Cardio for ALL abilities! 💪 Our conditioning breakout is all about hands-on adaptive modifications.

ATA's Jenna Muri-Rosenthal shows trainers how to adapt cardio equipment for every athlete. Think single-arm seated rowing with specialized hooks, clever box setups for stability, seated SkiErg, and arm-only Echo Bike.

The key is empowering trainers to create effective cardio stimuli, ensuring no athlete is left behind. This is inclusive fitness in action! ➡️ What are your favorite adaptive cardio hacks? Share below!

Leveling up adaptive coaching skills! 💪 Meet Shaye Patel, a Level 3 CrossFit Coach passionate about performance breathing. He's back for his in-person ATA course, enhancing skills he started learning online during COVID.

Shaye's focused on mastering adaptations and scaling for ALL athletes – from those with cerebral palsy to individuals recovering from injuries. He's excited to apply these practical tools, including brilliant ideas like skateboard rowing, to his clients and Power Monkey Camp athletes! This is what is all about: practical, hands-on learning to empower every athlete. 🚀

1-on-1 or group classes? Where should adaptive athletes start? 🏋️‍♀️

ATA Seminar Staff and Neuro SME, Jenna Muri-Rosenthal, shares a simple truth: It all comes down to what the athlete wants to do.

If their goal is to join group classes, starting with 1-on-1 training is the best way to empower them with "go-to" adaptations and warmups. Give your athletes the tools they need to succeed and confidently modify their workouts in any environment—even if a class coach isn't fully prepared. True inclusion starts with empowerment!

ATA Seminar Staff Jenna Muri-Rosenthal, puts it simply: The foundation [for adaptive coaching] isn’t a degree, it’s attitude and presence

The Adaptive & Inclusive Trainer (AIT) course gives you the roadmap to proivde neuro fitness training, but the reallearning happens when you start coaching. Just start. Don't wait to be "ready"

Thoughtful, caring coaches who accept they don't know everything, but just start working with adaptive athletes, will be far more impactful than those who wait to try to know it all.

They learned about all things adaptive, put the new skills into action, and are coming away with a full toolbox of tips and tricks for training adaptive athletes.

This interaction is what the Adaptive Training Academy is all about—collaboration, curiosity, and pushing boundaries! 🤝🔥

Watch as and break down the mechanics of a rope climb. When Kym asks to feel how Logan moves, it’s a masterclass in kinesthetic learning and trust.

Logan’s secret? "It’s all in the foothold." Instead of hand-over-hand, he slides his hand to keep tension—showing that while the technique changes, the goal stays the same.

"I never mind trying anything." That’s the mindset that changes lives!

It’s about more than just the workout—it’s about the whole person. 🤝

We’re thrilled to have a Wounded Warrior Project Adaptive Sports Specialist at our seminar! Moving from Rec Therapy to the "independently driven" world of CrossFit is a game-changer.

The goal? Helping veterans gain the strength and health they need to be better partners, parents, and athletes—whether they’re throwing a baseball with their kids or hitting the trails.

Fitness is the foundation for everything else!

Mastering the jump without the bumps!

Watch as dominates box jumps by using a rig upright for orientation. It’s all about finding those clever anchors to move with confidence!

ATA co-founder couldn't help but ask the question every athlete thinks: "Have you ever taken a nasty shinner?" Her answer? A confident "No." 😂

Proof that with the right technique, there are no limits—just progress.

01/07/2026

Even coaches with decades of experience have "aha!" moments at our seminars.

Look, it's not always about learning a new movement; sometimes the biggest breakthrough is learning a new way to listen and communicate.

When you master the language of inclusion, you're not just offering a service; you're building a community where every athlete feels seen, heard, and respected.

01/05/2026

It’s one thing to watch. It’s another thing entirely to feel.

This is why we don't just lecture; we have coaches experience movement with a simulated impairment, because that's where true understanding is forged.

Suddenly, it's not about "scaling an exercise," it's about rebuilding stability and power from a whole new center of gravity.

So Every BODY Can Move 👉👉 and squat🦿

ATA staff had the honor of leading a hands-on squat clinic for athletes with prostheses at the So Every BODY Can Move – Maryland Ability Day at the University of Maryland

Through movement, coaching, and connection, we saw firsthand what’s possible when inclusive policy and adaptive training come together

The SEBCM initiative has been powerful to be part of—and seeing the new prosthetic coverage law become reality in Maryland is just the beginning

🙌 We’re proud to celebrate the progress and partner with SEBCM to help get everyone the equipment they deserve and the fitness training they need!
