WHAT PARENTS & CLIENTS SAY

Jomar

“I’m so glad I can show how great I am at sports again – just like back in high school before I lost my balance!” — Jomar, A3 Adapt Athlete

athlete training at the gym

“My son has been training at A3 for over a year now. I can not say enough good things about the program, and all of the staff at A3. They are very serious fitness professionals, but in addition to that, their approach to adaptive and/or special-needs training is outstanding. Athletes (not “clients” or “customers”) are given excellent fitness and safety instruction, attentively, diligently, and with respect, so that their potential can be realized. The benefits are too numerous to list here briefly, but it is WAY more than merely “getting some exercise.” – Deanna F., parent of A3 Adapt Athlete
