ATA AFFILIATES

MAKE A DIFFERENCE | BECOME AN ATA AFFILIATE!

AFFILIATE OVERVIEW

ATA Affiliate gyms and organizations represent the highest standard of inclusive fitness training.

Each affiliate has received the requisite education that enables them to provide safe and effective adaptive and inclusive fitness training for people with disabilities. ATA Affiliates have been vetted to ensure the training facility adheres to ATA’s standards of accessibility, risk mitigation, and safety procedures.
