From George & Danniel ❤️

We can’t wait to welcome everyone to the new Axis this Friday and Saturday for our first public event since rebuilding.

After months of blood, sweat, tears, and an incredible amount of community support, we’re back.

These photos offer a glimpse of our new universally designed home in East Harlem—a place where people with disabilities and older adults can move, create, connect, and belong.
While we’ve come a long way, we’re still building.

We’re actively fundraising to complete several key spaces, including:
✨ The Adaptive Design & Fabrication Lab
📚 The People’s Library for Disability Justice, Universal Design, Health & Wellness
🎙️ The Media Lab for Gaming, Podcasting & Digital Storytelling

Join us this Friday and Saturday for Trails for All, our first public event in the new space. See what we’ve created together—and help us imagine what’s next from Town Hall’s to Comed show’s, creative workshops and parties. We’re ready to collaborate.

Right now, New York City is considering a proposal known as Intro. 303, a measure that would effectively limit 24-hour home care shifts to 12 hours by penalizing agencies that continue to provide live-in care. The intention is to address real and urgent concerns about how home care workers are treat...

Reposting in hopes of better reach…watch this video all the way through, share, repost, favorite, and comment so that this video can been SEEN and so that more can be informed on why disabled New Yorkers are urging members of the city council to vote no on Intro 303 so disabled New Yorkers who receive 24-hour homecare can remain living safely in community.

It’s not because we don’t want our caregivers to have legislation that will keep them from being overworked and underpaid.

It’s because the bill conflicts with state law concerning 24-hour care and Managed Long Term Care, and doesn’t offer a solution to this conflict that won’t leave disabled New Yorkers without the care they need to live.

Friday night be like…

Rebuilding the Nemesis 300—one of the core machines we rely on for adaptive strength work. Nothing off-the-shelf ever quite fits what our community needs, so we build and dial it in ourselves.

Less than 30 days out from opening the new Axis.

Back to work.

Hey… we’ve missed you.

So many people in our community have been checking in on us—stopping by the new space, peeking in during construction, and reminding us why this work matters. Thank you for your patience and for holding us as we build this next chapter. 💛

The progress is real: roof lifted, walls up, windows in, floors down. We’re in the final stretch now—finishing touches, paint, electrical—and then it’s time to bring in the equipment. This space is going to be so good.

We’re building a new, universally designed East Harlem hub so we can continue serving New Yorkers with disabilities and older adults—expanding adaptive fitness and growing into creativity, technology, nourishment, and community in new ways.

We can’t wait to open the doors and welcome you in.
