"The Pioneer in strength training utilizing the Adeli Suit."

What makes Allternative Gym different from every other Suit Therapy center 

• Angie is the ONLY one from the original 3 people that completed the entire training program in Poland and Russia that is actually working with the Adeli Suit and it's methods.

• Were the only center to have and use a 9 foot cage (universal exercise unit) which enables us to provide therapy treatment to adults.

• We are the most experienced in the use of the Adeli suit as a part of physical fitness.

• Our therapies cost less because we are fitness trainers and NOT physical or occupational therapist.  We bring a different approach to therapy that enables us to offer lower rates to our patients.

" I bring not only my experience as a professional but  ALWAYS as a mom first. And that's why I treat every child as I would expect Natalie to be treated and every adult as if they were my family member; with respect and love. I thank GOD every day for the blessings in my life, my children, husband and my experiences of life!"

In 1994, Angie prematurely gave birth to a baby girl named Natalie, who was diagnosed with special needs.  From the very beginning, Angie was involved with Natalie's therapy.  In 1998, Angie joined Parent-to-Parent and became an advocate for children with special needs.  In 1999, she formed the first soccer ledge in Homestead, Florida.  Eventually, the National Organization of Kiwanis got involved and helped support the VIP soccer program, which is now available in 3 counties

After becoming a medical massage therapist in 2002, Angie went to Mielno, Poland for a fairly newly known treatment for special needs children in the US Adeli suit therapy.  She was hired by Natalie's Therapy center to train the staff on all the new exercises and patterning routines she had learned from Poland. They were using the Thera Suit which mimics the Adeli suit. Angie became their top certified suit therapist, and eventually their corporate trainer. She traveled the country training physical and occupational therapist on massage techniques, strengthening exercises, and developmental exercises to do in the suit.

Then in 2004 Angie was asked to go back to Mielno, Poland to train under the original Adeli Suit Therapy therapist for a week. Months later, she also trained under one of the original Russian doctors who created the Adeli Suit. She was asked to treat patients of different severities, conditions, and ages.  This then allowed the company to purchase the Adeli Suit and become the first certified center in the US to offer Adeli Suit therapy.  Later in the year she had the opportunity to meet Dr. Waeel Sallam from Egypt who created his own suit called the Bungy Suit.

In 2005 the company Angie was working for started creating their own suit called the Neuro Suit, which she helped design and create. We still use them today. 

In 2006, Natalie's therapy center closed and inspired Angie to start Allternative Gym.  She became a Certified Fitness Trainer that specializes in special population. Angie is also a certified "Specialist in Exercise Therapy” and is now completing the requirements for a degree in exercise science. Allternative Gym opened its doors in June of 2006 and Angie has seen patients from as far away as Brazil.  She's worked with patients from 12 months diagnosed with developmental delays to a 72 year young stroke patient. 

There is NO other center (GYM) like ours where anyone of any age can come and work out with the highest trained trainers in the world, and feel comfortable doing so.
