Description

River City Inclusive Gym (RCIG) is a 501(c)3 local Richmond non-profit gym (tax ID #83-1813906) that strives to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities through fitness and fun.

 
 Since 2016, RCIG has provided athletes of all ages that happen to have special needs a safe and positive environment to exercise, improve overall health and maintain physical fitness. The athletes that comprise RCIG have a variety of challenges such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, Attention Deficit Disorder, Intellectual Disability, and various genetic disorders.

 
RCIG fills a unique niche, offering the only year-round recreational fitness program for individuals with disabilities in Virginia.  The response to our program has been tremendous.  Unfortunately, we must continue to place families on our ever growing waitlist that wish to participate. These families are excited to find a gym that speaks directly to the special needs of their children while providing a safe opportunity for improved health and fitness.  Demand for our services is strong.  We have over 230 families on the waitlist while currently servicing hundreds of individuals each week.

 
Our Board of Directors has approved over $7,000 in scholarships since January 1, 2024. We do not turn anyone away no matter the complexities of the disability, elevated behavior modification needs, or income level.

 
 There are over 18,000 school age individuals, and even more adults, with disabilities in the greater Richmond area. We’re All In to reach as many people as possible, but we need your help.
