Hello everyone,
We want to take this opportunity to announce that effective August 1st, 2021 DPI Adaptive Fitness will no longer be the official adaptive fitness provider of the Medstar National Rehabilitation Hospital’s adaptive fitness programming.

We encourage everyone to continue to stay consistent with their fitness. You can continue to follow us and the programming we offer by visiting our webpage or social media outlets, in addition Medstar NRH will continue providing their adaptive fitness programming.
We want to thank MNRH for the opportunity to serve you all, for their support and trust in us over the last 7 years and hope that we can come together again in the future to offer even more adaptive fitness programming.
Thank you participants for all of the fun times and workouts, you guys make our work so much fun.

April 2020: NEW NON-PROFIT 501 (c) (3) Established to provide fitness awards for adaptive fitness individual training sessions at DPI Adaptive Fitness
The Adaptive Fitness Legion (AFL) was founded in April 2020 and created to provide no cost individual adaptive fitness to those who may benefit but may not financially be able to participate in 1:1 adaptive fitness sessions.
Due to the success and growth of DPI Adaptive Fitness our Founder wanted to ensure that not just individuals who have the means to work with DPI would benefit, so the AFL was founded to provide opportunities for truly anyone at any level (physically & financially) to be able to benefit from the awesome work we do here at DPI Adaptive Fitness. Local or virtually, now everyone at any level can benefit from the awesome work we do at DPI Adaptive Fitness through the efforts of the Adaptive Fitness legion! Check out the AFL at Adaptivefitnesslegion.org donate, volunteer, or apply for a fitness award today! |
