What if fitness wasn’t about fitting in… but about making space for everyone?

In this episode of Live Healthy Louisville, we sit down with Jason, co-founder of Rise Fitness, whose journey began in disability ministry and led to helping build a gym where athletes of all abilities can pursue strength, health, and confidence.
Jason shares how his early work shaped his belief that every person deserves the opportunity to move, grow, and thrive — and how that belief now lives at the heart of Rise’s culture.
We dive into:
- How disability ministry shaped his mission and leadership
- Creating a fitness environment that welcomes every ability level
- Why inclusion builds stronger communities
- The power of movement for confidence, independence, and quality of life
- How to remove barriers that keep people from starting
We are thankful for Results By Design for giving us this voice on the Live Healthy Louisville podcast.
