Key Components to Success
At All Bodies Community, we believe that fitness programs should be tailored to individual needs and abilities. Our experienced trainers work with you to create a workout plan that is safe and effective for your body. Here are the 6 key components we implements into your programing that are required for your success.
Strength Training
Strength training is a key component to fighting the progression of CMT. Whatever your ability level, our trainers are prepared to offer any adaptions necessary to help you achieve your goals!
Core + Stability
Having a strong core helps us to prevent injury and help us stay upright and stable. Maintaining a strong core is essential to improving your gait and stability.
Based on your current mobility we will design a program to help with your stability, balance and gait.
Coordination and
Neuromuscular Connection
Since CMT effects our neural pathways, this is a key component to our fitness programming. Through your customized exercises you will be improving the neural connections in your body. This will help to improve your your coordination.
Stretching and Flexibility
Maintaining flexibility can help to prevent injury in addition to helping improve your gait. At the end of each exercise we will end with a good stretch. Throughout the week we will encourage you to stretch daily.
1 on 1 Coaching and Accountability
You will be paired with one of our Expert Trainers, who will curate customized exercises for your mobility and goals. In-between sessions they will be checking in with you on our fitness app.
See Personal 1 on 1 Training in our 'Services' section below for an in-depth dive into our 1 on 1 training programs.
Community Accountability and Connection
We believe that understanding the the disabled experience is crucial, so through Group Training and our Community forum you'll get the opportunity to interact and connect with other CMTers. See More about Team Training in our ‘Services’ Section below.

Member Testimonies
"I took my two-year-old son to the park and when I faced the initial path with irregular stones, where I usually stop, use a cane, ask someone for help and generally panic! Well, today I MADE THAT PATH ALONE WITHOUT EVEN HESITATING. I feel much more stable! Walking with confidence, with my son, on irregular streets, without fear is priceless! Thank you!

“I have taken “scalable” exercise classes in the past that were really designed for people within the normal range of abilities, which doesn’t include me and my disability. Julie’s patient, kind, and knowledgeable personalization allows me to get the most out of each workout, challenging me with fun exercises that make each session fly by. Since joining, I feel like my exercise routine is more effective, and I’m working muscles that I was missing on my own. I truly look forward to Julie’s sessions every week.” -Cyndi M. Virginia, USA
“I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated our first session. It was eye opening, I learned a lot in a short time and above all else it was incredible to talk to someone who understands CMT! It felt more like the PT I've been searching for in years. I've been doing PT on and off since I was 11 and you gave me better advice in 25 minutes than I have received in 32 years. Thank you and I'm so excited to start working with you." -Sarah V. Vermont, USA
"If you have health issues, you probably know how important exercise is, and yet one-size-fits-all workouts often lead to more problems! Not the case with All Bodies Community. Julie Stone leverages her expertise, compassion, and humor to make every student feel safe and challenged at the same time. She offers multiple variations for each exercise and encourages everyone to listen to their bodies (which is a real thing, people) while giving them a good nudge toward greater strength. And if you're at the top of your fitness game, she will lovingly kick your a** and make you laugh while she's at it. Trust me." -Gretchen Z. New York, USA

“Before working out with Julie I was really lost. I didn’t have a CMT diagnosis, but was in pain all the time and afraid to leave my house. I was going to physical therapy, but it just wasn’t helping. Meeting Julie changed everything. She provided exercises that both, targeted specific areas, as well as that got me moving in general. Plus, even though I didn’t have CMT, having someone who just “knew” the types of things I could and could not do without me having to explain was such a welcome relief. This, combined with having a regular routine, helped my pain management significantly. Moreover, working with Julie also provided me with a community and the confidence to utilize mobility aids that gave me my life back and the ability to travel around the world again. To this day, my husband talks about our life “Before Julie” and “After Julie”…and we have and will continue to recommend Julie to others! " -Jocelyn R. Texas, USA
"Working out with Julie is one of the most wonderful experiences. Having weak legs and spinal- fusion due to CMT, it was difficult for me to find trainers who understood my difficulties. As a result, I always felt insecure about participating in fitness programs. With Julie's careful guidance, and the use of resistance bands, balance pad or just my body weight, I learned how to move my body correctly and felt safe exploring my limits. The daily exercise program is tailored exactly to my needs and helps me strengthen, improve my balance, and most importantly, manage musculoskeletal pain. The positive impact of workouts on my body is equally felt on my spirit. Participating in a group exercise was the first time I experienced such a kind and encouraging environment. When I exercise, I know I'm no longer alone, and that changes the entire psychological experience. I highly recommend workouts with Julie Stone, whether you have CMT or not." -Anna K. Crete, Greece
“I can't express enough how transformative All Bodies Community has been for me. Having struggled with sticking to physical therapy and workout routines in the past, Julie's approach has been a game-changer. Her consistent encouragement and understanding, especially with her own experience of disability, have made the process incredibly meaningful. Thanks to her, I've grown stronger, my daily life has improved significantly, and I've experienced a noticeable reduction in pain. Julie's training has not only enhanced my physical abilities but helped me feel more confident. I highly recommend All Bodies services to anyone seeking a supportive and effective training experience!" -Kris B. New Jersey, USA
