BOUNDARY BREAKER #2
Meet Aubry A.
Breaking Boundaries with Determination, Movement & Joy
Fitness Instructor • Author • Performer • Inclusion Advocate
Aubry Alldredge loves staying active, performing, spending time with her dogs, meeting people—and, as she likes to say, “collecting friends.”
Whether she's learning choreography, singing, playing the piano, performing on stage, working toward modeling opportunities, or trying something completely new, Aubry approaches life with enthusiasm and determination.
She also knows that reaching a goal doesn't always happen the first time. Sometimes it takes practice, patience, and the willingness to keep trying.
That determination has become part of Aubry's story.
Breaking a New Boundary in Fitness
Aubry had been participating in fitness classes for years when something began to change—she wasn't just following the instructor anymore. She knew the choreography, remembered the routines, and was ready to help lead.
That ability, combined with Aubry's love of fitness and people, led her to take an even bigger step: becoming a certified UpBeat Barre instructor.
At age 22, Aubry became the first person with Down syndrome to earn certification as an UpBeat Barre instructor. She then stepped in front of a class of more than 60 people and taught.
But for Aubry, fitness is about more than exercise. She wants people of all abilities to know that they belong and in her own words, "I want to help everyone feel good.” -Aubry

Four Years. One Goal. She Kept Trying.
Aubry wanted to learn to wakeboard, but it didn't happen right away.
She kept trying—year after year—for four years.
Then she finally did it.
For Aubry, getting up on that wakeboard was more than learning a new skill. It was the reward for years of practice, determination, and refusing to give up on something she wanted to do.
Sometimes breaking a boundary happens in one big moment. Sometimes it takes four years of trying.
Aubry's Six Pack
Aubry is a dog lover—and with six rescue dogs in her family, she really does have a “six pack.”
Her love for them helped inspire I Have a Six Pack, a children's book Aubry created with her sisters. The book combines her love of dogs with a positive message about Down syndrome and the importance of giving rescue animals a chance.
For Aubry, becoming an author was another opportunity to share something she loves with others
Always Reaching for Something New
Aubry isn't finished trying new things.
She plays the piano, sings, has performed in plays, and is pursuing opportunities in modeling. As part of that journey, she has also participated in product promotions and continues looking for opportunities to grow as a performer and model.
Whether she's on a stage, in front of a camera, learning something new, or meeting someone for the first time, Aubry brings her enthusiasm with her.
And wherever she goes, there's a good chance she'll add a few more people to something else she's very proud of collecting: friends.
What Makes Aubry a Boundary Breaker?
Aubry's story reminds us that breaking boundaries isn't always about being the first or accomplishing something extraordinary.
Sometimes it's deciding to try.
Sometimes it's getting back up and trying again.
And sometimes it's using what you've learned to help someone else feel like they belong.
Aubry continues to reach for new goals, welcome new experiences, and—as she would say—collect a few more friends along the way.
Keep breaking boundaries, Aubry. 💙
