Today's highlight for #SpotlightOnCLT Autism Awareness is all about RyzAb0ve Fitness. We spoke with Executive Director Ryan Bost to learn more about this fitness company, and how they encourage fun and inclusivity all over Charlotte. Most recently, RyzAb0ve exercised with Lexi from Belmont Abbey's Lacrosse Team, is planning a huge Crossfit event, and hung out at D9Brewing for a pounding exercise class!
