AMG Fitness Programs

Welcome to Adapt, Move & Gain (AMG)'s fitness page! AMG Fitness offers three different programs for varying types of abilities. New workouts for each program will be published every Sunday so you can be ready to tackle the week ahead! Instructions for each program will include both video and text demonstrations for each exercise so you can safely and effectively complete the movement.

Below you will find a general description of AMG’s classification system, based on the Paralympic Swimming Classification:

  • Classes 1-5: are for wheelchair athletes with limited use of both hands and legs, along with limited trunk control.
  • Classes 6-7: are for those able to transfer to the floor and/or have the ability to stand.
  • Classes 8-10: are for standing athletes with limited mobility in legs or arms.

NOTE: These programs are interchangeable so if you find one option to be too easy, try another. Since there are so many varying types of disabilities you may still have to adapt some motions, but this program was created to easily change ALL of the workouts offered!

Adapt

This is focused on those in classes 1-5 and provides sitting and limited movement exercises. This program is focused on getting your heart rate up and improving core strength to allow for greater mobility in your activities of daily living.

Move

This is focused on offering workouts for classes 5-7. The focus of this program will be an adaptable HIIT workout with different circuits to gain strength and increase heart rate. Weights are not required but preferred

Gain

This is focused on workouts for classes 7-10. The program will include weights and resemble a HIIT workout with more complex exercises that require the ability to move from floor to standing.

Useful Practices for People with Disabilities

Having information on specific disabilities can help increase the effectiveness of your workouts.
