Designed with people of all abilities in mind, INCLŪSIV Wellness in Kansas City’s Midtown is a gym that prioritizes adaptive equipment that supports both physical and mental wellness — especially for individuals with disabilities and mobility challenges. “We’re still learning, but we’re committed to creating a space that truly serves our community,” founder Wesley Hamilton (@Wheelz4rmKC) said. Hamilton, a Kansas City native, founded his nonprofit Disabled But Not Really in 2015 after sustaining a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed in 2012. His personal journey inspired him to create spaces where people with disabilities — and their families — can prioritize wellness together. This new space, which opened in October, offers a gym, recovery room with all bodies in mind and a co-working space to prioritize productivity during a busy day. “I wanted to create a space that I felt seen in and that didn’t create so many barriers,” said Hamilton.
