A Seed of Hope
The Utah Adaptive Fitness Project was born from a simple yet powerful idea: everyone deserves access to exercise that truly changes lives. Founded in 2025, we recognized a critical need within our community for adaptive fitness programs that are not just safe, but specifically designed and delivered with science-backed protocols. We aren't just a gym; we are a dedicated, mission-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to making movement accessible.

For the Parkinson's Community
Our Youth Programs like Spectrum Strong and Grow Strong create safe, supportive, and sensory-friendly environments where young people—including those with autism, PTSD, or trauma histories—can build skills and emotional strength.
