heart rate up and improving core strength to allow for greater mobility in your activities of daily living.

Move - This is focused on offering workouts for classes 5-7. The focus of this program will be an adaptable HIIT workout with different circuits to gain strength and increase heart rate. Weights are not required but preferred

Gain - This is focused on workouts for classes 7-10. The program will include weights and resemble a HIIT workout with more complex exercises that require the ability to move from floor to standing.
