Certified adaptive fitness · A Lipson Foundation program
Certified adaptive fitness that works: strength, mobility, and confidence for people with disabilities — wheelchair users, hereditary spastic paraplegia, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, limb loss, stroke recovery, cancer recovery, and more — with every movement customized to the participant. Completely cost-free, like everything the Lipson Foundation builds.

Straight from the training floor — no stock photos, no models, just the work.
“I’m just trying to be who I needed when I was younger.”
Rower, tires, sleds, kettlebells. The work.
“To have the support of Zach and the training of Zach…”
From 537.5 to 550. Always getting stronger.
One-on-one on the turf.

The interview series
From the Ground Up
Before Adapthletics was a foundation program, Zach was already handing the mic to the people who prove what adaptive athletes can do. Every episode is one athlete, one story, no shortcuts — guests so far include Brendan Aylward, Zachary Josie, Matt Morton, Tony Jacobsen, Ricky Shic.
Straight from Spotify — every new episode Zach uploads lands here automatically.
