Sport For Every Body

The Global Sport Institute and Ability360 are celebrating National Family Health and Fitness Day at the world-class facilities of Ability360 Sport and Fitness Center. Learn and try out adaptive sports activities from experts, hear from diverse and inspiring athletes, and learn about community resources in an active, family-friendly, fun and welcoming atmosphere.

The day will kick off with inspiring words from a diverse body of athlete ambassadors. Then, opt to join in on dance fitness with an inclusive Zumba class.

After kick-off, attendees can check out open stations with rotating activities like the rock climbing wall, wheelchair rugby and basketball, tours of the facility and more. Exhibitors will also be present and ready with an array of information and community resources to help families stay active and healthy.

This event is free and welcomes all body types, from ages 1-101+. All classes are inclusive and free of charge. Free ample parking is available in the structure between the fitness center and the Ability 360 center. We also encourage attendees to use public transportation. The closest light-rail station is located at 50th St/Washington. Remember to dress for activity and please provide your own towel for swimming. Water bottle fill-up stations will be located around the facility.

This event is in conjunction with the launch of the Global Sport Institute’s new theme, Sport and The Body. The purpose of this event is to defy typical perceptions of what an “athletic body” looks like, and to share with the community a fun and inclusive opportunity for all body types to participate in sport.
