Adaptive Fitness Training

Human beings are in a constant state of change. As an amputee we understand what adapting to change feels like. Everything from movement dynamics to mental health is always under our personal microscopes as an amputee. We scrutinize what our “new normal” looks and feels like to us, and we wonder “Now what, how do I improve and make positive change in my life?” Inspirations Fitness was born organically out of this question. Our founder, Bob Mitchell became an amputee after a lifetime focused on evolving physically as an athlete, and mentally as a person who has dealt with depression and alcohol addiction. Having already been a self-proclaimed “gym rat” Bob sought out credentialing from the National Academy of Sports Medicine to learn the science and exercise theories behind fitness to help him understand how to train himself post-amputation for better mobility and to strengthen himself. Professionally, as a Personal Trainer, Bob trained everyday people with typical fitness goals. As he became more familiar with his local amputee community, he began to receive more demand for his unique skill set. To train amputees with a physical fitness driven mindset. After recognizing the demands amputees had for personal training Bob sought out further education and was certified as an Adaptive & Inclusive Trainer by the Adaptive Training Academy, and so began Inspirations Fitness!

Bob has been a member of many various team sports throughout his life, but Baseball was his focus for much of his younger years. As a former athlete Bob thrived in competitive sports and sought out communities of like-minded people. Later in life (prior to amputation) Bob found the sport of Triathlon where he trained for his half Ironman distance (70.3) race and a separate but equally brutal marathon (Marine Corps Marathon, Washington DC). As a former United States Marine Bob adheres to the USMC motto of “Adapt-Improvise-Overcome” always finding a way to mission success.
