Adrienne, Founder of Abilities Adaptive Fitness
Meet the Founder

I’m Adrienne.

Founder of Abilities Adaptive Fitness
Licensed Physical Therapist, PT, DPT

As a licensed physical therapist specializing in the neurological population for more than 20 years, I have firsthand experience with the challenges that can follow discharge from skilled care.

It can be daunting to navigate safe autonomy, new roles, and your overall wellness once the structure and support of rehabilitation ends. I created Abilities to give members, caregivers and loved ones a place to continue that journey in community – with movement that is informed, appropriately challenging and personally adapted.

My vision is to build a community where you can truly show up as yourself, not your diagnosis - a space where you are recognized for the person you are and celebrated by a network of members sharing a similar journey. Abilities is not just about fitness; it is a source of empowerment, knowledge sharing, shared experiences, accountability, friendships and laughter. Most importantly, a place to remember your purpose. It is with passion, expertise and a personal love for fitness that I will bring this vision to life. I would be honored to have you part of this journey!

Abilities is dedicated to all my patients, past and present. You inspire me every day, redefining strength and showing me true bravery. Thank you for trusting in me, it is a privilege! And to my parents – thank you for who I am today. I love you, always.

Abilities Adaptive Fitness Logo
The Meaning Behind Our Logo

Rooted in strength, resilience and growth.

In seeking a logo for Abilities, I wanted to step away from standard fitness icons such as barbells or flexed arms as it didn't fit the mission. I needed something that represented my deep-rooted purpose and the members I would be serving.

I chose an oak tree as our symbol because it represents unwavering strength, resilience and growth through life's fiercest storms. Its expansive canopy offers shelter, community, and a place to rest and rebuild fortitude.

Its deep roots and towering presence connect grounded purpose to a higher elevation.

And, of course the acorn - the seed of hope.
