The purpose of this study was to examine the physically active leisure meanings and experiences of women with acquired physical (dis)abilities. A sample of eight women, between the ages of 27–45, participated in this study guided by a constructivist approach to grounded theory. The women participated in two semi-structured interviews. After analysis, three major themes were identified: (1) the essentiality of physically active leisure to negotiating changing health considerations, (2) confronting the stigmatizing gaze as a woman with an acquired physical (dis)ability, and (3) building agency and sense of connection in the community. The overarching theme “reclaiming a sense of community belonging through physically active leisure” captures and integrates insights gained from the overall analysis and challenges ableist attitudes and behaviors. This study highlights the importance of programs for women with acquired physical (dis)abilities to develop a sense of belonging in both (dis)ability specific and mainstream community contexts
