Live Through Rec.

What Live Through Rec. does

Live Through Rec. is a privately held LLC founded in 2013 and headquartered in Woodhaven, Queens, New York, that delivers adaptive recreation therapy and educational programming to children, teens, and adults with disabilities, special needs, and chronic illnesses. The company's core service portfolio includes a general Recreation Program, a Bike Riding Program teaching two-wheel bike independence, Learn Through Rec tutoring using Orton-Gillingham-inspired multi-sensory learning, Sports Training, and Fitness programs, all individually modified for participants of all ability levels. Services are delivered in three modalities: in-home and community-based sessions across all five boroughs of New York City, the GO LIVE remote instruction platform offering 24/7 live one-on-one video sessions, and the Live Rec mobile application on iOS and Android with on-demand content across Sport, Relax & Destress, Brain Games, Art & Music, Crafts, and Movement categories.

The business operates on a tiered subscription pricing model with 6-, 12-, and 18-month commitment options, charging $100-$250 per hour depending on session type (in-person group, in-person private, or virtual private) and commitment length, with longer commitments yielding lower hourly rates for in-person group sessions. A secondary revenue stream comes from the Adaptive Sports & Fitness Certification program, which charges a $150 fee to certify external fitness professionals, requiring training, 30 hours of fieldwork, and 15 hours of volunteer service. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, with intake via phone, website appointment booking, and the GO LIVE platform, supported by content marketing, social media presence on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, and partnerships with schools and Special Olympics-adjacent communities.

The company has approximately 5 employees, no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no institutional investors. Operationally it remains a micro-services business geographically concentrated in New York City, with digital channels (GO LIVE, mobile app) representing its primary lever for potential geographic and customer-base expansion beyond the NYC metro area.
