Capturing the first moments that this athlete has been out of her chair in a looooong time.

Sash has been training with us for a while, she’s pretty confident in her power chair, but never seemed to be challenged enough for my liking 😉

At the begging of this session “Sash, have you ever thought about training out of your chair?” and with some creativity, trust and encouragement, this was her first of 6 sets of assisted squats 🥹🥹

It’s easy to look at all the ways that her body struggles and might seem restricted. But she’s still got muscles that fire and bones that need loading! We’re not missing out on health gains on my watch 😉

This was a wee-while ago, and she’s now mostly independent on a box every session.

This is the good stuff.
This is when the magic happens.
Listen to Sash’s reaction, look at the smile on her face 😮‍💨☺️

We can get so caught up in the details and the constraints, but actually, we’ve adapted what’s “normal”, overcome the nerves and finished the day winning with more confidence, phys/neuro adaptation and joy.

These are some of my favourite moments 🥹🥹

Michael Hynard knows that opening one door can change what someone believes is possible.

Through his work at FAM - Functional Adaptive Movement, Michael has created opportunities for people with disabilities to experience fitness and working out 💪🏋️

But his impact goes beyond the gym.
It's the confidence built.
The friendships made.
The young people who discover something they didn't think they could do.

That's what a legavy can look like.

Who is creating that kind of impact in your community?

🏆 Nominate them for the Sir Murray Halberg Legacy Award...

There’s no such thing as failure, only another chance to learn, adapt and keep going. You only lose when you decide to stop trying. Not a bad way to finish the session.
