Peloton and the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation announced the launch of a special adaptive fitness collaboration designed to bring immersive and challenging workouts into people's lives in an accessible, efficient, community-driven way. The "Seated Adaptive Strength" program is designed by Peloton Instructor Logan Aldridge with expertise contributed by Reeve Foundation community members and ambassadors especially for wheelchair users living with a spinal cord injury (SCI) or other causes of paralysis. The eight-class program, available on the platform beginning Nov.

7, 2022, is geared primarily toward seated athletes with some hand and arm function. The series also includes a special meditation class led by Peloton Instructor Ross Rayburn that provides breathing techniques and other nuanced instruction designed specifically to accommodate the needs of those living with quadriplegia.  In addition, and in recognition of November as National Family Caregivers Month, Peloton and the Reeve Foundation have also curated "Adaptive Training: Caregivers Spotlight," a collection of 21 classes, especially for caregivers. These classes have been handpicked from Peloton's content library to support caregivers' mental, emotional and physical health - both as self-care and for the oftentimes strenuous work that is essential to caregiving, such as wheelchair transfers. The collection focuses on breathwork, upper body stretches, lower body strength, healthy back yoga flows, and strength warm-ups. Other Reeve Foundation community members who shared valuable input as the program came to life include: Paralympian Chuck Aoki, who leads Prescription to Play, a program housed at the University of Michigan's Adaptive Sports and Fitness program that aims to increase awareness, knowledge, access, and participation as it relates to adaptive sports, fitness, recreation and other wellness resources for people with SCI; Former National Women's Hockey League player Denna Laing, who experienced an SCI in 2015.

Laing continues daily rehabilitation and has refused to give up her active lifestyle; Eric LeGrand, who established Team LeGrand of the Reeve Foundation following his SCI, which occurred on the football field when he played for Rutgers University; Dr. Rex Marco, a nationally renowned spinal surgeon and musculoskeletal oncologist who was paralyzed in a bicycle accident in 2019. In 2020, he established the Rex Marco, M.D., Fund of the Reeve Foundation and serves as the Foundation's Chief Medical Ambassador. Hanna Neider, wife and caregiver to her husband, who lives with an SCI.

Hanna also serves as Peer & Family Support Program Coordinator at the Foundation. Both Hanna and her husband have competed in marathons as part of Team Reeve to raisefunds for SCI research.
