Our Story
Milly In Motion, Inc. (MIM) was founded in January 2022 by Kahmilah “Milly” Eley and her mother, Carol Green, to expand access to inclusive, professional adaptive fitness for individuals with disabilities. Inspired by Milly’s own journey with Cerebral Palsy and the gains she experienced through adaptive movement, MIM was created to remove barriers and empower people to choose the fitness and wellness path that’s right for them.
Adaptive Fitness is not a competition. It's a community health ecosystem.
