Tara Simmons, owner of All Abilities Fitness, states, “After working with special needs children, teens, and adults for the past 11 years, an ongoing theme was the need for a safe and inclusive space that offered both exercise and the ability to move through sensory areas. Out of these many conversations and parent’s frustration, I decided to offer this service for the disabled community. At All Abilities Fitness Center, we offer movement classes, one-on-one training, private group training, and the option to bring our staff and instructors to facilities in Berks County to apply our program. Our focus is to offer inclusion. Everyone deserves the opportunity to have a space in the community where they feel welcomed and encouraged to attend! We are all about adapted movement and strive off the ability to provide that ‘just right challenge’ with the skill set to understand individual sensory needs. Everyone is included. Everyone moves! We are so excited to be the first facility and program of this type in Berks County!”
