Nike Training Club adds adaptive workouts to make exercise more accessible

<p>Nike wants to make fitness apps accessible to more people with disabilities. The athletics gear maker has introduced adaptive workouts to the Nike Training Club (https://www.engadget.com/2018-07-25-nike-training-club-for-apple-watch.html) app (available for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nike.ntc) and iOS (https://apps.apple.com/app/nike-training-club/id301521403)) that you can perform whether or not you have a disability. The seven classes in this set target a wide range of movement and equipment, ranging from upper-body strength training with dumbbells to yoga.</p><p>A Nike athlete with limb loss, Amy Bream, leads all the classes. You'll also find guidance from an adaptive training-focused physical therapist. Training Club already offers an exercise program for expecting and recent mothers.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The company isn't alone in making these apps more accessible. Apple added Fitness+ workouts for pregnant people and seniors (https://www.engadget.com/fitness-plus-180632241.html) last year and has Apple Watch wheelchair workout tracking, for instance. Still, Nike's move is an important step that could bring exercise apps to a wider audience.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
