Updated this week

Since its founding in 2012, Adaptive Training Academy (ATA) has led the charge in building a more inclusive, empowered fitness industry—one that embraces and supports individuals with disabilities in every gym and training space around the world.

What began as a mission to educate trainers has become a global movement.

📊 Here’s a snapshot of ATA’s impact so far:

  • 5,180+ trainers educated across the globe

  • 🌍 51+ countries represented

  • 🏋️ 3,400+ gyms and organizations trained

  • 💰 $1.75M+ in funds granted to gyms and trainers

  • 🧠 102 seminars delivered in 7 different languages

  • 🇺🇸 Training partnerships with the Veterans Administration, Wounded Warrior Project, Challenged Athletes Foundation, MoveUnited, and more!

From small hometown gyms to large-scale government agencies, ATA has empowered a new generation of inclusive fitness professionals. Whether it’s seated ski challenges, classification education, or combat veteran-led training camps, the momentum is growing—and the world is paying attention.

We’re just getting started!
