Look at that balance by Benitez! 👀
Balance is more than a physical skill. It’s confidence, focus, and trusting your body.
What we practice here carries into everyday life.

What does balance look like in your life?

We end every class the same way, in a gratitude circle.
Each athlete gets the opportunity to share something they’re thankful for. Big or small. A person, a moment, a feeling.
It’s a powerful reminder to pause, reflect, and recognize just how blessed we truly are, especially in a world that often moves too fast to notice the good.

So today, we want to ask you:
What are you grateful for today?

Drop a comment below and share it with us.
Let’s fill this space with gratitude, positivity, and appreciation for the people and moments that matter most.

What an incredible Saturday at both of our classes 💙
So much energy.
So many smiles.
So much support and encouragement in every rep, every high-five, and every moment shared. Days like this remind us why we do what we do. Movement, confidence, friendships, and community all coming together in the same space.
If this weekend is any indication, 2026 is off to a powerful, meaningful, and impactful start. We’re beyond grateful for our athletes, families, instructors, and supporters who continue to show up and make this community what it is.
Let’s keep building. Let’s keep growing. And let’s keep showing the world what inclusion and connection truly look like.

A strong support system can change everything.
Having people who believe in you, show up for you, and walk beside you through life’s highs and lows isn’t a luxury, it’s essential.
Friends remind us we’re not alone. They give us confidence when we doubt ourselves, strength when we’re tired, and joy when life feels heavy.
Our goal has always been bigger than movement.
Yes, we train bodies, but just as importantly, we build connections. We create space for friendships to grow, for conversations to happen, and for people to feel seen, supported, and valued.

Confidence grows in commUNITY.
The strongest muscles we build are often the bonds between one another. 💙

Inclusion isn’t just being invited. It’s truly being a part.
It’s being seen, heard, and valued for exactly who you are.
It’s feeling respected, supported, and loved. Not as an exception but as an essential part of the community.
Real inclusion means your presence matters.
Your voice matters.
You belong.
This is the community we choose to build every day. 💙

Community is built through connection, trust, and showing up for one another.
This is what inclusion looks like. A space where everyone belongs, everyone is welcomed, and everyone is able to move in their own way. Movement is critical to lifelong health and aging well. It builds strength, balance, independence, and confidence that carries far beyond the gym.
The connections formed here support mental health, strengthen social skills, and remind each person that they are not alone. When people move together, encourage one another, and celebrate differences, something powerful happens.
We are incredibly thankful to for fostering such an amazing community that not only accepts our athletes, but truly welcomes us. The support, openness, and shared belief in inclusion make this partnership so meaningful, and we are grateful to be part of such a special space.

A new year means new opportunities for our athletes to grow, move, and shine.
This year is about showing up with confidence, celebrating every effort, and continuing to prove that strength looks different for everyone. Our athletes remind us daily that progress is not measured by speed or perfection, but by courage, consistency, and heart.
At RyzAb0ve Fitness, we believe in creating a space where our athletes are supported, encouraged, and empowered to move in their own way. We are so proud of each step you take and every goal you work toward.
Here’s to a year filled with movement, confidence, friendship, and possibility. Happy New Year from all of us at RyzAb0ve Fitness.

Movement is medicine.
It’s the endurance to take a stroll around the park.
The strength to carry groceries, climb stairs, and even to get up off the floor.
The balance to move with confidence.
As we age, staying active isn’t just about lifting heavier or moving faster, it’s about maintaining independence, dignity, and quality of life.
Every step, stretch, and rep is an investment in your future self.
You only get one body. Keep it moving. Keep it strong.

Flashback Friday 🕰️ (2019 Edition)
Back to the days when our classes were soaring at Kinetic Heights 💥
Parkour. Ninja Warrior. Ropes Course… oh my!
These sessions were about more than obstacle, they were about confidence in motion, courage in community, and athletes realizing just how capable they truly are. Watching boundaries get pushed, friendships form, and fearless smiles take over the gym floor will always be a core memory for us.
We are so grateful for where we started, proud of how far we’ve come, and excited for what’s still ahead.

Sometimes the strongest workouts aren’t made with weights, they’re made with shared laughs, shoulders to lean on, and friends who show up. 💛💪
Friendship isn’t just fun, it’s life-changing. For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), social connection can be harder to come by, and loneliness affects a significant portion of this community.
Research suggests up to around half of people with IDD experience feelings of loneliness, and many report having few or no close friends outside family or staff support.�

As kids, school gives a built-in social structure. But as adults, our community ages out of those systems, and opportunities for meaningful inclusion can shrink, making peer support and friendship that much more vital for mental health, confidence, and belonging.
This is why community matters.
This is why we train together, laugh together, and grow together.
Not just fitness. Friendship. Support. Connection. ❤️
