Founded by Perry Nixdorf's own practical and lived experiences, AbilityFix is a purpose-built, audio-led aquatic fitness mobile platform designed to personalize water exercise for people of all abilities based on an individual's mobility and fitness level. The app's purpose lies in improving the lives of people living with limited mobility, injury, or obesity, as well as empowering skilled athletes. "The app is a way for people, whether they're highly mobility challenged or highly athletic, to engage in aquatic exercise, supported by an accessible instructor, guiding them at every level," Nixdorf explains.
Nixdorf, a long-time business owner and co-owner of a 7236 square foot facility that integrates a salon, body piercing studio, and swimming pool, spent years enabling people to use water exercise in their facility. His wife, Starr, an aquatic fitness instructor, encountered a gap between individuals within the class and, from an instructional side, needed a different solution.
