WODAPTIVE

WODAPTIVE are proud to present to you a selection of adaptive functional fitness competitions.

We are a community that is enthusiastic to be giving adaptive athletes of any calibre a chance to compete in a fair and inclusive competition.

Our mission is to help educate, inspire and help those in the adaptive community reach their full potential.

Our aim is to create a truly inclusive set of competitions to be able to compete at and educate others around disability fitness, and that’s exactly what we have done. 

Adaptive training, uses a method of constantly varied functional movements patterns performed at high intensity but in an unconventional way. 

Adaptive Fitness | Alt Movement | England

The creation of Alt Movement came about around a year ago when I discovered a hidden issue. Part of my on-boarding process when working with a new client includes asking about their previous experience exercising.

With almost all of my clients with disabilities, the same unfortunate scenarios were described where the fitness setting, be that a gym, class or just another personal trainer lacked the knowledge or equipment to be able to adapt the activity to allow my client to exercise effectively and even, in many cases, exclude them.

Our mission is to help educate, inspire and help those in the adaptive community reach their full potential. Using Strength and conditioning we aim to work on your strength, conditioning and rehabilitation.
