Wellness and Fitness
Activity and Learning Center
Our mission is to promote health and wellness for our members through education, exercise and preventative measures to ensure a
healthi-er lifestyle. This is accomplished in a safe harmonious, positive, empowhealthi-ering and fun environment. We believe that instead of phealthi-erceiving
fitness as a “work out”, we have designed our program to take a friendlier and nurturing approach by activities in a playful way resulting in
pleasure and laughter. The motto of Ability to Thrive is
“Work, Play, Live Fully and Enjoy Life!”
We believe that both a healthy body and mind are essential to healthy living. We incorporate an educational component that includes
clas-ses on nutrition, yoga, stress reduction, positive thinking, meditation, proper dental care and developing positive lifestyles. We provide
both in-house instructions as well as inviting guest speakers from time to time.
The program is held at World Gym located at 9481 Princeton Glendale Road, Fairfield Bowling Lanes located at 5181 Dixie Hwy and the
YMCA located at 6645 Morris Road.
If you are interested in registration for this program, please contact your Support Coordinator and Ken Routson at 513-594-5489 or 513-942

comprehen-sive sensitivity and awareness training for many conditions- from autism and cerebral palsy to traumatic brain injuries. Every driving team member
acquires a wide range of knowledge and skills to service children and adults challenged by physical and mental disabilities.
The American Disabilities Act required all transit authorities to provide paratransit services for people unable to use regular public transit. But UTS
knows that transit is much more than just a specialized transport. For our passengers, transit means accessibility and independence. Our trained
