Fitness Realist was built on the belief that wellness, movement, and community should be accessible to everyone. Supporting the RiseUP Elevation Challenge gives us an opportunity to put that belief into action while giving back to organizations that create meaningful opportunities for people in our own community.

For us, this one is also personal.

Meet Jack. He is an incredible middle schooler with a smile that can melt your heart and an attitude that will absolutely keep you in check. He has a big personality, a lot of determination, and plenty of life to live. Jack and his family have personally benefited from programs that support individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities.

These programs provide opportunities for connection, participation, independence, and experiences that many of us have the privilege of taking for granted.

With his mom's permission, we're sharing a little of Jack's story because he puts a face and a heart behind why organizations like these matter.

Fitness Realist is proud to support RiseUP and The Arc of the Pikes Peak Region. Whether you join our team, donate, or share our fundraiser, you're helping create a community where more people have the opportunity to participate, belong, and thrive.
