"It is a really great place for people to come and cool down but also stay active,” said Lauren Haneke-Hopps, the program specialist of fitness at Ability 360.“I actually heard it from my prosthetist and I kinda didn't go,” Dorr admitted. “Then I heard about it from a friend.”"You start off feeling sorry for yourself,” Dorr said. “You want to stay home and pout. You got to get out and enjoy life.
“The first day I came in here and signed up, I started laughing because just seeing people walk out, and they all have a smile on their face and they're happy. The instructors are happy, it's just an amazing environment.""I have been disabled my whole life,” Haneke-Hopps says, “I started playing wheelchair tennis when I was 12 or 13.”
She continues,"I played for my high school able-bodied tennis girls' tennis team and then was recruited to play for University of Alabama."
