About Abilities Unlimited Inc.
Abilities Unlimited, Inc. is a local 501 (c) 3 corporation dedicated to improving the health and well-being of those in our community with disabilities. This is accomplished through providing an individualized work out program for each client. Our mission is to provide critically needed services to individuals in our community that have been born with, or have acquired a disability due to accidents, illness, and disease. Our clients' disabilities include brain injuries/neurological problems including stroke and multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injuries including paraplegics, quadriplegics, transverse mellitus, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We serve individuals with birth defects including cerebral palsy, hypertonic cerebral palsy, Down's Syndrome, Autism, and spina bifida.
Abilities Unlimited focuses on a Progressive Exercise Program, or "PEP." Individuals previously in physical therapy join to maintain and enhance their levels of fitness. Personal goals range from increasing strength, mobility, and independence, to gaining better range of motion. The program provides peer interaction from others that share common goals and clients receive one-on-one training from our certified staff during their scheduled appointments.

Our Founder
Rhonda Langford founded and built Abilities Unlimited as a Savannah-based program designed to improve the levels of fitness, daily living skills, and independence for individuals with disabilities. She was a world record holding weightlifter herself. She recognized that there was a segment of our community that would significantly benefit from the services and training she could offer.
