Building Confidence One Rep at a Time: Inside River City Inclusive Gym

With over 40 weekly classes, RCIG is redefining what it means to be active, social, and supported—especially for individuals with disabilities. In this episode, Mike gets real about the challenges of balancing growth with intentionality, future plans to develop job training opportunities for adult athletes, and why creating human connection is the foundation of it all. Whether it’s expanding their facility or helping someone build confidence through social interaction, RCIG’s impact runs deep.
