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.
NEW TRAINER
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.

ABOUT JULIE
My passion for finding CMT friendly ways to exercise started with my own story. I have Charcot Marie Tooth, Type 2A and I’ve always loved fitness. I’ve been active throughout my life, although, in the past, I’ve struggled to find exercises that were right for my body. Because of this, I decided to learn more about fitness and CMT and then turned my hobby outward to help others with CMT find safe and effective ways to exercise. I’ve made it my mission to adapt classic exercises to work for those with CMT at whatever stage of progression they are in. I strive to build workout plans that match their energy levels and specific needs. Each individual has a unique fitness journey that is ever-evolving. My biggest goals are to have each client feeling more stable as they move through their everyday lives,and feeling stronger throughout their whole body. I believe goals are essentially to success, but fulfillment comes from learning to love your body during every step of the process. During our time together, I'll challenge you to create goals for yourself AND encourage you to love your body during every step of the process. I can't wait to start working with you!
