In this episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy Show, host Jimmy Clare sits down with Sherry Shaban, an athletic therapist, osteopath, and adaptive fitness coach, to explore what fitness looks like when every body, ability, and limitation is truly welcome. Sherry shares how a devastating injury reshaped her approach to movement and why she now focuses on helping people in pain, with chronic conditions, or who feel failed by traditional gym culture find a kinder way to move. Together, Jimmy and Sherry talk about embracing adaptability, listening to your nervous system, and building routines that work with your body instead of against it—especially for autistic and neurodivergent adults who feel overwhelmed by typical fitness advice. You’ll walk away with realistic ideas for starting where you are, reducing shame, and slowly building a fitness practice you can actually enjoy and sustain.
Key Takeaways:
•
Why adaptive, inclusive fitness matters for people with injuries, chronic pain, disabilities, and neurodivergent challenges
•
How to start where you are and adjust movement to your energy, pain, and sensory needs on any given day
•
The role of the nervous system, stress, and mindset in how your body responds to exercise and change
•
Practical, judgment‑free strategies to make fitness feel safer, more enjoyable, and truly for every body—not just “gym people”
