Her gym partner is her boyfriend Garrett, who is a professional poker player. He was paralyzed in 2010 after falling and breaking his neck. The couple met in California back in 2016 and instantly hit it off.
Not only are they deeply in love with each other, but also a fitness couple of note after making a name for themselves on social media. Even though his functions are limited in his upper body, he works out to strengthen the parts he has control over.

His strength and will power inspires me and I hope that after seeing him in action, you too will be inspired to push yourself to the limits and reach for the skies.
Do you know of someone who doesn't allow their disability to hold them back?
