Adapthletics
Adaptive fitness for those who have disabilities!
Episode now live!
Zach was born with a neuromuscular joint disorder called Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, that causes his lower body to become progressively weaker and consistently remain tight.
Zach joined me talk to about spending a good portion of his life feeling sorry for himself by allowing HSP to control him. But then something changed in his mind and he begun to step out of his comfort zone and tackle sports like football. From there he found a passion he pursuing a life of what he could do instead of focusing on what he could do. Following that passion to a career choice Zach now works with a wide range of adaptive clients to help them reclaim the same independence and freedoms.

These pictures deserve their own post. If you ever feel unmotivated or like your disability is weighing you down use this, the proof is here! I went into the race writing, “everyone with a disability can accomplish anything.” After completing the race I wrote, “Told you.” This again, goes to show that anything is possible, it’s just a matter of how far you’re willing to go. Let’s keep at this self improvement journey together. Always moving forward. No matter what. And once again, thank you to everyone who believed in me and gave me support!
