2024 has been an incredible year for Phase Foundation and the community we’re building. Since opening in March, this gym has grown into a dynamic, inclusive space where individuals with sensory issues can challenge themselves, achieve their fitness goals, and build meaningful relationships. At Phase Foundation, we believe fitness is for everyone. It’s not just about the physical gains; it’s about creating a community that supports every person’s journey toward better health and wellness. This year, we’ve witnessed life-changing transformations, and with your help, we can continue to grow this important work.
YOUR IMPACT: BUILDING STRENGTH AND COMMUNITY
Phase isn’t a typical gym. We specialize in functional circuit training that builds strength, develops fine motor skills, and improves daily life. Our clients have achieved incredible milestones—from box jumps to marathons. Behind each accomplishment is a story of perseverance, teamwork, and community. We also prioritize inclusion. Our programs pair clients with Fitness Buddies who provide support both in and outside the gym, fostering genuine relationships. Partnerships with organizations like Best Buddies International, Down Syndrome Alabama, and Equip have allowed us to expand our reach and help more families thrive.
HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THIS YEAR’S INCREDIBLE SUCCESS STORIES:
Daniel, a young man with Down Syndrome, completed his 50th half marathon, becoming the first person with DS to achieve this in all 50 states. Lauren, who once refused to jump, now leaps confidently onto a six-inch box.Noah, who struggled in traditional gyms, is now thriving with exercises like box jumps and bear crawls. Shekinah, a volunteer with sensory sensitivities herself, has found healing and confidence through her work with us, along with a newfound ability to handle sounds and textures. These achievements are just the beginning. Every session, every goal met, and every new friendship is proof of what’s possible when you invest in this community.
WHY WE NEED YOU
Phase Foundation is making strides, but we can’t do it alone. As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of supporters like you to expand our programs, offer financial assistance to families in need, and provide resources to keep our gym inclusive and accessible to all.
YOUR GIFT HELPS US:
Provide one-on-one and group training sessions. Expand partnerships and programs, like our group training with Down Syndrome Alabama and their upcoming 5K goal. Continue to offer life-changing support to individuals and families navigating sensory challenges.
