Maryland-based gym that offers accessible fitness classes expands to Northern Va.

A Maryland-based gym that offers accessible fitness classes and facilities to people of all abilities, is expanding into Northern Virginia. SPIRIT Club founder Jared Ciner said many gyms aren’t designed in a way that allow people of varying levels of physical or mental ability to participate comfortably. “It could be anything from the environment itself — the culture of the gym might not be one that is welcoming,” Ciner said.
