Mobility with Cody Koontz
Certified Personal Trainer
August 26th, 2025
Crossover Community Center
Join our Breaking Barriers Phoenix District program on Tuesday, August 26th at 6:00pm and hear from Cody Koontz, Certified Personal Trainer, on “mobility” - what it is, why it’s important, and a few “relatively easy” ways to gain and maintain mobility.
Improving your mobility contributes to
- Ease of movement
- Maintaining independence
- Improve quality of life
- Injury prevention
- Improved balance and coordination
- Increased strength and flexibility
- Faster recovery
- Reduced pain and stiffness
- Improved posture and alignment
- Mind-body connection
This event is part of our Breaking Barriers program which is free and open to everyone. Registration is required. Click “Register” below and we will see you on the 26th!
About Cody: My approach to personal training is largely based on observations from working in physical therapy. Most people don't know the exercises they can do to reduce their pain or limited mobility while improving their overall health.
It's my goal to make fitness accessible. Exercise should be "enjoyable movement." If you haven't found yours yet, it's never too late! Each of us is designed for movement, and our bodies and minds operate at their best when movement is part of your routine.
Find Another Way with Sean Lewis
Presented by Activate Oklahoma
September 25th, 2025
Crossover Community Center
Sean Lewis was born prematurely and with cerebral palsy. But Sean has not let that slow him down. Sean realized from a very young age that he was given a gift to inspire and encourage people of all ages and abilities. Sean has lived his life not to let his challenges define who he is or what he can accomplish.
Thanks to the support of Activate Oklahoma and funding from Ascension St. John, Sean will be the guest speaker at our mid-point celebration for the Breaking Barriers Training program. This celebration is free and open to everyone involved in any of our programs. This celebration is part of Activate Oklahoma’s Breaking Barriers in the Phoenix District program.
