Elevate Your Energy: Low-Pressure Movement for Every Body

Many of us in the disability and chronic illness communities are conditioned to protect our bodies rather than strengthen them, which can make traditional fitness feel intimidating or overly intense. Join certified personal trainer Tony Jacobsen for a welcoming introduction to the Energy Elevator format, a zero judgment experience built for every body that focuses entirely on what you CAN do. We will follow a simple and fun schedule starting with a safe, inclusive 30-minute workout encompassing cardio and mobility/stretch work with seated and standing options. Afterward, we will jump into a short, grounded motivational talk on overcoming the fear of movement and building physical and mental consistency, wrapping up with an open Q&A session where you can ask Tony anything about adapting fitness, modifications, or navigating movement with a disability.
