												<h3>DPI Adaptive Fitness</h3>
												<p>DPI Adaptive Fitness has designed and implemented the No Limits Adaptive Fitness wellness program at Medstar National Rehabilitation Hospital.  This is a program focused on fitness inclusion for everyone with a physical disability that would otherwise have limited or no access to a traditional gym.  The programming is truly focused on everyone at any level with equipment and accessories for those with and without limitations. No Limits programming includes an adaptive weight training open gym, adaptive boxing fitness for any level, and adaptive circuit training. The No Limits program is currently open to the disability community and their family at no charge.</p>
<p>DPI Adaptive Fitness works with individuals living with spinal cord injury, stroke, amputation, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, and cerebral palsy to name a few. Their adaptive fitness trainer team consists of physical therapists, rehab techs, and certified personal trainers.</p>

												<h3>The Wodapalooza Fitness-Festival</h3>
												<p>20 athletes will be making Wodapalooza history this year with the addition of the new <strong>Adaptive Athlete’s Division</strong>.</p>
<p>The Adaptive Athletes, from all over the country, will come be part of the Wodapalooza Miami experience. They will be challenged to complete the same number of workouts testing strength, endurance and work capacity as all of the athletes competing at this year’s event.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the Adaptive Athletes division will allow these individuals to showcase their abilities, heart and mental fortitude in the sport of fitness we all know and love. The workouts will be modified individually to suit their abilities.</p>
