Impacting Athletics opened their doors on November 1st, 2022 with one goal in mind: offering affordable, high quality athletic education for children in the Youngstown area! The owners of Impacting Athletics, Alisha and Adam Kagarise, came up with the idea for the gym when they formed the Austintown Youth Track Program in the summer of 2022. Their goal for the program was to find 50 kids, age 3 - 13, to sign up, with the cost only being $5 for a one hour session. To their surprise, 200 kids signed up! Amazed by the turnout, they realized there was a real need for affordable, local, athletic programming in the area that challenges kids in a fun way.

Alisha and Adam both have doctorates in Physical Therapy, both have been Division One and award winning athletes, and are also the parents of three children under the age of seven. So not only do they realize the importance of keeping kids active, but also keeping them interested and making fitness fun! Through their gym, they offer classes that blend competition, imagination and challenging athletic movements that aim to improve overall fitness, while still providing children with an experience that they will remember for a lifetime. Their programming includes diverse styles of fitness from jumping, climbing, throwing, and more!
