  • 2. Navigate Logistics

    Collaborate with your gym owner to identify the time and space needed for Uniquely Abled Fitness classes. Treat this program as you would any other special program within your gym, ensuring it fits smoothly into your schedule and facility.

  • 3. Become a Member

    Kickstart your chapter by paying the initial startup fee and enrolling in an ongoing monthly subscription. Membership includes a toolkit of startup resources, marketing materials, and everything you need to get your chapter off the ground.
