By “cripping,” “queering,” and “thickening” fitness, Revisioning Fitness will work towards the creation of an accessibility tool kit, and foster stakeholder connections with non-profit and for ­profit fitness organizations, imagining a transformation in the way fitness is conceptualized and practiced. This project brings together a high­ caliber, interdisciplinary national research team to generate knowledge and explore new understandings about movement and fitness through centering the experiential insights of non­normatively embodied people and to explore potential contributions of digital storytelling and a mini­documentary to ongoing conversations about inclusion, accessibility, and difference with fitness and movement.
